Live Letter Thoughts

The player base should be a tough crowd to please.

Applied generally, this is a great philosophy for being miserable your entire life.
And for coming off as an entitled ass, which is perhaps equivalent.

So, no thanks. I'll keep my ready smile and easy laugh, instead.

News flash, this game is a product. I expect a quality product if I'm expected to pay for it. If SE wants to drop the subscription, I'll start expecting lower quality. However, considering that I have to pay $15 a month to play the game, I demand that the game be a quality product.

In addition, having the opposite mentality is the key to a miserable life. When you settle for lesser things your entire life, you will end up being miserable and wishing you chose to have better. Try to have some standards sweety.

There's settling and then there's understanding that comes from time spent playing the games and interacting with the teams.

There's a book you should check out "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.... It's all small stuff"

FFXIV is a quality product: it runs well on a wide variety of hardware, is realtively free of software bugs, and lots of people enjoy it. The quality of FFXIV is not your issue: it's that FXXIV isn't exactly what you want.

Well, cupcake, I have news for you: hardly anything ever is.
There's always some aspect of anything that you would change if you were in charge.
But you're not.

Whether it's a work of art, a video game, a car, a restaurant meal, a friend, or a spouse, happiness comes from appreciating the important things you value, and not getting your panties in a knot about the little things that aren't exactly as you'd like.

Stop thinking you're an omniscient and all-wise god, the final arbitor of good and bad.
Learn humility, and an appreciation for how hard creating a product as complex as an MMO game is, much less how hard it is to make a successful one.
Then maybe you'll find it easier to be happier with what you've bought.
Because the perfect game you want? No one sells it, and probably never will.

And realize that it's one thing to pine for, say, a straw hat that has opening for Viera ears to pass through, and wish for one on the forums, and another thing entirely to insult the devs (and anyone who doesn't think it matters) and/or get all salty because such a hat doesn't exist.

Alright then. If it is a quality product, then you won't mind if I continue to demand quality as surely it would meet my standards then.

What a cope. Never seen anyone get hit by the LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH reply in the face of demanding quality from a multi-billion dollar company. Anyway, Awesome has a point. Let them live their life, bro.

They're offended because I dare ask for something that is above their low standards.

Still better than what WoW gives to their players

Or SWTOR, which long ago was fun, but was always buggier than FFXIV in my experience.

Unlike what people complain about with FFXIV, SWTOR had serious bugs, like glitches that made it impossible to progress through a raid after you got 80% through it even though you did everything right (the Pirate Captain fight, or Underlurcker), or made it trivial to get the best gear in the game (the queue-into-the-final-loot-drop-repeatedly bug). And then there were the cash-shop slot machines that were an easy path to riches, until (after the devs said they were working as intended, and people had spent a lot of real money to get them based on that statement) the devs nerfed them.

When you've lived through that, you can really appreciate SE's CBU3.
