TBH if they are implementing a priority que system.....they might as well make it Legacy player's > Normal player's > Free trial.

Except that Legacy and Non-Legacy are both paying the same sub. Hence the distinction break down the devs made between paying customer and non-paying customer.

Breaking it down any further in my opinion wouldn't be a valid idea and just be a trigger for resentment, even if it wouldn't honestly change much. There aren't THAT many legacy players that it would make a gigantic impact.

Right, they are paying the same sub. While Legacy is 5$ cheaper they are the ones who kept supporting FFXIV 1.0 while it was garbage. Everyone else left then came back later in 2.0+. If anything, Legacy player's "should" have a priority queue. It won't happen though.

Legacy players have received more than they "deserve". You deserve to pay less and also get queue priority? Please. You aren't special. Get over yourself. Woopdee-doo, you kept paying money for a bad game. What a hero.

Am a legacy from 1.0. I do not want a priority queue for myself, it would only make me a pariah when ppl can't get in. I only advocate for a smooth entry queue that doesn't boot me anywhere from 0-12 times in my 4 hour journey to enter. If i know I don't have to keep an eye on it, I can easily do other things while I wait.

Supporting a game when it's garbage isn't a good thing. It's the players who didn't support 1.0 because it was garbage who forced SE to completely remake the game and create a success.

Well really it's the FFXI subscribers that should get priority because they saved S-E after the Spirits Within financial disaster and then bank-rolled 1.0/ARR.

Actually maybe S-E should give free access to FFXI whilst you're queuing and swap you over when you can log in.

1.0 is a somewhat different case compared to other games' failures. It was objectively a mess. No amount of plausible subs for the game it was would have changed that. Those of us who did stick with the game often didn't play it too much and ALWAYS rightfully complained. I mean it was complete garbage just from a playability stance, even if the rest of it had potential. Persevering through the shit you're given is an old school MMO mentality that, while that perspective was on a massive decline, was still notably present.

Yoshi-P took over not too long after, which if I recall correctly, the ability to finally play "properly" was finally achieved following. No longer did we have to sit through massive UI lag with literally everything we did. It was still a mess, but it was a playable mess. It had content to satisfy us shit dredgers. It's important to not pretend that it's not like they didn't create content for the game. Anyone could see though that it was not going to last much longer. Which is when they started the community discussions between Yoshi-P and the devs with players. It was little things being done that sparked hope that kept us there, which is then when the 2.0 rumors and announcements came.

As a legacy player, I find such a thing as unnecessary. If I wanted to flaunt entitlement, it wouldn't be any of the in game vanity or some petty jump in the queue. It'd be the fact I pay only 2/3 the sub fee for the rest of the games life that others pay in full for.

It's not about entitlement at all. It's about taking care of the players who supported them since the beginning when it was rough. The reduced monthly rate is great. A priority queue is nothing to fathom out the mouth about. The amount of legacy players spread across all servers is most likely very, very miniscule.

Regardless, it's fine.

Well what kind of passive-aggressive adolescent person do we have here.

Wrong. The game being garbage in general was what forced them to fire the current head and replace them with Yoshi who re-made the game. This was realized even with people still playing the game and supporting it. Not the people who left.

It wasn't passive aggressive, it was aggressive aggressive. You still crying because non-legacy players got a goobue mount? I can't believe there are still legacy snobs thinking they're the greatest thing on earth and deserve special treatment.

Post a thread about the legacy mark and see what happens.
