    Yeah, I'm aware. Busy status only blocks tells and party/fc/trade invites, I don't like /busy either (since it's nuclear option), but you can still chat with your friends in cwls, parties and FC. I'm not saying it's ideal, but the damage has been done and these are the options that SE gave us (as bare as they are).

    Nothing will happen. Square Enix doesn’t care and you will stay subscribed. You will still pay money just to idle while playing other games. You are a sucker. And as long as the company has your money, they have no reason to do anything.

    I don't know what's more (hilariously) concerning. SE's silence, the fact certain entity with forum power made an appearance in another recently made thread of their own amidst this worrisome period, or both.

    I pay via game time cards due to an issue I had once with my card. I don't plan to buy another after these 10 days are up. While I wait to see if this gets resolved I have plenty of other online and single player stuff to play.

    I'm just more puzzled at what happened between Endwalker and Dawntrail because it seems such a steep cliff dive.

    Well part of that is easy to explain. Fan favorite writer was writing for FF16. This is the expansion where they do a bunch of graphical cleaning to mixed results, mostly when it comes to double-dye and character creation stuff, so that is where a lot of work went. Dawntrail's "story" is trying to do to many things at once, not even factoring in Wuk Lamat, and doesn't really make a lot of folks happy who were expecting different things for an expansion about the "new world". Two new jobs, one is the melee equivalent of new summoner, the other is a caster that was designed for ultimates and makes black mage cry in the corner. 7.1 doesn't have any bozja-style content or relic grind for cool looking weapons. New chaotic raid for 7.1 is received with mixed reactions, same with pvp content. And the new blacklist feature doesn't actually fix the problem with stalking and only gets exacerbated because some guy was upset about being undercut for 1 gil.

    There is other problems but that is the gist of it. Aside from finally being free of this fomo pvp series season's rewards, I just been enjoying Red Dead Redemption 2 and some of Red Dead Online, as that is what I wanted out of Dawntrail. Technically the expansion had some, but it's like a few drops of water in a desert.

    The warning signs were all there in Endwalker; those who spoke out about them were just discredited as doomers/haters/trancers. Think about how little content we got in Endwalker: relic steps that could feasibly be completed on a main job within 20 minutes of logging in to a fresh patch, extended patch cycles, no field zones... Players were much too distracted by the spectacle of the ARR 'finale', which was still divisive in its own right, to recognize the cutting of corners right in front of their face (or they did recognize it, but chose to remain ignorant and/or defend it). As far as I'm concerned, Dawntrail and all of its failings (including the ongoing privacy issue) are a direct consequence of the toxic positivity reinforcing the developer's poor decisions in Endwalker. CBU3 have become increasingly complacent and lazy because they know that players are too attached to their characters and world to ever affect their bottom line financially. And to be frank, I don't hate the game or think it's at risk of dying yet — I just think Square Enix need to give FFXIV the dignity it deserves as one of their major breadwinners and divert some actual effort towards it. It's honestly shameful that after two record-breaking expansions back-to-back (Shadowbringers into Endwalker), we're still somehow unable to get the quality or quantity of content necessary to satisfy the general playerbase. Especially when the updates we do get are implemented in such a shoddy way that we end up with this ridiculous privacy scandal, and SE don't even have the dignity to make a statement about it.

    Oh... are you unaware numbers fluctuate? Not defending the small indie company or anything... but you actually thought the numbers only ever got larger? Yikes. A lot of people who "left" will be back at a later patch, like usual.

    I've played multiple MMOs since I was a child. I've never heard of Account and Content IDS being stored client side.

    This isn't some "it should blow over issue" it's a genuine security concern and the fact we've heard nothing on top of Dawntrail being in my opinion a rather weak entry to the FF14 series is enough to convince me to take a break. I love this MMO, it can and should be better period.

    I don't care who has quit the game, I don't care if you believe I'll be back but acting as if this is just some temper tantrum over a legitimate account issue is bewildering to say the least.
    Sorry, I suppose I just don't run into much issue with having to blacklist people often enough for it to be a huge issue during gameplay. I understand experiences differ and maybe you get blacklisted/blacklist people more often and have this be a huge issue. This just struck me as a strange hill to die on.

    Isn't solely down to the blacklist. Either you don't know what this addon does or you're just trolling at this point so I'm not entertaining you further.

    It's flat out taking important account data and making it public because Square made it client side. Over 700k characters have already been compromised. If you can't see the urgency in that then you don't understand I guess.

    It has nothing to do with who blacklists who or when or how often. Educate yourself on the matter please because it's more serious than you believe it is.
