CBU3 has abandoned us

[IkaraGreydancer]

They no longer care about any feedback beyond feedback that is extremely trivial and low cost to implement like alliance raid ilvl issues.

In multiple interviews, they are now outright dismissing player concerns or stating outright falsehoods (like DC travel being a JP only issue).

Since CBU3 no longer cares about the game there is no need for players to care about FF14 anymore.

Ok bye?....but we all know you aren't leaving the game so stop with the theatrics.
Not every player concern is a valid one. And yes they (the devs n such) do get things wrong as does anyone but to say CBU3 no longer cares is just flat out a falsehood. Are they misguided with certain things? I'd agree with that.

Would probably be a lot easier for some people to do without auto demolishion existing. I wonder how numbers would look like if that was off forever.

This logic has always been weird. What good is a house in a game you don't enjoy? Paying 15$ a month to keep a house you're most likely doing nothing with makes no sense. Folks will blame SE but it's the players making the choice to fork over that money.

It's pretty clear their main metric is not at all fun or engagement factor but activity/clear/earn rates. If you don't like something and you want it fixed, you need to cease reward hunting from it and never queue for it. Otherwise, if you earn that reward than they deem it a success and that it has served its purpose. It's pretty scummy we're at a point now where for them to listen, we need to activity avoid finishing the final relic step for them to consider it feedback.

This begs the question...what defines what's fun? Cause while many say they aren't having fun many say they are. No real definitive answer there.

It's not that hard to understand. People spent time and gil getting their house and decorating it. It's an achievement they accomplished in the game and they don't want it to disappear just because they were gone for a little while. It's the same reason you don't just give all your stuff away every time you take a month off of XIV. Because you want the things you worked for to be there when you get back.

That said, speaking as a big big decorating enthusiast, if the new allied raid sucks I will take a lot of pics of my house and then sadly kiss it goodbye because there're just better games/services I could spend the 15 a month/180 a year on.

What is this? Someone else who gets this?

That's it, that's all I got, the overly dramatic tone of the OP just made me facepalm and go speechless, but this I had to mention.
