Urgently Change your Approach SE

people could have an idea and it isn't safe to assume they don't..

Sure, some of us may understand programming and may understand that it takes time to implement features from a theoretical level, but we programmers have no possible way of knowing how that effects this specific application since not one of us has any domain knowledge for FFXIV's servers or engine. I believe it's quite safe to assume no one has that knowledge in this player base outside of the few devs that play, and they most certainly won't be the ones posting here. Just because something may seem like a small tweak on the outside does not mean for one second that the underlying system could possibly handle that "tweak" without a serious overhaul.

Being a programmer myself it makes me know one thing for sure. I know that I know nothing about this game's architecture. I can theorize possible ways systems may work on the back end, but it likely won't be the way it actually works.

I honestly can't tell you how often I've seen this happen where I work now and at past jobs. It's never as simple as you think it will be. Suggest ideas, changes, tweaks, new features to your hearts content, but I see no reason we can't be a bit more respectful about it.
