Yoshida telling players to go play other games is very damaging to FFXIV

[SamsaraTrickstar]

The housing excuse vs casual gameplay is not really valid;

Originally housing was not meant to be for individual players but for FCs, so if a specific player wasn't on, as long as someone else was the house is fine. The only reason we have personal housing is because the devs caved to player wishes.

So, yes, while that is on the devs, the player base has to accept responsibility for this. We wanted this, so we have to accept the consequences, even if the devs are ultimately at fault for what I'd say was a bad call.

What are you even talking about? Or did you not read the whole thing?

I guess I’ll give the to;dr version?

…housing encourages you to keep paying regardless of if you're playing or not.

>This situation only exists because the devs caved to player wishes
>Housing is not required for casual play (or any level of play)

At what point did I say housing was free? Or was that your misunderstanding?
