SE morally reprehensible behavior

[Kabooa]

Wait till u see the rage for the ppl who grinded 2.0 relics into zetas.

Prepared to be so disappointed that ur headstart was nothing more than a good job! Now do it again plz.

If this is how they tackle 4.0 this game is done lol.
Ppl r only staying subbed as they wanna see it through/ wishful thinking. But if SE pulls another reset on 4.0 ( which they will ) and make it a grind with no reward then this game's subs r gonna drop like mad lol

Yeah, it's not like we haven't seen this happen any in other MMO ever. Ever.

It's not like the largest poster child for MMORPGs resets itself nearly every two years.

It's not like it's done largely for accessibility reasons.

Resetting won't kill the game. Keeping the main scenario requirement to move forward to expansions will kill the game more than the tried-and-true-reset-at-expansion will.

Man you're just trying to get onto ff14forums.txt now.

You may want to take a breath if you're using words like "immoral" and "evil" when talking about loot in a game.

Immoral can be. For example, another game I played it was all but confirmed that the Devs did not include a chest and one other piece of loot in a boss fight. Thousands of clears and no one had it. Thing is, the game had lockouts, but you could buy replays. Company was making a killing doing this. Apparently it was the second time they pulled that.

After getting called out and a riot starting on the forums, there was a hot fix, in which they didn't adjust the drop rates but the pieces mysteriously started dropping all the time.


But evil, yeah that's pushing it. More than a little.

They made crafting so pointless and the amount of gathering required to craft the endgame stuff is overkill lol.
After ppl clear Alex savage u think those raiders will want to/ be able to progress their crafts? The highest they'll go is all 60 crafts + chimerical set with melds.
But by then u missed out on weeeeeekss of redscrips = as if u missed out on eso tomes.
Ik i would probably stop playing as much if they made the new relic start as grindy as the red scrip system lol.

Its SE, they r gonna somehow either screw it up so bad with a nonsense grind or make it acceptable by the masses.

It's cute that you think this "abstract" scenario totally doesn't happen all the time in the real world.

I think it's very kawaii kunai that you think that this scenario in the real world is a good example of how it should be.

And people wonder why we don't get Dev replies...



But thanks for the melodrama.

I'm just saying, but the OP has called most of what is going on in the crafter world right now. And we do get dev (well community team, that's not technically the same, but whatever!) posts, they just dont usually post on their offical accounts.

You may want to take a breath if you're using words like "immoral" and "evil" when talking about loot in a game.

I think it's kind of refreshing to see someone actually just saying things how they are, instead of minding their words.
Also, this topic is not about loot in the game, its about the time you pay for with your subscription.


Altho I personally consider ''evil'' the wrong choice of words. After all that implies intent rather seemingly random decisions.
Perhaps, to take a note of SE's own lore; ''Chaotic'' would be more appropriate, yes?

Pfft, don't put words in my mouth. I think the example was poorly thought out.

"It's cute that you think this "abstract" scenario totally doesn't happen all the time in the real world"

All I get from this line is that you're saying that times when people are screwed over happens a lot in the real world. Poorly thought out or not, you didn't very clearly express it there, and that was not the core of OP's argument.

I am very interested to see what the "head start" is on the completed ZETA. We all knew the gear would be useless in the expansion after a bit...right? They have got to make it so that you do not have to progress through every single thing to "catch up". I like the way they have addressed things so far and it really should not be that big a deal. I am especially glad to see the crafting "reset" because I got all crafts to 3-Star but did not get all the Lucis tools and did not get to 4-Star on everything. If I had to go back and do all that before I could progress that would be really lame.
