7.1 Dragoon Changes Complaints

[HikariKurosawa]

Good to know you realize your own opinion is irrelevant Dragoon Lv 92.

At my current level I had experienced everything but starcross and passive changes that have no influence on the rotation.

Nice try though. If I already felt it was too busy and disorganized during the burst window at level 92, then introducing starcross would only make it worse. Which is part of the reason why I unsubscribed, I knew that another button was being added to a burst window that I already felt was too much. What even is this perspective you're expressing other than delusional gatekeeping?

At the end of the day, you're not going to get what you want.

I also want to reiterate the capitalist perspective and people talking about how I am "not playing the game". The changes this patch led me to resubscribe and post praise for the dev's direction on the forums. Who do you think they want playing their game, people like me who respect and appreciate their design yet don't play as often. Or people like you who continue to play the game with a negative perspective when you clearly don't appreciate what they are doing. Your playtime over mine doesn't mean you pay more for the game. We both pay the same subscription fee. The difference is that you're actively complaining about the game and likely often in game, making the gameplay experience worse for everyone by being a negative influence.

When I play the game, I have nothing but good things to say about it and I enjoy my engagement with the game and the community. The moment I stop enjoying it, I just unsubscribe and do something else with my life. I don't stick around making the world a worse place. I just move on if I'm not happy.

So again, who do you think they want playing their game and paying the same subscription fee? You're not giving them more money by playing more, if anything you are actively harming the experience by engaging while being unhappy.

If you don't like the game, unsubscribe and move on. Negative players are nothing but a detriment. Put your money where your mouth is.

Genuinely a skill issue. Your only contribution to any Dragoon conversation is borderline trolling and how your own inability should be catered to.

I get so much second hand embarrassment when you post, please stop.

Dragoon was one of the most straightforward melee jobs to play. I think white mage is more up your alley my guy.

If you don't like the game's direction, just quit. It's the best thing you can do if you want things to change.

This line of thinking is braindead. If everyone who was unhappy with the game direction left, and all you had left were people who were fine with it, then nothing would change. SE would have no reason to make changes for a player base who didn't want anything to change.

It depends on the numbers. If enough people quit in response to changes to cause a financial loss relative to those like me who come back in response to the changes, then they would absolutely rethink the changes implemented. If you continue to sub, then all they are getting is increased financial success from the changes and obviously they will not revert them.

Unless what you're getting at is that, only a tiny portion of the community actually dislikes the changes. Which then yeah, you're right. Nothing would change. This is capitalism after all, the majority rules, and that's how it should be. Games don't exist for a minority who is attached to things being a way that most people dislike. That's crazy entitlement. If you're unhappy with the game, and it's not going to change, then the best thing you can do is move on. Not to get the game changed back to how you want it to be, but to just do better things with your short life. Maybe the people complaining about the changes are the majority though, and if that's true then you should absolutely unsubscribe from the game if you want things to change.

You act like they do not have complete awareness over the financial success of their game at any given point lol. It's laughable how simple and entitled the perspectives being posted here are. If you are with the majority, you will get what you want. If you don't get what you want, I hate to say it but that's just the way it is. You should have had better taste.

Not a fan of making a defensive tool a GCD as this usually means it never gets used due to losing dps. It really should stay off GCD if kept, alterantively it could also be a trait (life leach and crits on drakesbane during life of the dragon for example)

What they should do is just remove the damage component from life surge and make it purely defensive. Still keep it to being only one charge of nastrond per burst window though. It was way too many oGCD in the burst window.

It's not specifically that a tiny portion of the community likes the changes. You're just severely overestimating how many people either like or don't like them at all. The people that post feedback in forums and on social media about FFXIV are such an unbelievably small minority of the overall player base. Whether you are on the side of liking the way the game is or not you have to understand on either side you are part of a minority. The vast majority either don't notice or don't care either way, and will never post about it.

As soon as you silence one vocal minority all you're left with is the other vocal minority, and a vast silent majority. Nothing would change.
