Whats going on with SE ?

[Vstarstruck]

No I think I nailed it pretty well... you say you love this game (despite unsubbing) yet all you do is complain about EVERY little thing... your solution? Port in as much ff11 as possible... you don't love this game... you love ff11 and are pissed that 14 isn't a updated version of 11... you can say you love 14 all you want but everything you say points to disdain for 14 because it's not 11

again wrong, I pulled FFXI as well due to mog station and this app being too cash grabby. Also that post had nothing to do with FFXI, I even explained why. Stop twisting my words.

You made a thread basically mocking people who commented pulling their sub. That is not how you treat people.

Look at this post:

Full stop.

I've played a bunch of different games, most as a healer. None of these games have ever done what you are saying SE has failed to do, because why on earth would you change how a class/job is supposed to work fundamentally? Every single game I've played, a healer heals, from level 1 to max. A few of those games, the healers had literally 0 attack spells. If anything, FFXIV is one of the more variable ones because you spend more time DPSing than healing, depending on the fight.

The other points you brought up make me wonder if you are playing the right genre of game. MMOs have always been lower difficulty curve because anything too difficult alienates the masses (IE: the people that don't want to raid, that probably don't do raids), is about false scarcity and, above all, being social. Funny enough, the things you pointed out that are very successful are exactly the things you want to drive away: things with no difficulty, appeals to both the casual player as the hardcore and is meant to be social activities. There is a reason Balmung is the only limited server anymore; it is "the" social and role-playing hotspot for a large quantity of players.

FFXIV does not need to encompass all tastes. My husband and I both play other games that are harder. Key words: other games.

My reply:

Really? How can anyone see this as logic? Are you really trying to be serious? Since you want to talk about healing, you don't see what wow or FFXI did to change it? Though for ffxi, it might of been a bit more untended but when SCH came out, what you did as WHM/SCH vs the others was def fundamentally different, and WHM/BLM still had some merit with elemental seal and conserve mp trait say if you needed a repose to land as back up, with escape and later warp II. With breaking level 75, a WHM/RDM (less ideal) combo could support with refresh. So even within the same patch, healing changed how you did it based on main job and sub job, this includes blu, dnc, rdm, sch (main) and even backup healing from brd. FFXIV had nothing near this, and the only "change" healing got in ffxiv was gutting it and making it more limiting (gutting stoneskin, making protect and esuna role action, so forth) Wow ofc revamps complete systems semi regularly. being predicable is boring, I can't believe there is 2 people that tried to defend this now. [Also the extreme gutting and nerfs SCH had to deal with in ffxiv for 4.0]

Has nothing to do with changing FFXIV to be FFXI. Also to prove such a point further, People said eureka was "like ffxi" and liked it because it "reminded them of ffxi" I do admit the references was nice, but it does not change my judgement of analyzing it for what it is, the game play there, what you do, and was over all bad. Also FFXI was not the only game referenced.

This is not White knight abuse, in your own words is being blunt and telling the truth. and like many other times it's the aspect of this type of business.

Aspect of business is taking advantage of people? last I checked the word "scam" fit such things. There is a fine line of blatantly ripping people off and doing business. Just because my methods differ from your, does not make your any better or mine any worse. You just hate what I am doing because it is different from your style. I am full boycotting SE till they shape up, I will not partake in any form of them shifting from making good games to being cash grabby with DLC. I do not need send them videos of burning disks or whatever.

This is not overdrama, this is me being flat out 100% serious. Also they do not give surveys... they just give you a checkbox out of like 7 things when you unsub, all unfitting.. btw...
