Patience! For the love of god, people!

Before I begin, I'm generally a pretty nice guy. I try not to make threads like this because I'm not very good at making an argument. If you come up with some huge, long-winded rant, or even just a reply to what I am saying, hats off to you. I respect your opinion as much as I do mine. However, I needed to get this off my chest, especially after going to the Tales From Eorzea Thread and reading the first comment:

Instead of posting shitty contests and tid-bits of frivolous lore, could you please give us some ARR updates.

Flood? I don't think so.

(this is an example. I am in no way making a personal attack. Avaraym is most probably a pretty cool guy.)



To all of the idiots who are criticizing that there aren't enough ARR Updates:

You do know that this event is too keep people busy (to some extent) while they work on ARR, right? There is a flood of information - just not for people like us, who literally cling to every single word about it and take it to heart, as we have for a year now. For everyone else, there's article after article after article of information from kotaku, ign, and many other sites and blogs, trailers and multi-hour-long QA sessions, books worth of concept art; crap-tons of lore to read up on, an entire site that explains the class and job systems, the enemies, the races... and much, much more.

The information isn't just for us and we shouldn't expect it to be so. Trailers draw people to the game, not just the people who play it... and it's idiotic to believe that we should be receiving a flood of information when we have already.

And yeah, some of you could reply that you're going to quit because Square Enix isn't releasing enough hype for the game... in that case, do so. You'll be doing the community a favor by giving it one less spoiled brat. And why would you quit a game that you're literally so excited for that you want more information for in the first place?

It's just a game. The updates will come when they come. Don't be such impatient pricks.

---*heeeeaavveee*---

And for those who are extremely excited for the game, want more information and can't seem to take it, take a walk. No, seriously. I would very much like you to finish reading this thread, put on some pants, put on some socks and shoes, comb your hair so you look handsome/pretty, and take a walk. If you live near a park, go there. If you don't, go down a few blocks. If it's raining, bring a raincoat and an umbrella and enjoy the sounds of the raindrops as they hit your umbrella.

While you're walking I want you to notice the area around you. Try to take in the wind, the air, the sun... take in life. Real, honest life. Count the times you may hear a bird chirping. Go as long as you want, come back when you want, and relax.

This is just a game - just a bunch of electric wires and circuits using a program that you installed onto it. Yes, you may love it, and yes, you may be excited for it, but now's the time to take a step back and be patient. Enjoy autumn and Halloween. The information will come when it comes. All you need to do is take a step back and relax. Patience is, indeed, a virtue.

As much as there is right in your post I have to also point out that you come across like you just want fight...

I go to work 5 days a week, I go to gym 3 times a week, I socialize with friends, follow the TV shows I like, run in the rain and ugh.. listen the rain drops hit my umbrella... (lol) but I still wouldn't mind some update of WHEN the game is going to be back up.
I actually don't care about the lore that much atm anymore, I just want to know WHEN so I can have some peace of mind.

Am I addicted to the game, no - I can come up with millions of things I can do while the servers are down.
BUT, if my gym now closed the doors for refurbishment I would sure as hell like to know when they open the doors again and what were they refurbishing.

I think people need to vent their frustration and where are they going to do it if not in the forums?

I totally agrre with Avraym. I got patience, i waited more than 1,5 year for ARR, I can wait the game to get delayed till 2015 but at least give some news and THEN do contest or w/e.

Wow.. you knew about ARR 1,5 Years ago? You should have tell Square Enix that Time, then they would have started working on it 6 Month earlier.

It don't really care if it's 1,5 or 1 year ago, the point that i been waiting and i don't have problem to wait more, but at least give some news.

Also they annunced ARR on may 2011. So, tell me my mistake.

It was announced in Oct 2011, where do you get May from?

And if you dont care if it was 1 year or 1,5 years ago, then you shouldnt care if it will be released in 6 month or 1 year. Everyone would like "more" news and the "flood" will come as soon as Alpha/Beta starts.

Contests are all fine and good, but it's been far less than a slow drip of information. Why not hold these contests AND give info, instead of being lazy? As it stands, most of the reps' posts are just retranslated from the JP forums. Anyone with half a brain can simply go there and get the same info we do.

And i said it on the first post, i don't care if i need to wait a year or 4 more years to play ARR, the only i want first is some new info since the last thing updated on FFXIV page it's from September 5 or at least some new mods post about 2.0.

About the date, if you go to main page and go to the 2.0 at the left going to the roadmap, outline, etc the date there is 28/05/2011.

I don't see where this thread even is necessary. The person who posted that comment was not vulgar or life threatening. He merely posted his opinion which is his right. Thread lock this please. It's a waste of space.

That is the date when the Roadmap was written, way before ARR was announced. The 2.0 Site, where you got those roadmap etc from, was released in October.

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...mber?ym=201110

Go there Scroll down.

They added a lot of Stuff since then in the Outline and Roadmap, without changing the initial Date. Oct was the announcement of the ARR-Release.

Well, i guess SE includes Dev-Posts, Lodestone-Entries also as "News". If we would go by that, the latest entry was today.
