"I know nothing about what's actually involved in game dev, but I honestly believe my completely uneducated opinion on the difficulties of adding this things I threw at the wall with no ability to look at the underlying source code has any validity."I am just a lowly video game player, who "knows nothing about video game development" and I created these representations of ways to approach solutions on the fly with very little thought.
So if I can "come up" with ideas such as to add "Hard mode" and "Very Hard mode" and add these options to the menu, in a matter of seconds with very little thought, I can only imagine what the development team, who are experienced experts, could come up with, if they had as much of a burning passion for FFXIV as I do.
Actually let me respond to this properly.
Your logic. Is really really bad. Like really bad. Horrible in fact.
How?
1. I purposefully said that "I dont know anything" because I knew this would be the argument.
2. Do you take your car to a mechanic to change a flat tire?
I am an individual whom is very well rounded. I dont need to know how to melt metals, run automotive machinery, or the air compression ratio's of a combustion engine to even do more involved work on a motor vehicle beyond changing a flat tire. Such as replacing a starter, alternator, fuses, or even changing and trouble shooting relays. Simply understanding a car, and doing more than driving it and putting gas into it, you will gain a basic understanding of the vehicles functions.
This applies to every thing in life. Computer problems, health issues, financing, everything within someone immediate control, and yes even video games. In fact, I almost never rely on any form of service person. I do all my mechanical work, home repairs, health improvements. I literally had chronic back pain, and within less than 1 year without seeing a doctor or getting medical advice, I was able to address the issue.
I have played other games. I have played version 1.0. I know exactly what Square-Enix is capable of doing and what they arent capable of doing. In fact, I've even been impressed at times. To say "Square-Enix cant do that" just because they havent done it, doesnt mean they cant. Especially, and I stress, especially if its already been done.
So that means that almost no one here is allowed to voice opinion on this forum.
no, people can voice opinions until they say absurd crap like "i, who have never coded in my life, am saying that this coding issue is easy that the devs are lazy for not doing it", which is what op said. opinions are fine. pulling things out of where the sun doesn't shine isn't.
