Why I'm mad at Final Fantasy 14 (rant)

[giwaman]

I love it.

Can't say I disagree with the OP post, but what's worse is that it'll be most likely be considered troll because "I like the game, you hate the game: therefore you're a troll" mentality that's pretty much all over the place.

I once said something that it pretty much boils down to what I would say again so I'll post it here because I'm tired, it's 5 am and wanted some chuckles before sleeping.

And this is why this game will eventually fail: not only they don't get any of our feedback straight - if receive any at all that is - but the player base will actively punish these players if they express any their own opinion, as if they're afraid of changes or they're trolls or something.

I can't count the times where I got bashed heavily, called stupid, sometimes even mentally disabled (Yep, I was called that because I disagreed something about the community) for simply comments about many questionable features (glamour prisms, fc rooms, housing, the list is full) and I remember an old friend getting the bashing too for his concerns about the HW story blockade debacle too, telling me that he got even permanently banned from the forums - but whether this is true or not I cannot say, I haven't spoken with this friend in years.

I think the best words to describe this situation, is just to "let it go": it is clear that SE has no intention to change its patching cycle, as they will add failure upon failure in they attempt to make us "look forward to new exciting content", while having the total protection of the hardcore fanbase who will defend even the most horrible and pathetic content features for the sake of nostalgia.
I loved the game despite its flaws, I supported it for 4 years - with this being my second most played mmorpg I have, second to WoW only - and I enjoyed some story bits of it - not a fan of the MSQ but I really enjoyed the job quests, especially ARR ones - but since my words WILL be considered a threat and most likely be called out a troll or hater, I just decided to talk with my wallet instead and bring my money to other games, because there's no possible way to have a polite conversation if you disagree with anything that the devs or the playerbase say.

TBH, the only thing I feel annoyed by on a regular basis is constantly seeing the same players botting for years on end no matter how many times I report them.

The amount of bots just continues to swell as time goes on as more people start feeling pressured to resort to the same methods to stay competitive on the marketboard or just realize that there's almost zero risk to doing it in the first place.

The infusion/food markets on Cactaur are basically just a constant price war between multiple bot farmers and the prices have tanked so badly because of them that it scarcely seems worth trying to sell for profit as a legit player anymore.

Social interactions make the game fun, whatever game you play ^^

If you took all that effort about your complaints into this game, and why you don't like them you might be able to find something else you do like a lot more.

This seems... I dunno. Kind of petty?
(The “I hate that x” part.)

OP should just take a break and go back to WoW for a bit.

Lightning's real name is Claire...

*Eclair, was changed in America since it sounded like a pastry.

Darn Americans and our love of cream-filled donuts.
