Only way to make our voice heard over housing is

[Radial]

If the only content you're interested in, in this gameis housing, then yes, you should probably cancel your subscribtion.
But I think most of us still do other kind of content and have other reason to play FFXIV.

So yes, this is frustrating as hell to see such a situation like this to housing.
But forcing yourself to quit a game you still like to "threaten" the dev team is somehow contradictory.

"threaten" devs.... really? how do you think we fixed 1.0? by being scared of "threatening" the devs? its not a threat this a business and the only option we have to display dissatisfaction is withholding money. This attitude is why every industry is going to shit, consumers treat business like friends not mindless corporations.

I concur. SE has made an error (repeatedly) that affects thousands of players across all the servers, and should either rectify the situation or face the consequences. This isn't a faulty launch. This isn't a janky raid. This isn't strange mechanics. It's a deliberate and permanent exclusion of the majority of the player base, and I do not accept it.

Uhhh....No? 1.0 was just terrible in general. It got horrible reviews and an extremely low population player base. Even if there were no complaints they still would have "nuked" 1.0 just because of how bad it was doing.

I'd hate to point this out, but i';m going to. The ONLY reason SE listened in regards to 1.0 was the massive amount of people cancelling their subs almost instantly. The producer at that time had the mindset of "They will learn to love what I make!" and he has ALWAYS had that mindset... SE stepped in once they noticed tens of thousands of people dropping subs. When that happen SE looks into the PLAYER COMPLAINTS for answers. I was one of those beta/day 1 people. I know what happened. Just be sure to look at things carefully.

SE knows they can't make these massive mistakes again... threaten to cancel the subs is the way to go...

Also, just a little FYI. Gaming sites are reporting on how HORRIBLY SE is handling their patches and the housing situation in general.
