The Many Deaths of Final Fantasy XIV

[Ryuukishi]

Funny post. People love to scream that "latest change I don't approve of" will be the death of the entire game. And then they don't even quit. :lol: Why would they expect the entire community to stop playing when they won't even quit?

The only thing that would kill this game is Square turning off the servers.

[Codek]

It was either in 2.0 or 2.1 but one day they cut out like the top 5% of Gil-ionares as a means to get rid of RMT Gil that flooded the game in the early stages. A LOT of people took a hit from that rage'd for a good week.

You could add in:

No NM's! game fail!
Graphics are too cartoony! Game fail!
GRASSS! Game FAIL!!
Combat too fast! Game Fail!
Combat too slow! Game fail!
EGI's are terrible! Game fail!
Open world content or game fail!
Teleporting = Game Fail!
Lack of uniqueness! Game Fail!
ROKIEN! Game fail! (J/K)

But in all seriousness, it seems like people feel they have to go to extremes in hopes that it will get the attention of the devs... Personally, I respond much better to a civil, well thought out, back and forth conversation than someone yelling at me that i am shit. Just sayin...

Awesome read OP. Kudos to you.

I've added Atma to the list. For additions to the list, I've decided to do some research on suggestions before I add them. It gives me a better chance to satireize something properly if I actually have some idea that of the major issues. So while I may not add everything, I assure you that if I find it hilarious, it'll be here eventually.

Great read, Violyre, gave me a good laugh and I agree 100%, people just need to chill out

Removing the bees from Demon Wall was awesome 'cos less informed friends would do AK and say "Oh, we killed Demon Wall so fast the bees didn't even pop."

[Violyre]

Egis have been added! I was a bit iffy on this one, but since I do see a number of complaints, it makes the list!

[Starlord]

Ah, i see. My bad then.

And yes, Violyre, that's precisely what it scares me: "pay to win". If is just for vanity items... i'm ok with it (my wallet will regret it, though...), but if this becomes "buy X to have an extra buff", etc... i'm out of FFXIV... and it will make me sad since i love this game

Personally, even vanity items ( Like wind-Up dolls, craftable clothing etc) Do play a HUGE role on the Market Boards). The more they add anything that should be in the game ( Like the Odin Mount/Wind-up dolls etc), to the Cash Shop, It does take away from the game. Even Vanity items I am not so keen with. Seasonal items? Yeah I suppose that's fine. Anything outside of that is not cool.
