Letter to MR Yoshi: Why parses system is destroying the ffxiv world.

[Remedi]

While designers typically have different goals in mind and sometimes overlook things that crafty players find out, I think it's a bit arrogant to assume that they don't know how to play the game they have created.

Though some decisions indeed range from questionable ... to bat shit insane.
Then again, they are Japanese, some measure of insanity comes with the territory I guess. .

Eh I agree, I honestly don't think they are that clueless but I'm just going with the flow at this point

Although I can't find it in writing, I remember reading that SE's internal testers could not beat A3S or A4S without godmode.

They never said that outright, they simply told a bit about how their testing works and ppl have filled the gaps with what they wanted to hear
