Time to move on since Square Enix does not listen to its Constituents

Oh they do communicate with the player base, but it's rather selective. TBH, they've been really good all the way up 2.2. The most recent patch 2.25 was a complete joke. Addressing an "issue" with ATMA by fixing the color of items is more PR gimmick to create an illusion of acknowledging the actual issue at hand. IMO, that's sloppy and bad customer service. Historically, Yoshi-P goes through an in depth explanation of certain design process. THAT to me is true communication, and I would LOVE to hear his justification for this ATMA design. In its current state, it does not encourage and prohibitive to multi-class progress.

Of course it's selective! When has any company ever said "Here, player base. Come up with your idea of an entire game and we'll make it for you!" This is a company. They make the game, we play it. We are not the developers. We do not have a say in every little thing that comes out of Square Enix, or any game company for that matter.

"hear the justification for the atma design"


LOL really..? They have every right to NOT disclose this information to you just because you don't enjoy the system. XIV is one of the only games that allowed you to level multiple jobs on one character. This is hardly "limiting" compared to other MMOs that only allow you to have ONE class or job per character. While I'm at it, it was a good idea to fix the color of atma in your inventory because they were rather flat and did not stand out very well. I don't know what gimmick you're talking about.

Yoshi-P shared the design process because he knew that it was important to keep the fan's trust that a game that failed was well on its way to a successful relaunch. We're almost a year past the relaunch, the game is a clear success, there is really no reason for him to continue to spill everything for you. But because of a recent announcement he made, it seems we will continue to get the occasional road map for the time being.

When did people start suddenly thinking this way?

Of course they don't make sense to you. You're not the one complaining.

What..?
...No they don't make sense because there's plenty of proof that we get a ton of communication from SE.
