It’s not really about the fact that people are complaining about/demanding certain features/content, but the way they are doing it. I don’t know if other people have noticed this, but these types of complain/demand threads follow a certain (popular) “trend” and they always come in waves.

For example, the “༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give X or riot ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ”-threads were based on the popular “༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Diretide” “Riot”.

Once people think/see that a certain protest/complaint/demand “worked”, they will use it for other things as well. Hoping that the result will be in their favor.

I’ve seen the same trend happen on the Lodestone forum multiple times in the past when, for instance someone posted a complaint about “Lackluster graphics”. After that, every complaint-thread contained the word “Lackluster” to describe anything they didn’t agree to and “had to be changed now”. This lasted for quite a while.

SE wants our feedback so that they can shape their game into something that should be fun and enjoyable for its fanbase, as long as it doesn’t deviate too much from the vision they have for their game.

I personally think that it is a reasonable and respectable perspective.

We all want to see new classes like the Musketeer implemented in the game. We all want to see those famous/traditional Jobs like Red Mage, Dark Knight, Samurai, Blue Mage, Beastmaster, etc implemented in the game. We all want see them implemented in the next patch, rather than in a future expansion.

But, if SE decides that now is not the time, then that’s their choice. We can try to convince them by begging them to reconsider, but that’s all we can do. It doesn’t really matter how much “༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give X or riot ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ”-threads we create.

By all means, keep requesting for new classes, new jobs, new features, changes to the current content, introductions of famous Final Fantasy characters/enemies/locations, etc. But, try to keep it civilized.
