btw what does being a western player have to do with anything?

Nothing, and I don't even think that's a "thing". There's just experienced and inexperienced gamers IMO.

Late to the party but the team is not going to make infinite arrows.

Why would they anyway? Ammo already stacks to 999 which is plenty... besides, crafting is supposed to be a major driving force in this game. How many people are even seriously asking for this?

I think you should be able to change what type of arrows you have equipped mid battle. To be more effective, especially for raids. If they have arrows stacked to 999, why not have infinite of that one arrow?

Because 999 < infinite. and if your going to be using them for regular attacks, well that means there will be a healthy market still for arrows. infinite arrows on the other hand, causes far less demand and will hurt the ways CRP can make money. It'd be like creating a recipe for the Everlasting Gobstopper for CUL, that can be flavored differently for different classes, and prove a buff, but never run out. It would kill the CUL class, which would do nothing but aim for selling that Gobstopper.

Yeah because arrows totally work for all classes the same way food does. Don't use a ridiculous hyperbole as a comparison. Food is the ONLY thing CULs make, Arrows are not (even close) to the only thing Carpenters make.

I'm tired of going into a long battle, only to have 8 arrows equipped.

I don't think they're saying yes to everything I think they're just saying yes to the mmo standards. IE Auction house, Rested XP, Mailbox, End game content, things to do.

I posted this in another thread.

So you need a bit of imagination for this to work.. Imagine the final meeting between Tanaka and the Dev Team during Open Beta the week before the game went live. Maybe there was 1 person that tried to do that right thing at the very end..? Like suggesting halting the game's release or including last minute fixes, etc.

How do YOU picture that final meeting go? Here's mine:

Tanaka: Everything is ready to rolllllllllllll!
Dev Team: But Mr. Tanaka, the battle UI hasn't..
Tanaka: ROLLLLLLLL!
Dev Team: And the maps sir, those were just what you drew on the back of a napkin, we never actually had the world map designer come in and..
Tanaka: HAHA! Fantastic.
Dev Team: It takes players 3-10 seconds to execute commands in battl..
Tanaka: (Thinking out loud) I wonder if it's possible to earn a Nobel prize for a video game.. I'll find out soon enough!
Dev Team: Sir all the mobs in the game use ranged attacks as well, making ranged DD/Mage classes useless..
Tanaka: (Sigh) But they can't use terrain advantage.. we learned from FFXI!
Dev Team: And that Centralized Economy plan we were still working on hasn't been put in...
Tanaka: ECONOMY?! There's plenty of economy. They farm many Marmot, they sell Marmot hide at NPC vendor! If they sell too much though, maybe we ban them for RMT (evil laugh)!
Dev Team: Can we at least put in the feature so they can manage linkshell administration anywhere in the worl..
Tanaka: NO! We talk face to face in this game! You no want me to fire you over the phone do you? NO! You want be fired face to face! In fact.. you FIRED! HAHA!

Two months later:
Tanaka wakes up violently at his desk: My god, that was some powerful Peyote.. (presses buzzer) Hey Carol, how has the game held up while I was in mushroom land? Did I get that Nobel nomination yet? (pause) WHAT? The players said what?! Amazon.com said WHAT? Game sells for $14 and no one will BUY it?! GameStop no carry it?!
..
(Inner reflection) I should really stop overseeing productions in a drug-riddled haze. Hey Nancy, who all from the Dev Team hasn't quit yet? Hmm.. Let's try this. I'll fall on my sword and we'll give this Yoshida slugger a chance.

Carol: My name is Carol sir.
Tanaka: Nancy make a note of that: her name is Carol. I have a hangover.
