Quitting ffxiv for good

[Ath192]

The best thing to do is move on instead of trying to deny and fight the divergence. Sticking around won't accomplish anything. The developers are going to make the game they want to make, not the game that players think they should make.

This is actually not true though is it? Most of this games decisions have been driven by player feedback historically, maybe less so now. And they are only revamping the graphics because we asked for them, not because it was the easy thing to do. With the developers personally thanking the players for staying through 1.0 and apologizing to them how can you reconcile your words with so much evidence to the contrary?

I feel like your statements are more about silencing the negativity instead of listening or understanding it simply because you don't like it. But negativity has a place, and its that very same negativity in regards to this games difficulty that made it so easy. That was all player feedback. So hopefully that very same negativity will balance the game back to an interesting state again.

You certainly have no grounds to claim the devs won't make a game players want. Not when it comes to this one.

I distinctly remember Yoshi P asking in a keynote for Endwalker if it was okay to add weeks to the patch cycle and him getting a positive response because the players believed the Devs deserved some more breaks. Unfortunately, we did not realize this was going to make this games stale formula extremely obvious and make the game feel stagnant. As such, hopefully they'll step up efforts again and hire more people to keep content up instead of overworking their employees.

I have my resentments for sure, but despite criticizing them for not caring about a lot I can't say they don't take feedback.
