[dev1002] CE/Veteran Title Request

[AreeyaJaidee]

Mission Success!

The rate of responses in this thread have steadily increased since this was posted on page 4 yesterday.

Snowball effect in progress.

You know Areeya, you should be thanking me, Vedis and Syntax in an ironic way. If we hadn't posted our controversial responses you wouldn't have a justifiable reason to bump this rate twice as fast as yesterday when you were resorting to: Bump /char threads.

I'm going to attempt to benefit from this by plugging my own thread here.

Keep at it, everyone. The forum mods love this! *huggles*

Well at the moment I'm brainstorming some more Titles in support of the OP! Suggestions are welcome


Aww i love you guys too
Thanks for the bump(s) for which I did not request :3

I don't know how to multi-quote, but on 1st or 2nd page OP refferes to age of account, therefore when you started playing.
If you only read the original OP without the subsequent data, you would have missed that info.

Since I didn't mention where it's coming from I will not apologize to you.

This really isn't a big deal that OP is asking, but there seems to be a lot of negative feedback on it. Whatever SE decides to do, i'll be fine with it.

Yoshi already had something to say on this months ago, so it was decided already, some people just dont want to take that as the answer and keep asking for more


For those who dont know what was said, pretty much its summed up as all the extras we are getting now that wont be in 2.0, along with the events that are on a patch by patch basis(invasions, kidnappings etc) are the veteran rewards thatl show up in your lodestone achievments if you were on to do them

Actually.
In the opening post he asks for a title for those who started on CE (which is BS 'cause before that were open beta testers, before that alpha testers; if we are going to break things into tiers why only reward the last one to play who didn't even have to file reports?)
Afterwards, he goes and adds to that they could give the title based on how many hours you played (great, a reward that supports making the server load heavier as people will go to sleep leaving their character on in order to achieve it).

Post release the client and server had the same issues as Beta but not Alpha. A lot of us did submit reports and trouble tickets.

Did you just compare being requested to file in reports in an alpha bugged filled unstable game bound by a confidentiality agreement with submitting a bug report?

Also, back in alpha even the report submit thingy was bugged...

Nope :3 I didn't, I said CE and SE release players had the same bugs post release as Beta had but NOT the same as Alpha.

It's common knowledge to ppl who played then because the majority of us were disappointed that the game hadn't progressed going from Beta to Release.

I also stated we filed bug reports for the problems as well.

<--gives Majidah a ball of yarn

It's really a no-brainer, only the op basically says "gimme gimme gimme" and "you don't agree with me so BAM! ignorez".

I was at work all day and never had a chance to respond. Ugh. So...

AreeyaJaidee: In the OP, you suggested a title for people who have been 'playing since the beginning' with either collector's edition or without.

Can we assume that the majority of the player base (RIGHT NOW) are people that began at the beginning? After the terrible reviews hit soon after launch, not many people found interest in this game. That's why they made it 'free to play' for a while. This may be changing (steadily) now, but we won't see a HUGE jump in active players until 2.0. Don't get me wrong... I love the game, but that's besides the point.

So, your title suggestion would basically be given to the majority of us... for, as someone else said, doing nothing... I have been playing frequently enough, but I have a friend who has only played a handful of times since launch (despite having the CE). Do we both deserve the 'Veteran' title?

Now, in response to that post asking if you want 'something for nothing', you defended yourself by saying "I'm always doing something in FFXIV every time I log in," more or less solidifying the point that YOU are active... which I'm sure you are. You became defensive even though YOU are very clearly active (as is indicated by your level 50 class attached to your forum avatar...)

When I made a post suggesting that titles be harder to earn (so that only people who REALLY spent the time playing and exploring the lore etc would receive it), you shot it down... even though it is an EXCLUSIVE title I'm sure YOU would earn too. So why did you shoot my idea down if you would be one of the people to have it?

All I'm seeing in this thread is unnecessary arguments. Basically, if someone agrees with you... great! If they don't, you start flinging insults punctuated by the passive-aggressive 'huggles' at the very end. I don't understand it. Are you seriously offended when people have a different opinion than you? Perhaps you shouldn't start controversial threads if you don't like hearing other people's opinions? Like I said before... everyone's entitled to them and you should be a bit more respectful of that.

Most people in the XIV community are very friendly. There are a few oddballs out there, but don't start saying this community is 'so endearing' when YOU are the one that is being aggressive here. We're just trying to have a discussion and you're derailing your own thread with your unnecessary passive aggression.
