Revisiting the 10 year roadmap

[Tsumdere]

To put it as gently as possible, you have no idea what went into that decision and have no grounds to justify that statement other than being mad. You're perfectly allowed to not like it and want it to go back - I'm still bitter about Kaiten and will probably die mad about it - but it's very likely there's telemetry data driving this decision that none of us are privy to.

Firing people isn’t the solution. They just need to change what their goals are. These sorts of comments create a lot of animosity between devs and the player base because they read these things sometimes. We are not talking in a vacuum here.

I completely dislike the state of the game and how disposable it has become but I don’t think it’s because they can’t change it, it’s because they want to do something else with it. Either way if it continues down this path I will stop playing it but I wouldn’t like to see heads rolling on the team.

I do hope they realize their 10 year road map is less about giving the MMO enthusiasts what they want and more about ignoring them and trying to get people who don’t like MMOs to play XIV. This is a slap in the face to their current customers because they are ignoring us to chase the people who haven’t wanted to play the game.

I dun care if they don't like me. And they don't read these forums anyways.

Just tired of people squawking about "buh hard to balance buh" and "you don't know what they are thinking uwu they got so much data" when we ALSO have data through FFLogs and Lucky Bancho. Players aren't stupid. We're not in the dark.

Also Kaiten change was very stupid because it didn't solve any the issues they claimed to want to change, but altered the playstyle to Shinten spam. SAM still has button bloat and still has incredibly wide damage variance. And like... every job presses buttons... before other buttons... That's how rotations work. If they wanted to get rid of "buttons we always pressed before skills" they should remove the 12 from every 123. Remove Life Surge. Remove Reassemble. Remove Requiescat. Remove Blood Weapon. ETC ETC

Truly genius.
