My graditude. Please show yours <Calling all devs!>

[Aion]

Sure I do. I say, 'Thanks for breaking my shit."

Your posts are pretty much you being sad about stuff. Say it with me, "Whaa, I'm sad about stuff."

There, now don't you feel better?

Did the devs who make this game broken? or the executives(or whoever that said the game is ok to launched)? I thanked to devs, not to them who brings this game to its broken state. The ones who fixing this game is a new team (even there old personnel there).

THIS THIS AND THIS ^^^^^ Im glad some people can see it for what it really is in this mostly blind and carebare community. Its just that fanboys are ...well....fanboys and there's nothing you can do or say to convince them to look at things objectively and logically - kind of like the republican tea party. It could also be devs posting on alts - im sure that happens occasionally. The game is free to play for a reason - you can bet your ass they will start charging you when think their own game is worth a dime - and they still don't - so what does that say?

Gotta love it when someone just says something positive they are labeled a fan boy. Yes... I said thank you (thank you for taking time to attempt to make right your mistake) as well, but I am also not a fan boy. I like games in general. I'm not like "OMG FFXIV are the 1337sauce!". I haven't played in a couple months, but I still have hope.

There is no convincing involved or needed, atleast for most. Most of us actually have patience and enjoy what's been given.

Heaven forbid someone says hi or boo on here and someone has a conniption.



Sarcasm:
Also... why is it always fan boy? Why can't it be fan girl? ...oh wait... 'gamer girls don't exist' >.> psh...

@Travesty LOL its their job to defend the country..... Yet we say thank you to them all the time..... Everyone has orders... gosh....... Its their JOB to FOLLOW THEM. Their job is never done... try again thank you.

I seriously can't believe you're actually trying to make this crap analogy work. The troops are not producing a product for people to buy. They're putting their lives on the line. Don't keep trying with this analogy, it's pathetic.

[Rokien]

You could say they are producing freedom, or protecting it. It was their choice to put their lives on the line, I for one don't think war isn't necessary for anything, but that's just me. Its a job. Jobs are jobs in one form or another, whether your being payed or not. People work harder if they are praised, just a simple fact.

Producing freedom. Wow.

I'm done trying to show you why this analogy is dumb. You're doing a fine job of that.

People get lazy if they're praised excessively, just a simple fact.

[Rokien]

Naa studies have shown that people do work harder. I know I do, so there for its a fact for me.


FACT

[OMEGA_HACK]

More praise = more higher ups watching = having to maintain that A+ standard.

Empty praise on the other hand is what I believe you are trying to convey Travesty. Because if you don't get any kind of reward for the praise or the thank you is half-ass and not believable then the person will feel unmotivated to perform well because in truth their "thankee" doesn't really care.

But we care and therefore the praise is not empty, in fact its far from it!

[Chain]

It's about the game.

It's relevant.

These guys are working their asses off to bring us quality entertainment, we should be grateful to them and let them know we appreciate all their hard work.

I know where you're coming from but I think you're kinda misled with that kind of thinking. They are working their butts off to try to save this game so that square can bank on it, NOT so much for our personal enjoyment as you may wish to think, same goes for any MMO I guess. These games are not for us, they are developed to line the pockets of already filthy rich men.

With that said, ya I still play and have shelled out alot of my hard earned money to do so in other games as well as XI. I try to distance myself from thinking they give a damn about the customer base other than keeping it addictive enough to keep your money rolling in.

I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who's forum name is negative in itself.

If people were to followyour idea of 'who deserves praise' no one would thank anyone, and the world would be a much worse place because of it.

Fair enough. Do you thank a band for making music/songs? Many people do.

Also remember the charity donations SE did with crysta not too long ago, not everything is to save face and make cash roll in. Some of the developers, like Yoshi, actually care about the players, if they didn't care would they spend so many long hours trying to fix the game? They could have just shut it all down and said "Just pretend you didn't see that."
