FFXIV Needs Player Polls

[van_arn]

The forums will always be a war zone, but there is some truth to some of the feedback here. It just gets lost in the chaos sometimes. The poll doesn't have to take place here though. Nothing bad could come of a player poll every so often, so I have no idea why you're truly against them no matter where they'd decide to post one.

Oh, I'm not against them. I just find them theater-- done only for show, for no real purpose other than to look nice.

Heck, even if they went as far as to post a daily question ingame for a gil reward... well, think of the current state of the uselessness of commendations.

Fair enough. At this point though I'd settle with the illusion that they care.

I agree, they really need to do in game surveys, Korean developers do it even though they rarely listen and they also offer some kind of little item when you complete them.

I see you've been around since 2013.

I gesture to Praetorium.

And then I gesture to PVP.

And then I genuflect in the direction of the current state of savage/extreme PF.


Once something's out the door, Square doesn't care what happens to it. As for what Square decides to push out the door, I offer a grand flourish to Eureka.

I know. I wish they'd get their act together. 2.0 launch was amazing, but the more time passes and the more I see them fail to keep their "house" in order, the more I think they've lost their touch.

I still enjoy the game, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But I do hope that they do clean things up and show us what I know they're capable of someday.

Same. I'm mainly holding out to see what they intend for 5.0. We're overdue for a Cataclysm-style rework of old content, both so new players don't need to suffer through what-- 500 mindless quests before they matter, and older players don't need to suffer through haphazardly-nerfed content that no longer has the teeth necessary to teach anyone anything.

I can't say my hopes are within realm of possibility for Square, though. Praetorium alone has shown they are utterly incapable reworking old content in such a way that it fixes the root cause of player concerns.

In short, FFXIV has a hoarding problem. It needs to learn when it's time to throw something away.

The people in forums consist of a very small minority of the playerbase. Should such a minority dictate the course of the game's development to the large majority? I say no.

[EDIT]

What we'll have would be the tyranny of the minority, where a very small minority put their self-interests ahead of the vast majority. I wish I can say I trust people on the Internet to have a broad outlook on the situation and propose changes to the benefit of the entire playerbase. However, what is far more likely is the minority imposing their selfish desires over the rest.
