We hope you continue to give us your feedback on your experiences in the world of FINAL FANTASY XIV!

I think its great that you folks are reverting the loot rules somewhat on the quicker side, but honestly, this whole thing could have been avoided if feedback was asked for before deciding to make the change, because the outcry began as early as when we learned of it from the Live Letter- but the change happened anyway. Ever since 4.3 went live, there predictably has been overwhelming negative feedback.


I hope this gets asked in the upcoming E3 Letter, but I still want to know the exact reason(s) why a decision was made to suddenly change the loot rules amongst the dev team with seemingly no chance to prevent it in the first place based on player feedback.
