Translated - Suggestion to add options for Bazaar (answered by rep)

[Adol]

　ooh didn't see that one sorry should of added to there since it's exact same stuff like you said.

This stuff was also bothering me for a while so it's good it's been addressed and answered... answer I already guessed, pretty sure most that's been following this forum knows the answer to most of the questions....

It's okay! It was probably better to post it in the general since more people would see it anyway.
But yeah, I guess all we can do is hope this particular issue will be addressed properly at some point in the game's future. I hope they do something about it before the PS3 release, though. It's small things like this which add up to the overall apparent flaws of the game and could easily frustrate new players.

well what I said on the JP side OP was how many server engineer's does SE have for XIV? 1-2? How much has been done on the server since XIV official release and announcement of the dev team changes. Also SE's CEO announced they are working on another MMO title aside from FFXIV if that is so, they should pull the server engineer from that MMO and fix FFXIV first.

One comment after me talked about how SE had position up for temporary contract for server engineer which I also remember seeing. I wonder if that was for XIV and if they actually did find someone good working on the current server program.

Temporary Contract is the part that might of limited the good people that wants to work for SE...

I'd not be surprised if SE are using servers they retired from XI when they did server merges. New servers can't possibly be as bad as SE make out.

Unbelievable that this game isn't even a year old and they sound so much like it has the limitations of the 9-year old FFXI, if not worse.

Great work as always Reinheart, thanks!

Yeah I agree man, what the hell.

Well it could be possible it's not the actual server hardware but the server software being the cause of all this, cuz I really remember reading somewhere SE bought new servers spending tons of money on XIV servers on a JP gaming magazine/online site; can't find the damn article lol. Like others said if SE didn't rely too much on server side processing and use more client side it would probably help this game out a lot but probably SE trying to fight RMT started this issue or something similar to that.

[Wolfie]

Dear lord they really need to fix their server software. This is getting downright ridiculous.

You'd be surprised how well built "old" servers are. The problems stem from the interface (software), not the hardware.

Well they've accomplished their goal. RMT in this game is very limited, if it even exists. Congrats SE!

Seems like there are serious issues at all levels of this game:

-Servers
-Engine
-Content
-Battle
-Story

etc.

============================
So again... and again... it's the server... wonder how much of all our good inputs posted on here can't be done because of the 'server' issue... Don't get mad at the reps though, they are just getting the info and relaying the message, not their fault.

Why should I be mad? The servers require significant improvements, and all signs point to SE working on said improvements. If we had all these features yet the servers and engine were still held together with glue and gum it'd suck hard. This is the overhaul the game needs. Not patches and additions to a flawed core.

Not to mention that implementing these fixes is much easier when the servers aren't about to crash from every adjustment.

Unbelievable that this game isn't even a year old and they sound so much like it has the limitations of the 9-year old FFXI, if not worse.

Every game has limitations like the FFXI at some point in their development. Most of them are taken care of before the game is released, of course, but do you think this is possible for XIV? Maybe if they could go back in time!
