Will we ever see a day when Square Enix apologizes for releasing too much content?

Feel free to unsub to FFxiv and play Lost Ark.
I'm fine with the quality and pace that SE is providing for FFxiv.

If I would not be fine, I would unsub and play something else

I don't get why folks have to be so pistol-whipped to say any kind of "criticism" is acceptable. I thought fans of the game were supposed to be the white knights!

Like, just as quickly as the criticizers point out how fans appear to defend the game, you guys appear just as quickly to shield the OP. It's getting seriously sad to see the forum littered with one person putting every single cynical thought about how much they hate this MMO into text format, having fun as they leave behind a wake of sizzling threads with people fighting each other, and still getting lauded for it like it's some heroic act.

No one cares but I'll say it anyway: OF is becoming boring and tedious to browse so I'll be taking my leave from this place. I can imagine the developers feeling the same.

What are you expecting to see in the of? Not asking this maliciously its just what other things are there to see in official forums other than questions and complaints.

I think the OP's requests are pretty reasonable. Been playing Lost Ark myself, it's quite fun.

Where was this from out of curiosity?

Sorry to jump back to this Lauront but that's taken from Yoshi's famous presentation about ARR at the Game Developers' Conference in 2013 where he explained about the hard lessons SE had taken with the failure of 1.0 and which guided ARR's development (that was still in advanced beta testing at the time). Players like to use slides from it in an ironic or even mocking way about perceived issues they may have with the game, especially in topics like this one.

Either way, sorry to derail the topic (as if it hadn't already long left the rails anyway!) but I noticed no one responded to your question so I thought I'd try and give some much needed credibility to this thread.

it's one of the dev teams slides about the lessons they "apparantly" learnt from 1.0.
I say apparrently because many would say they should really go back and take another look at them.

Many of the games problems exist becuase they ignore or contradict those "lessons"

[Theodric]

That third point, though...

Hah. Much like how Hrothgar have various issues that will 'maybe' be fixed in a future patch?

Running an MMORPG is like running a business....because it is a business.

If your leader is telling customers to stop giving them money, then he needs to be replaced.
