I'm not saying I understand the mentality of wanting to be only DoH or DoL, I'm just saying I can sympathize. They bought a product as it was advertised and it no longer fulfills that roll. Yoshida just officially retracted that statement so that means those people no longer get to play the game they bought.
Really this should be a new thread... lol but anyways...

you're right like I said before on this thread before YoshiP's post I started this game since it was announced you can play the game not being a battle class, for me that reminded me of when SE made Romancing Saga 3 where one character your roll was to play the stock market and they had a whole different system up till certain point of the game story so when I heard about this for FF14, I was like COOL I'll play miner...

But since then the gatherers mini-game was boring so I quit that but still was hoping there is a chance that this will be fixed later on but today with YoshiP's post it confirmed it's not possible to pursue the main story or have a story of its own being a miner. That's alright for me cuz I got level 50 Puglist and I knew it was probably going to end up this way in the long run being a MMORPG. At least for me I can understand what YoshiP is saying, it's really hard to make a story line possible for everyone in a MMORPG, specially if the game started off all screwed up like FFXIV did lol.

At least YoshiP is still trying to keep the game so gatherers/crafters can be played and they will try their best to make fun contents for them but as for the main story goes, it's goodbye... hey at least gatherer/crafters might have cool side-quests which is related to the main story and you have to be those classes to see that side of the story... to me that cool/good enough.

Now those few people/trolls on the JP thread saying you're going against what's on the package is just ridiculous lol, YoshiP apologized and took back the old teams statement and if the those gatherer only players still can't get it, they should really stop playing FFXIV imo.
