SE, stop releasing content that excludes most of your players

[Shyluv]

If anyone wants to join an fc (for chocobo, airship, whatever) and you are on behemoth, send myself, ludger kresnik or Samos avros a tell. Can be for social or just join and leave if you want to dye your chocobo but don't wanna stick around. We have 21 memhers but there's usually no more than 5 on at one time.

A wide sense of humor is required though.

I hope we will get the "Ragnarok" class airship blueprints!

Cid said you can land one on Azys La, landing space is big enough for it.
Conclusion is that it must exist...

could be the void ark if its allagan instead of Mhachi

Until we get further details I'd be willing to bet the non FC airships from Ishgard will be restricted in some way. Won't have access to the best islands or something. Probably cost a hefty fee to use etc. And if these end up like hunts with good rewards it'll just be a repeat of hunts. Big FCs will dominate the islands with the best farming. This is going to be a cluster.... just like any open world content. Too many people wanting to do it and not enough space to do it in.

So now we're just making up hypothetical problems?

Big FC's will dominate because 40 people working towards something is more efficient than 5 people working towards something. It's not because you're a misrepresented demographic, it's because math exists.

I'm talking about FC workshops. I was very disappointed to read the following:


So, even though there isn't enough housing for folks to have a house, let alone a crafting workshop, even though there are many FC's without even the required number of members, SE expands the feature to provide even more content for this exclusive club.

Please stop releasing and then expanding on content that is deliberately excluding paying subscribers.

They should freeze ALL DEVELOPMENT of any features for housing until they find a way to make it so every single player that wants a house for their character has a reasonably achievable pathway to get it.

That issue needs to be solved first. Then go on to expanding what housing has to offer.

In FFXIV and EQ2, every toon gets a house, by a pretty low level in both cases. Your own personal instance you can invite anyone into. Here we have instanced neighborhoods. They need to just hook up a way to spin off an unlimited number of those instances - a new virtual server full of them everytime the last one fills up. In 2015 - tech and code exists for spinning out things like that.

So... having a merry jaunt through the thread and the general gist I've gotten from OP and people in support of OP is this:

I'm playing and MMO and I should be able to do everything solo, including party content. Anything that caters to FCs and large communities of players is ignoring your other paying subscribers. More importantly, it's ignoring me. Me. Me me me, me me, me. Pay attention to ME.

Nice. Super classy. Please, tell us more about how life is just SO UNFAIR because you can't push one button and get everything you want.

If you are going to offer solutions, actually offer one that isn't completely ridiculous. Please.

Actually what i took away from the OP is that there is apparently an FC discount that allows us not to pay monthly and i was somehow unaware of this, i think that's a much larger issue and needs to be addressed in this thread.

At least the npcs all want to be their friend

Another thing is very small FC'c who at times don't have 4 people to progress the airship. They really need to drop that to two.
