(Sigh) Customers...

[Kleeya]

Currently i am in holydays and i dont thank some people to remember me of what i will sometimes encounter again when i will get back to work.

This early access is going quite well. A little wait at the connection ? Just do something else, it doesn't take that long. A quest that isn't working ? FF14 is the one MMO i have seen with the most varied content. Hunts to make your mount goes even faster, helping newbies that are currently overflowing, exploring the new maps, testing the two new classes, etc, etc, etc, there is so much to do when you see that a quest isn't working. When i see people saying that they have right-clicked Raubahn ten hours long, it remembers me of those spamming the F5 refresh when a website isn't working, thus aggravating the problem.

I mean, it isn't like you are on a shitty f2p mmo where there is really nothing to do apart from rushing the max lvl, and where it does take whole months, even years, to fix a problem. If you think that FF14 is that bad, go try Fiesta Online, i dare you.

So, one would think that people would stay calm even if there are some issues. Instead some are overeacting like it is the end of their lives, and that there is no bigger problem in the world. It makes me remember of these numerous customers i see at work, who are buying a shitty thing at the price of 1.99 euros made by a desesperate chinese slave at the end of the world, and are like "WWHHHHHAAAATTTTT there is a little scratch on it, how can't the chinese slave do his work properly ? He should be fired, and you who give me this should be fired too, and i want to see your chief so that he will be fired too ! WWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IM AM NOT HAPPY !!!!!".

Someone did give me a satiric book on customers. While it is supposed to be an humoristic one, most of it is just 100% realist. Especialy these pages where it says that the customer want what he doesn't have irl : power and to be loved. In exchange in a few bucks he want to be aknowledged, to be the king he isn't in normal times, that people will do whatever he says, before going back to his monotonous routine where he is going to be nobody again.

Of course going by the "strong with the weak, weak with the strong" mentality, after he had gone wild on a random employee at Mac Donald because his fries weren't hot enough, he is gonna vote again for people who does way worst, declaring wars, stealing millions of euros from the normal people, always lying to be reelected, polluting the earth to no end, corrupted by lobbies and banksters, etc, like it is a normal thing to do. Go figure.

That's just plenty ridiculous.

SE team, dont let the very few negative players go to your head. From what i see ig, there is so much more people that are currently enjoying the extension instead of acting like the Earth is about to blow up.

This is nonsense. I didn't pay money for a new expansion to play the old expansion's content, and I'm not going to grind Palace of the Dead for days on end until they can fix the game I actually payed for. I shudder to think how you treat your customers.

"Excuse me, this burger I bought is rotten."

"So? Go eat the stuff you have in your fridge. God, you're so ENTITLED!"

How dare those thousands of people want to actually use a product they paid for?! Damn selfish brats.

I once went to a movie theatre for a movie I had booked a ticket for (pre-ordered) and they told me we could wait until 2 days from now to watch it because they messed up and didn't have it in their theatre or they could refund the ticket, you should be able to guess which choice literally every single person who had come to watch the movie went with

Well said.

I read that there was a huge bottleneck so I went to do something else. It wasn't rocket science.

Except some people are burned out on the other content.

I've got all pre-SB classes to 60, i can't stomach another POTD.
I grinded my classes gear to an appropriate ilvl. I can't stomach another stale dungeon.
I was levelling gathering and crafting to fill in the spots. It's not something i can do willy nilly.
I did the Gold Saucer grind during the event. I need a break from it.

All i really want to do is play the game and enjoy the story. And there's a large hurdle to get passed, and the people who put that hurdle there without the foresight of how many people would be participating (Which they mentioned numerous times, even locked servers over) keep telling me i should try again later because it's not their fault they made a game people want to play.

It's more like you heard a new burger joint was opening. You went there on opening day, and saw that there was a super long line, not that you received a rotten burger.

Now, it sucks we all paid to have early access and there have been problems. Some may argue the issues were foreseeable. Perhaps, they were and something went wrong that we aren't aware of.

All I know is Yoshida-san has apologized and has stated the developers are working to solve the problem. Shrill posts are not going to help the situation in any way. So, if you can't get through a bottleneck are you just going to keep clicking Rubahn or are you going to go do something else?

Why does every comparison on these forums become about food?

Because we can't serve with cold steel.

There is no game at all if I can't log in, what planet do you live on?
