10th Anniversay Community Project: Deadline in 5 days!!!

[Kuutamo]

Update 6th September 19:41

Due to the shocking and disgraceful hate and insults thrown at me, I've spoken with others who help with the projects and we have decided that the three projects will cease.

All who entered will be contacted with an apology that the abusive minority has spoiled it for anyone that was excited to take part.
After communication, all entries will be deleted.

It was fun to work with the community over the past projects, and those times will live fondly in our team's hearts.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the past, and those who entered this time.

We are very sorry but no one should receive hate for trying to rally the community together to celebrate.

Maybe change this

"Project 3 : Cancer Duty Completed!"

and then more people will join you in your cause

this is just weird, this aint a video game, its cancer.

also we dont need more parasocial stuff with the devs.

Please ignore her, she speaks for herself and there is no "we".

We Aussies have saying "Cancer is a word, not a sentence", celebrating life is always a reason to party.

Please take part in all three and these will be presented at Fanfest London in October.

Brilliant idea.

Hi guys

Just a reminder about this fan-made project. The deadline is this Sunday so please join in!






(Apologies, typed too fast and made a typo in the title: "anniversary")

I think it's a great project! Anyway is a good day when you beat cancer!

So essentially you are seeking to receive donations via paypal…with no guarantee whatsoever that the money will go towards gifts and not be used for other purposes. Plus there is no specific target nor way to really know how much the individual with the paypal account receives (and spends)…

Btw, no need for expensive and fancy gifts. A nice message book can be obtained for less than $20…

Oh I very much say "we" when I talk about the parasocial relationship people in this game have with the developers, you are like the perfect example of it.

They already got called out for that in their old post about it from like a month ago or so, and nothing changed, so they know very well that they are doing it wrong, they just dont care. I wouldnt give money to this personally.

Yea, I'm very gun shy about randomly giving money to a sad story on the internet. There are legitimate charities that I'd much rather support than a rando on the internet with a paypal account or a gofundme with a sad story attached. I know it's cynical, but that's how I feel.

I would have a different opinion if they had listened to the complaints from me and a few others last time, not only regarding "cancer duty completed" which I personally find inappropriate, sure this is FFXIV, but it's real life we are talking about here, not a video game, it's real life cancer, not a video game, it's like making marketing out of it and I find it gross.

And regarding the paypal people also complained and they didnt listen as can be seen on the website, so they clearly just dont care and would rather just go full steam ahead with their ideas, to me this sounds like an absolute scam hidden behind "let's give back to the developers" I'd love to be proven wrong really, but it's very sketchy at best

My concern is there doesn’t seem to be transparency with donations v spend. Unless I missed it.

I do like the sentiment though.

Yikes!
