Yoshi-P: Flippant dismissal of player criticism is a poor look for a lead developer.

[Deveryn]

Could you cite your sources on this?

I've made multiple well researched, written and concise feedback posts and threads, some of which are pushing 200 likes.

None of them have ever so much as been acknowledged and certainly not acted upon to my understanding, and I'm certainly not the only one here.

You got a post with 200 likes... That might sound like a lot for the number of people that show up here, but it's a drop in the bucket of the whole playerbase. I think you need to push the thousands to properly get noticed.

Moving on...

To even call the glamour dresser a broken system is incorrect. It's one of a few storage systems in game. It wasn't intended / anticipated to be used this much. If they keep adding and adding, there will come a point where it will negatively impact play. They had to make it so you could only use this system on your own, isolated from everyone else. That should be a major clue about how one can't just keep adding on. It's not broken just because it doesn't serve your "needs". It will be broken if they push it too far.

The official forum is the place where feedback given is supposed to be read by the devs whether it is liked or not.

Thread: New Hrothgar Hairstyles are really bad has 168 likes in General discussion which is the most frequently visited sub-forum and there was a reply from a Community Rep

A summary of healer issues is a 2-year-old thread that has well over 200 likes in a much smaller sub-forum: Healer Roles. Yet to be addressed by a Live Letter or even a comment from a Community Rep.

Healer complaints have not been left unaddressed because of a lack of likes

It's easier to translate and relay something like a hairstyle issue.

When you're talking about jobs, people actually need to get their shit together and in a way that the devs can read and understand. It's been said again and again that putting together clear concise info in Japanese is the best way to communicate to them. You're expecting the community rep to do all the translating. I know I wouldn't want to touch that and having something lost in translation. On top of that, there's so much extra garbage to sift through in those threads, with all the belligerent folk fiercely clinging to the past.

This is where you need the numbers supporting an issue. 200 healers being unhappy with the game is not enough to change everything for all the thousands upon thousands that might actually be happy with the job. Healers and their concerns were definitely addressed prior to EW launch. That may not be what this small group wanted, but it was clear they were listening to feedback and the content has definitely been giving healers more to do.

I tried to read through that healer post (probably not the first time). It's all over the damn place and too much at once. It's incorrect to call it a summary.

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and your posts are embarrassing to read.

Just because my name starts with Dev it doesn't mean I am concerned with your feedback, but hey you get that quick response you want while being belligerent and adding nothing to the convo. Congrats!

You sure seem to think you are with the amount of bootriding for the devs you do in here! Try to post in reality with the rest of us sometime!

Threads in General are filled with more of that yet they get a response.

The return of Kaiten is not too hard to translate. Has anyone responded to this: Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal

What's the excuse this time?

I apparently know nothing, so figure out the reason on your own.

I've said plenty and more on feedback and all. At the end of the day, I'm not the one fussing, struggling and crying over changes I can't seem to get, so I'll be over here enjoying the game in relative peace.

Ok, and care to cite them?

Meanwhile, my source: these forums

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-Chocobo-Boots

83 likes, it got a response because A) it was common sense B) regarding what was probably a bit of an oversight C) Ultimate low hanging fruit that could be implemented quickly and easily.

The most likes I can remember seeing on a first post within these boards is ~270 FYI. Thousands just isn't happening, that's not a benchmark to go by because it's doubtful any post is going to get there.

It always seemed strange to me that it was ever allowed to be used as a storage system at all TBH. It just makes more sense to me to have an additional integer array per expansion on each character to flag up any bound items that have been held allowing that to be used to flag items up as available to be used in the glamour dresser rather than us simply dropping items in there.

My best guess as to why they didn't do that is that in it's original inception, it'd reduce the pressure on players limited inventory space particularly for those with a large number of jobs levelled. No need to cling onto obscure dungeon sets for glamour use if you can equip and then chuck them in the bin. Of course now a few years down the line, they are basically doing just that with another dresser expansion
