We can't

Oh wait...

Yes, like me. I live an hour from Sac, and had no right to be raiding. Between the constant disconnects and being a full GCD behind everyone else. Post-relocation, I can double-weave and play my NIN with zero issues. Meanwhile, the NIN mains in my guild have resorted to using tunneling services.

Feel free to continue arguing though, it's fun to read.

I live in Maine and my ping barely changed at all. YMMV I suppose.

Yoshi P holds himself accountable as he's said in the past. If there's an issue with some of these requests then they should've planned an overhaul since 2.0.

I don't understand how people can find a way to defend this.

- Yoshi-P holding himself accountable isn't the same thing as him actually being at fault though. It's kind of like when retail workers apologize to you for something going wrong that's 1000% out of their control. Plus, publicly blaming your boss for a problem, even if it's his fault, is a good way to find yourself looking for a new job. Taking the blame is something you do when you're a gear in a clock--even if you're one of the bigger Yoshi-P shaped gears.

- Saying they should have planned for each and every request that could possibly arise after the launch of 2.0 is so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin. Apparently clairvoyance is something that the dev team is supposed to have. That or a time machine.

- It's not "defending", it's called being realistic. Wanting something bad enough isn't always going to get you what you desire. "Can't" and "no" are sometimes going to be the answers you get even if the request seems trivial or "easy" to you. Sometimes there's a legitimate reason for those answers whether you like it or not.

I mean, I would like to see a lot of those things listed in the OP, but to be honest, I'm more interested in new content than I am in QOL updates. The QOL stuff matters too, though. And they have been slowly rolling out some really nice changes, like the upcoming change to Beast Tribe and Venture currencies.

I dunno if its always a matter of 'can't ever' so much as it is a matter of 'we don't have the time/money to focus on those things right now'.

I never said anything was easy. Obviously rebuilding on a semi- dated system brings its quirks, but if they knew they couldn't why didn't they fix it. How many expansions does it take? Elaborate on what seems so outlandish in my original post. From my prospective we've been asking for some of these for a long time now.

I think at this point it is very clearly the majority of the player base asking for a glam log and multiple glam slots on an item. And theyve been asking for years.

Things take time and effort, true. But when there is a clear and overwhelming need in the community united for one thing.. Well yea, hearing "maybe we'll make it so you can 'save one glam' is pretty disheartening.

I just want my healers able to wear their af gear :/

Think of it more as a labor/manpower control. It isn't what the game is capable of holding, it's whether the people making the game can make it in those time constraints without ruining their lives and actually produce anything of quality.

I don't understand how people can find a way to defend this. It's mind boggling.

Maybe because they've worked a day in their lives. Geez dude, talk about out of the universe expectations. You do realize the people making this game are human right?

Re-read the original post, please and thanks.
