7.1 Dragoon Changes Complaints

[brinn12]

You're doing the same as the people you're criticizing, though. You think it's objective that these questions are subjective. It's not objective. They already gave you the arguments as to why you are wrong, yet you ignored them. It's fine. Just know you're not doing any different.

Not only are they objective, it's something the developers usually only realize when it's too late. Pushing away long-time MMO players is never a good decision.

They are making the game unfun, slowly removing all of the things the old school players liked. And replacing it with predictable, easy and less creative content. Job design is only the tip of the iceberg. While fun is subjective, what matters to the developers is the best decision for the game.

You can't just arbitrarily make subjective opinions objective rofl. Yes, I get that your feelings are real. They're still subject to your own preferences and opinions.

I've never done the same thing the people I am criticizing are doing though. You should read my language better. Why would I consider their opinions? It's not rocket science, I understand exactly where you are all coming from, I just don't see eye to eye and don't want what you want. I understand why the devs make the decisions they are making, and I appreciate them.

Everything else you say is just you pushing your own agenda, so what's the point in me as an individual taking it seriously? I don't want what you want, at the end of the day it's up to the devs, but as it is going, I support the direction the devs are pushing the game in.

If they go with what you want, that's fine. I will just unsubscribe and play something else. I'm easy come easy go. I think you should learn from me, if you want to be happy and make a difference in the game direction. Vote with your wallet.

Honestly though, I don't think they want the old school players around anymore. For several expansions all you have been doing is complaining and doomsaying about the direction of the game. Maybe they are trying to push this negative part of the community away. There are tons of people who are happy with the game and the way it is going. Maybe you're just not wanted here anymore. If you don't like what you're buying, stop buying it. Simple concept. If you're struggling with addiction, get help.

I'm not making anything, they are objective in my opinion. Again, you fail to recognize whether I'm making anything or not is a matter of opinion. You're doing what you're criticizing other people for.

Fun is subjective, yes. Some people don't even play MMOs to begin with, which is totally fair. But that FFXIV is slowly pushing away old school players by making the game dull to them is objective. That this is bad, and other MMOs at some point regret doing this is also objective. If you don't bring in enough players, you're going to lose money.

It's very hard to convince this new generation to play MMORPGs. Action, single player games and gachas are much more appealing to teenagers. You definitely don't want to lose people, and it is possible to make a game for both groups. FFXIV MSQ and gearing is always designed with the casual community in mind. It's also very easy to get into raiding, once you get to level cap. Strongest crafted gear is always relevant. Now the developers are overdoing this design, losing hardcore players and even midcore, who want to grind something that's not a useless achievement like Hoarder. And with MSQ having such a terrible reception, they start losing casual players as well.

"Tons of people are happy" >>> I don't think you are aware that Dawntrail is the worst received expansion in such a long time, maybe the worst of all time. The situation is so bad FFXIV started losing more casual players, even though it was always designed around these people. It's such cheap quality that Yoshi-P had to apologize multiple times in public, promising changes in content.
