Why the hate?

[MonsieurKay]

I mean, it's my first time on the forums and all I see is people whining about changes and Housing price. Trust me, features in this game are very nice and for housing.. Ask it to be free while you're at it! It should be a great achievement for a FC, it's a vanity feature. SE cannot comply to all your demands. If your ideas are better than theirs, send your CV!

Hmm... I see you're on Brynhildr; which is in the cheapest tier of FC housing.

Because this is the internet and people will try to cry about anything.

Much less people to contribute in a FC too.

...because it is an mmo forum. This one's not so bad, ever check out others? Update 2.1 is huge and everyone's going to have at least one thing in it that he or she doesn't like. People come to the forums generally to express their concerns, not to do a high-five.

That said, things are a little worse than usual right now because there are so many little-to-not-so-little job changes in the update and frankly the housing thing's a puzzler. The announced initial prices are crazy for a plot of land for housing that won't even include storage or other amenities. At least, seems so to me. And still no personal housing. Housing clearly is a work in progress and I'm happy to wait a while before they produce something worth getting.

Me, I'm really looking forward to the new content!

if you work, have families, college/university leaves a person maybe a few hours a day if you are even able to play daily like a lucky few are able to do. You wouldn't want to just log in to farm for to support just a free company house you want to run instances dungeons, level other jobs, other crafts etc. It should not lock you into gil grinding just to help your fc get a respectable house. The grind days of ffxi are over. Leveling a job to 50 getting gear and everything is quite easy to do. So the free company housing shouldn't be so far out of reach people can't enjoy it. In this morning's letter Yoshi even stated they don't really want people to have good houses for 3 months..... Then why tease us with it. They were supposed to initially release them on official release 4 months ago then pushed back to 2.1 patch now stating you don't really want FC's have a good house for 3 more months ... So disappointing.

People hate because they like to and if we don't say anything SE won't change anything. SE has buffed WAR, nerfed bard, are implementing the vote to kick feature, buffed dungeon XP, and more because of (at least partially) forum complaints.

Basically hate about the game and players in the game is found on any official game forum site. There's some positive too, just much less of it. There really is more hate than usual on the forums now too because of things in 2.1 like high housing prices, loot lockouts, and job nerfs. So all this hate you see shouldn't be surprising.

There's "hate" so that condescending pricks would have a platform to make snotty remarks on, among other things Joke aside, people are dissatisfied and often dissatisfaction is mistaken for hate by others who are just as trigger happy to make "lolumad?" type of comments, easily labelling everyone as a hater (yes, even the ones who actually like to discuss any given topic in a civil manner). Of course, there's the legit haters/whiners but they're the same as the condescending pricks. None the better, none the worse.

Opposing opinions to what developers produce = hate, and nothing else but hate. Or at least that seems to be the norm with those "not bothered"

It's unacceptable not to like everything.

So in ur opinion, SE keep what they promiss, and they have full Control over the game atm?
Did u see the live letter?

"what happends if a player is the last to exit CT, do he get Loot lockout? Y; ehh uhmm ahhh crap.."

"are we gonna see 8v8 pvp soon? sorry Our dev team have litte experience from pvp, so we need u crashtest dummies to learn from, so enjoy, and we see what we can make in future"

They have little controll over the game atm, planned while drunk, and made in the dark, atleat thats how it looks like atm.
