Is no one happy?

[LianaThorne]

This thread has a very...."If you have a reason to complain, why do you still play the game?" vibe.

Has it ever crossed the minds of anyone saying that, that you can like something and also want it to get better at the same time?

I would absolutely love to see a change to housing, how blacklisting works, more games added to the Gold Saucer, more glamour options that aren't just bulky armor for tanks...I can go on for a while. I have a list of things I'd like to see changed but will it make me stop playing? Absolutely not. Because why would I stop playing over stuff like that? I can enjoy the various other aspects of the game that keep me subbed while also pushing for improvement on the areas I find lacking. It doesn't ruin my experience or make things less fun for me, nor should I be told to just play something else because I have complaints. Nothing improves if you just sit on your hands and pretend it doesn't exist.

Between the msq continually worsening as it tries to pander to streamers and Twitter users who will make it trend, jobs no longer requiring an IQ over 50 to play across the board except the devs' favorites (blm, drg, pld), housing and glamour "fixes" amounting to next to nothing, content being delayed without seeing a noticeable increase in either quality or quantity, and them telling us not to get our hopes up for the content they themselves hyped up the most... no. I'm not all that happy to be honest.

Ok first off it's clear you have a hate bones for streamers. Sorry but that's probably one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen. The msq is getting worse because they want to pander to streamers and Twitch? Like...wut?

Jobs have never been so complex that folks just couldn't use them so that's also off there. And frankly if we WERE t go by your list Pld isn't hard to use nor is drg. I'd put Monk there in it's place personally.

You say housing fixes amount to nothing yet I'll be one to say I'm VERY glad I don't have to spam placards for days on end. Huge win in my books especially seeing as I'm not up against bots auto clicking now.

Content being delayed yet you see no increase in quality or quantity. When was it ever said we'd be getting more than what's already been layer out? And what piece of content has come out buggy recently? Hell the most recent alliance raid has been pretty much praised by all.

I also see no issues with them telling folks to temper their expectations with things like the Island Sanctuary. They didn't overhype that mode, the playerbase did so let's not try to shift that falsely here. The moment it drops and it's not instanced housing yall will be flooding these threads complaining because you didn't do as the devs asked.

I've said it before n I'll say it again, if you aren't happy and speaking on here ain't doing much speak with your wallet n take your money elsewhere

So we started an FC, and we are genuinly happy and excited to play the game.

On forums it's all doom and gloom. We are having fun. Why doesn't the ffxiv forum community reflect that.

Overall, this is a great expansion. Came back did ARR, so much better, do the rest.

It's a game, have fun. I love you all!

As a general rule of thumb, the people who come to the forums tend to have some specific gripe. If you don't have something to complain about, you stay in game(unless you're in a place you can't play currently... but that's the exception not the rule)

So most of what you hear here is people talking about their one or two specific gripes. But the fact that people care enough to post means they MOSTLY like the game still, they're just - most of the time anyways - exaggerating their complaint to an extreme to make it sound more actionable.

So much this. If you actually care about something then you make an effort to communicate what your issues with it are and either you attempt to improve where the faults lie, or you attempt to come to terms with it.

If people decided that they should just quit because there's no point in trying to discuss anything then literally no one would be playing.

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.

I just wish people would stop exaggerating so much and stay civilized while discussing. Since people love to point fingers, are passive aggressive and do not like to hear different opinions, I loose interest so fast that I even do no longer follow threads I was invested in. Discussions also tend to spiral around the same few arguments without any progress because of those things, which does not help the discussion either.

I think you’ll find that a lot of people who use forums are also perpetually online or use the game in question as a source of meaning instead of entertainment, something that no game can fulfill

[Mapleine]

I just want real dungeons, other than that Im fine. the MSQ is in a good direction, the content spread otherwise looks OK, I just want real dungeon content.

Oh and lower end healer gameplay to be fixed. Dear god.

Never go to an official forum for an MMO if you want good vibes, they're all irritation dumping grounds, we all just come here when we're like "THATS IT, I gotta rant for a bit"

What part of that wasn't clear? They pumped the story full of shallow emotional moments with a bit of sad music and fluff slice of life knowing they'll get the streamer crowd overreacting and pulling out the fake tears or "awwwwww he eat burgy!" to end up on Youtube clip compilations. They care more about trending on social media and making memes than telling a good story.

Jobs have never been so complex that folks just couldn't use them so that's also off there. And frankly if we WERE t go by your list Pld isn't hard to use nor is drg. I'd put Monk there in it's place personally.

You have no idea what I'm talking about and are clearly proud of it.

You say housing fixes amount to nothing yet I'll be one to say I'm VERY glad I don't have to spam placards for days on end. Huge win in my books especially seeing as I'm not up against bots auto clicking now.

Right, because that was the only problem.

Content being delayed yet you see no increase in quality or quantity. When was it ever said we'd be getting more than what's already been layer out?

At the very least it wouldn't be as disappointing if we were getting the same amount as content at the same quality as the previous expansion, not seeing decreases on both fronts.

And what piece of content has come out buggy recently? Hell the most recent alliance raid has been pretty much praised by all.

Alright, now I know you're trolling.

I also see no issues with them telling folks to temper their expectations with things like the Island Sanctuary. They didn't overhype that mode, the playerbase did so let's not try to shift that falsely here. The moment it drops and it's not instanced housing yall will be flooding these threads complaining because you didn't do as the devs asked.

Then why not at least be honest about what exactly it'll be before it drops? Why can't they do that?

I've said it before n I'll say it again, if you aren't happy and speaking on here ain't doing much speak with your wallet n take your money elsewhere

No thanks, I think I would like to be happy in this game again. "Well guess what, the devs AREN'T LISTENING" isn't the dunk you think it is.

'' I logged in one time then uninstalled ''.
Okay?
Wtf is the point of making a thread about that?

But I like that thread. It's agreeable.
