By now I think Yoshi and the Devs know the whole "--- or Riot" thing is not a nasty thing, especially with those faces. lol it's been used many times, and has achieved many results for things that have been put into the game.
Also, it says this about the General Discussion: The purpose of this forum is for players to discuss various topics on FINAL FANTASY XIV with other players. and that is what we are doing, discussing. If people can make a thread telling players what they can and can't do, like this one. We can make threads about things we want info on or would like to see in the game. At least our thread is related to the game and it's developments.
1.0 was a mess because SE didn't listen to the customer. Then Yoshi took it over and the people, like myself, who paid and played during the 1.0 phase where asked many questioned and told to give constant feedback about what we would like in this game. Basically this game is what it is due to us giving feed back and fighting for the content that we wanted. Even back during the beta of 2.0 Yoshi said:
Or maybe this:Your feedback is vital to balancing the game, and I've read through the battle feedback threads thoroughly. Between the manual, the schedules, the developer's comments, and all the tester feedback in here, I realize there is a lot to read through, and I thank you all for taking the time to do it.
I can say with confidence that only FFXIV could receive so much feedback and support from around the world for a beta test that's only getting started.
Which started and was achieved with the help of the people on the つ ◕_◕ ༽つFANTASIA OR RIOT ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ thread.In response to an overwhelming amount of feedback from our fans, we're pleased to announce that Fantasia is now available for purchase via the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station!
and lets not mention all of the posts that the Dev's place saying they are taking people ideas, questions, wants, needs to the team. The implementation of a new race, which people started a whole thread over. The implementation of a dagger class, which Yohsi put out a poll for asking what people wanted to see and people continued to ask for etc...
So you're telling us not to do what SE said they wants, which is feed back on every aspect of the game so they can continue to improve it and make it a game that people want to play? Because it seems to me, the Dev's and Yoshi respond to a lot of the threads in here, which are all asking or demanding something (not just the threads with riot in the title). Even your thread is demanding something, lol!
So not sure what exactly you're expecting?
