o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

Because it will be massive win no matter what SE do, am I right? This shows how far you are from reality. SWG was successful, it has 1m copies sold. It was far more successful then FFXIV crappy launch, you don't see Sony waiving fee for almost one year. It was on the declining, but given their brand name, their launch, their position nothing could have gone wrong with NGE, am I right? They even have an expansion to go along with NGE! Everything was perfect, all they needed to do was making it more casual friendly and tons of people would be flocking to it like sheeps! And what happened, pray tell.

Again no one knows what players like or dislike unless they make changes to all the core features of the game. it is hell a lot better then doing nothing. As far as comparing it to NGE like you sad SWG was successful and FFXIV wasn't. Which MMO according to you demands more desperate attention and changes?

That is why comparing it to SWG was a bad idea. However, i also find your comparison funny considering that FFXIV is anyways going under NGE whether you like it or not. The new dev team is making changes to all the core features of the game and that is the sole reason why they brought Yoshi in. What were you expecting? the new dev team will leave everything as it is and just put band aids here and there?

You find comparing it to SWG was a bad idea, because you misunderstood why NGE failed. It failed because Sony didn't bother to communicate with their player-base before banging the changes on their heads. It didn't fail because of it being change. Instead of getting all those promised casual into their game, they lost their then current player base and the promised newcomers never came.

FFXIV sorely need changes, but doesn't mean any change can be good, it can be worse.
