Not having this would be pretty inconvenient for PS3 players. It wonders me how it can be so hard to adapt it to linkshells since they technically already have it in server notices (welcome messages, maintenance schedules etc.).

[twinkles]

My theory is that they built the lodestone linkshell pages, and are worried they would become obsolete. If that is the real reason i would respect SE more if they responded "look we dumped a lot of resources into the ls pages for you guys, and currently our resources are tied up in improving core mechanics". Agree with above poster, the ability to show in-game dynamic messages are already in place.....

I am trying to suggest using something which is perfectly fine to use.
I am 100% sure SE would be fine with you using it to play FFXIV with.

It doesn't matter how many times anyone says it's against the ToS, I have mentioned Steam on many threads on this forum in the past and I have received no warnings about it.

Please stop saying applications such as Steam are against the game's ToS, it's getting really old now. It's especially aggrivating when I'm trying to help people out.

Also saying "oh but SE shouldn't force me to find workarounds" is very childish. Why say "no" to simple, easy and legitimate solutions? Why is it so difficult to DEAL WITH IT while SE sort things out on their end in the meantime?

I seriously don't understand the mentality of a few people on this forum.
Maybe I'm just being trolled. Please say you're trolling me so I can be relieved of the feeling that some people are mindless enough to say that using Steam is something which could potentially get you banned.

I'm not trying to undermine you. I'm just saying that despite the lack of enforcement, you should still atleast mention to people you help that it is a POTENTIAL risk. Like most people said, SE would have to be crazy to ban such minor offenses, but you never know.

The reason why everything is so hard to implement or change is because Tanaka, in his infinite wisdom, developed the game's content and features alongside the game's engine, instead of using a finished engine or simply not starting development until Crystal Tools was done. You're looking at Square Enix's Duke Nukem Forever here.

Aye. Unfortunately that is what I was referring to originally. I don't think that the programmers are incompetent, I think that the core coding of the game (not necessarily the game's mechanics) is severely inflexible to the point where implementing simple changes makes things unnecessarily difficult. It's important to have tools that make the game more malleable on the fly (from a programming perspective) when making an MMO (something that is made to constantly change, hence the justification for the monthly fee). It is to that degree that I find them incompetent. Whoever originally coded the game in that fashion.

It's a bit unfair of me to have such a position as I'm not a programmer, nor am I a game designer, but as a consumer I feel it's akin to going to a mechanic and them saying they can completely re-haul my engine, customize my body, install an in dash touch screen computer, and convert it into a hybrid, but they can't inflate my tires "that's very hard to do".

agree.

An apt metaphor. With a youtube link to boot. Thank you sir.

Yes please lsmes

Kilta is hoping to amass 6000 posts grow into a rank 75 mob and one shot threads single handedly with her ignorance.

[Reinheart]

Not sure since it was a while ago already but didn't some guys in FFXI get banned for just using windower before the SE's windower release? I know windower was used for running bots also but some guys in FFXI got banned for just simply using windower to browse internet while playing game.

[Gally]

SE can't implement this because they are too busy coding Target mode "d"

[Rowyne]

WoW you guys are idiots.

I love how you throw out insults like these, then you get upset when people have issues with you. You start mass reporting their posts and calling the community bad, when you bring it on yourself.
