Why not have -Weekly- OFFICIAL dev polls?

[Onidemon]

Because players only think of themselves, not the game.

"I want this!"

"I want that!"

Not everyone wants the same thing and the game would need things that benefit everyone, e.g having a responsive UI would be a lot less of a want compared to how people want content and jumping, they'll overlook the important thing and go for things they want.



XIV got rushed out ahead of scheduel (this can't be denied, all evidence of higher up intrusion (wada) is there.) hence the whole "please wait a month to review the game" thing because they weren't done even debugging the game.

Plans aren't risky or else games are never made in the first place.

Completely agree, plus the people here on the forum don't represent all the player nor the millions of gamers that SE is trying to bring in the game. If they based all of the development based on the polls from most of you here this game will turn into FFXI-2, aimed at a niche market... completely turning off casual players and having to spend hours to find a party or fight for a whole day to defeat a single NM so no thank you. The developers are paid to do that job and have the experience to do so.... 99% of you don't.

Heck the only thing about turning this game into "XI-2" I agree with is bringing over the basics that XIV got horribly wrong. Like the linkshell system while a step forward, was large leaps backwards in terms of basics. Same with the "search" system the game had. I do read lightly about the "Make this XI-2!" because I think most are referring to post abyssea FFXI which shovel gear down your throat for almost no work lol.
