This guy gets it Terms and Services

[NyarukoW]

SE has a legal department to write up all this legalese, but whether those statements are ethical or NOT are clearly open to debate. I'll admit I am no lawyer and never read thru everything single line of those TOS and if I did, I am certain I would not understand it all or figured out all the implications. I sutre 99.99% of players out there are not OCD enough to go read the TOS word for word either, we click accept so we can install, not that we really agree with all that that legalese.

Nonetheless, it should NOT take a genius to understand that SE would want to reserve the right to do add-ons, expansion, and sell additional services etc., and that should never be an issue. They are not failing at delivering a proper FFXIV ARR, and they are free to add to it and allow players to sign up and pay for enhancements.

Anyone who does PvP will probably disagree.

Anyone who wants their own house and still cannot due to the low demand will probably disagree.

They promised me proper EU servers at last though, so maybe that is where all the "Additional Services" money has been going all this time, because it sure as hell isn't doing anything to fix the rampant 90k issue Frontlines continues to suffer from.

Your 90K issues are not 100% on SE. Networking problems run the gamut and your ISP, the CO/co-location switches/routers, and other telecom/service providers are all implicated here. For the most part people are not 90K-ing all the time, otherwise you'd see endless posts and thread about it like when DDOS, which are also 100% not SE's fault, happen and the forums fill up with posts about lobby errors and such.

As for housing, there is no problem with housing. All the new wards are like less than 30% utilization, means lots of empty lots.

And PvP has been improved with frontlines replacing the win-trading wolf's den. SE never promised open-world PvP, and on the whole FFXIV is not a PvP game.

In this game I quite literally never suffer from 90ks, not since the initial rush at launch. It is an issue that is solely faced in Frontlines and people are 90king all the time there. Literally every single match, I watch at least one person drop out due to a 90k, sometimes quite a lot (the other day all but 2 of my party 90k'd for a few seconds, bye-bye LB, bye-bye winning node, bye-bye winning in general, all because of 90k), and that's just on my team. As far as I can tell, it is an issue with Frontlines, no where else in the game do I see anything remotely similar to this.

@Housing. I'm willing to bet that all the empty lots are medium to large plots, with all the small lots being sold out. Individuals like myself who are mad enough for buy a mansion for their (small) Free Company and a medium sized house for themselves are perfectly fine. Individuals who have a couple million Gil and would like a small house almost exclusively for the garden/stable, aren't.

Speak for yourself. we have entire subdivisions without even a single house purchased.

You chose to add yourself to an already overpopulated server, and wont shell out the money to go to a server that has housing. you cant have it all, pick what you like the most.

@Bunsen: you are a godsend. Keep up the good work.

I would rather also have the option of paying for something vanity or optional, rather than having it gated behind an in game wall that I cant access, or ever will be able to access due to lack of skill or time (AKA final coil or nexus/zodiac)
