The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[Kazahashi]

Hopefully this time, they can get a feeling for what the fans want to play, and make a game that can cater to the largest playerbase possible without leaving any particular niche of gamers feeling ignored or marginalized.

Sure, but at the end of the day, it needs to be their choice, not yours, or anyone elses what path it goes down. Tanaka didn't listen to beta testers....last time I checked Tanaka isn't running the show anymore. Let Yoshi make the game he wants to make, and just chill out with this stupid MOAR CASUAL bs....it's a game, if you don't like it....again, you have TONS of other options. It's not like XIV is the only MMO, or the only game, on the market right now.

I mean, I could sit here and throw back that XI caters towards hardcores more than casuals, and that game is pretty damn popular, and has been for years. You don't need WoW sub numbers to have a good game....or even a successful one....that logic is a tad bit flawed. You don't need to cater to the "largest playerbase"....lol, which, last time I checked, the largest playerbase in XI, isn't casuals, and all those folks, including myself, have been loyal customers for years. Most of the "fans" are XI vets, so....yea, I'll just end my post right there, I don't think anymore needs to be said.

But then again, like I said, if it gets more casual....well, whatever, I have other things I can play. Cause I won't be playing a game that gives everyone hand-outs just for logging in and running outside of a city for an hour a week, and I don't even play for that long....maybe 2-3 hours an evening, if that....and I still manage to have fun in this, or XI.
