New Letter from the Producer, XII

[ShinChuck]

Question: If your fed up with waiting...why are you still waiting? It's a simple question.

I have no issue with waiting, it does me no harm in waiting for the game to amp up. I understand if people are "Fed up" with waiting, but what I don't understand is why people continue to complain about waiting when there is nothing to tie them down to the game at all.

I understand it's not good for the game if people start leaving by the boat loads, but you are sending the strongest message that you are done "Waiting" when you quit and leave. Standing around and complaining about waiting just proves to them your still waiting...despite the complaints.

Not trying to white knight or anything, I just get confused with all the doom-gloomers being unimpressed and still obviously holding on to some shred of hope instead of walking away.

Had a bigger post, decided it was too rambly!

Shorter answer: I disagree with the basis of that question. Whether or not I'm "fed up" with waiting, that doesn't mean it's any less cheeky or mocking for SE to use the tagline "But wait longer!" for every single producer letter and update we get, which was my point. Whether or not I walk away, I'm still in some respects "waiting" for something if it never gets delivered, even if I'm not actively sitting there pining for it.

It takes me virtually no time and zero cost to check the forums or occasionally pop on to XIV (which is also still free, another important point here), and making opinions known is, I believe, a stronger message than just disappearing and leaving SE without any feedback on updates. It's basically no loss for me, and I get to make my thoughts known in a manner that will hopefully lead to a more enjoyable game.

What's wrong with having hope? I think everyone here has hope, and I certainly wouldn't want to chase off any players who still have it.
