Glamour restrictions: a hinderance to creativity

[Lihtleita]

You're advocating, it seems, for a particular change in the rules: their elimination.
And now you claim that's the only change in the rules they "should" make.
That's complete nonsense.

It's never been "the original way or nothing" in this game, not for anything.
SE has the right -- yes, the right, as owners of this game -- to evolve it as it suits them, as they have been with every patch. That's true for every aspect of this game, including gear and glamour.

well damn i guess that means theres no point in having a forum then we cant tell square enix what to do. pack it up boys

Oh boy, here's this crap again. Square Enix aren't making a game for themselves. They're literally selling a product and I, as a paying customer, have the right to make a suggestion on the public forums. If it weren't for suggestions, the game would be in an entirely different state - ARR most likely wouldn't have been a thing.

AF gear already does that. Unless you expect them to design a unique set for each job for each raid/dungeon ? I'm all for that but it's never going to happen.



They haven't chosen to conform with anything. Gear appearance has to be the most incosistent thing in the entire game. We wouldn't have such a high amount of cross-role gear/nigh-identical sets if they wanted to keep everything restricted. If they cannot uphold the rules they've set years ago, they should just remove them.



Lmao this is hilarious.

I would much rather they do that verse lifting all restrictions. Honestly after all these years I doubt they will remove restrictions either so it does appear both sides are left wanting. At the very least the more restrictions side can request the restrictions we currently have stay.

I never said you couldn't make suggestions. I just said your suggestion was nonsense.
And actually, as a legal point, you don't even have "the right" to post to the forums, much less make suggestions here: SE could ban you at any time and you'd have no recourse.

You honestly thought you could ever "tell square enix what to do"? Here or anywhere?
I got news for you: outside of governments, SE's execs, and SE's major shareholders, none of us can tell SE what to do.

Feel free to make suggestions though. But expect most of them to be ignored, just as a matter of statistics given the volume of different and often conflicting suggestions people make.

Alright, not gonna lie I was fully convinced you were being serious until this post.

I've made the same thread years ago, multiple times even. With full explanations and reasoning for why restrictions shouldn't exist. They literally don't care.

They also won't even update any of the "horns" items for them to be dyeable.

This man gets it, some suggestions are akin to screaming into a void, and it is slightly entitled to think this time my suggestion will spark change! Maybe I am just dumb and jaded.

A statement from 4 years ago can change. I'm not keeping track of it but its highly likely that on the span of XIV's lifetime so far YP changed his mind about stuff.

Even if from a direction standpoint he says something like "Kaiten is not needed today", there's no guarantee that on the next expansion he'll change his mind and re-introduce the action.

:P Hey buddy, how are you?

Quick question what exactly do your posts add to the thread? Weren't you getting my case before cause my posts did not add anything and was just present to argue? Where do your posts fall on that spectrum?
