Producer live letter 1/12/16, lets discuss.

[Ashkendor]

For the jukebox: Most players are listening to music or other things outside the game, and if these are meant to stand in a single spot, how many players will stand next to them in order to listen to the music? And 20-30 new songs per patch? Really? Now I know that those working on those songs might not be able to do anything else in the game, but people will still need to be payed to get this done, that is money which could have gone somewhere else. I predict that most players will ignore this feature, dead on arrival.

My FC is looking forward to it actually. I'm planning to get one ASAP and for us to farm music for it together. We spend a lot of time in our FC house and I'm hoping that it lets you change the background music for the entire instance inside your house. ^^

The dummy: Seriously, this instead of letting people use a parcer? Seriously? I lack words for how much of a obvious waste of dev time this is. Is this one of the reason we get a mere 2 dungeons and 1 trial this time around again?

PS3/4 players can't use parsers at all, and many PC players don't use them either because they're against the ToU (even if there's kind of an unwritten "don't ask, don't tell" rule about them) or because they don't think they need one. People have been asking for an ingame parser for a long time, but the devs understandably have concerns about people using it in a discriminatory way if the numbers were visible to others. I for one am glad that they're trying to compromise.

This hall of the novice also seems like a waste of dev time, most players are long past that point in the game and those that could use this will most likely not, seeing as they don`t realize it themselves or just don`t care for maxing out their job.

You... haven't noticed the influx of new players recently after ARR was on the Humble Bundle twice? o.O

I know that I certainly have seen a massive amount of sprout players and new player bonuses lately.

For me this looks like a raider + pvper patch, sprinkled with some features that hardly anyone will bother with using.
Come on SE, do a pull, ask the player base what we want to see in the game, the result might surprise you and might make it possible to avoid wasting time on feature you think people want but that then gets ignored.

All of the items you've mentioned are things that have been asked for multiple times on the forums... >.>

Seems SE kinda forgot we had multi class systems and seem to think everyone plays just 1 main class, seems they forget with HW....Grind for alts has gone up by a huge margin, why do i need spent 30 days for 1 class weapon why i have 9-10 other classes....

Anima doesn't take anywhere near a month to finish. I'm on my second one just doing daily roulettes, beast tribe quests, some hunts, and a very small amount of Alexander farming when I actually feel like doing it.

I feel like people are just going about it all wrong.
