What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

If this game respected your time it wouldn't kill off jobs people have invested years in. And I don't know who told you what about Lost Ark, but it's actually less commitment than 14 after the initial hurdle.

Correct. Before SE decided to remove Kaiten, I think they never outright removed important abilities to the overall job structure. Now, they show you how much they respect your time (sorry this saying is just hilarious lmao) by taking away all the time you've put into your rotation. All the fond days of leveling your job with said ability only for them to swoop in and take it away from you.

I cannot describe how much I hate this respect your time bullshit saying. You are still playing a game digitally and wasting houndreds if not thousands of hours on 'something' with no return. Except now, your brain isn't being used for anything. What's being respected is that you guys are losers to them and they can brush off feedback since you like to invade our spaces and stiffle the discussion about their misconduct.

This "respect player's time" and yoshi saying to unsub and play other games is pretty disingenuous. If this was actually the case, there wouldn't be so many timegates and lockouts keeping you from doing things.
Takes months to get geared from a Savage tier because of how gated their drops are, even if you don't get a drop you're locked from the week.
Alliance raids do it too and their gear isn't even the best.
Hell it takes like 2 months to complete the very end of the Nier quest for basically no reason, and honestly the entire housing system seems dedicated on keeping you resubbing so your house doesn't get destroyed while your "time is being respected", with the punishment being you have to go through the entire horrendous process of buying a house again, which is funny enough, now time gated again with 9 day cycles.

But yeah your time is being respected.

Five words:

Ah. Of course. I worked my ass off for a small house in Kugane only for them to take it away from me in a month because I didn't feel like subscribing. Respect your time my ass. Go play other games and come back to an empty plot. Hypocrisy at its finest.
