February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[MachaYum]

Considering that you have 4x as many unrealistic expectations that includes "basically anything" than you do realistic expectations, you might be better off just tuning out come Feb 5th, and spare yourself a boatload of disappointment. You might instead want to reflect on why you play the game currently. If you want a different mmo so badly, then play another mmo.

When you title a thread, "February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread", you create an expectation that at the very least you will be the one to provide some of those. Instead, you used it as a front to voice various improvements you want with the game; effectively turning it into a wish thread. While I can't guarantee anything, I would put several months salary on the line in wager than none of your unrealistic expectations will make it into the Feb 5th announcement. I would wager even more that they never make it into the game at all.

When Yoshi says to bring high expectations come Feb 5th, I am pretty sure he is not talking to the pessimistic, debbie downer who is greatly dissatisfied with the current state of the game. He is talking to those who are actually excited to see what they've cooked up.

Okay, let me narrow down my expectations then:
- Character creator improvement
- graphics update
- new healer
- Better beards for males

Only one of those is most likely going to be fulfilled. And that’s the healer job. Why does it have to be that way? Why can’t we at least have a better character creator? Am I wrong in wanting something better for the game? Am I wrong for having expectations? It just gets depressing and tiring that 98% of the things people ask for “can’t be done” due to some generic response like “server limitations”. It just gets tiring. That is why Yoshi’s statement “feel free to have high expectations” irks me. And until Blue Protocol comes out, I’m unfortunately stuck with FFXIV.
