The "WHY?!" - Thread. (Feel annoyed about something in the game? Let it out.)

I'm convinced that the chocobo and crafting additions were planned by people that were responsible for similar systems on FFXI.

would you care to explain? I only played XI for about 7 days total playtime and gave up when I saw the ridiculous gear prices for the gear needed to beat maat.

If I had to guess,

Much like XI, all new recipes that have been added since release have required expensive/rare mats and requiring being a max level crafter regardless of the resultant item's level or utility (eg: the augmentation items, the spring dress a lvl 1 vanity item needing Vanya silk, twin thread, and a 2 star crafter). Unlike most other MMOs which will add new recipes across all level ranges, usually with vanity items being new low level recipes to keep old low level mats semi relevant.

Which of course brings me to the fact that SE and the FF MMOs have a problem with RMT... And to a degree with nonsense like the above it's hard to be surprised as they have a bad habit of bringing it upon themselves.

Only 3 gardens allowed in a house. Why can't we buy a private garden similar to buying a private room?

[Vence]

How rare atma is. The rate could be just a bit higher.

[Eissels]

WHY?!:

Does Skillspeed not increase TP regeneration

Can I not get Lightning's Hair

Do Miqo'te females not have any other good hairstyles

Is the world map so small when it's obviously so huge, and why is everything shortened by teleporters.

Can't I have a house or a garden without being in an FC?

Is so much cosmetic stuff gated behind really stupidly long grinds

Does the atma quest still exist

Are hunts so absurdly frustrating

[allecs]

The fact that I have to do all these idiotic quests to unlock unimportant things like dances and emotes...why can't I just buy em like every other darn mmo?

I've been gone since the CT patch and I just wanna know....
Why are people still wiping on the first wave of trash mobs in CT?
Why are we still dying to skeles?
WHY are people still refusing to learn their class? Had a warrior in Ultima HM that had no clue what provoke was. GG
Why are people playing like WoW add on dependent players without the add ons on a game that requires 0 skill? ._.
And lastly....why does it feel like the GCD is longer?

[Bluevann]

The amount of jerks who will make 1-man FCs to buy an FC house instead of waiting for individual housing to come out, screwing on smaller groups like mine...

Dps complaining about queue times. Why not play a tank or healer? You know you play a job everyone and their momma plays.

People that make other people skip cutscenes.

Failing and stuff when you have a success rate of 90% or higher and you fail it at least twice in a row. For people that don't know math, missing two times in a row with 90% chance to succeed is .01 or a 1% chance of happening lol

You do realize that its a 90% Chance Per Action right? Every action gets its own roll of the "dice" on the Random Number Generator. So that 90% Success Rate is not a cumulative effect like so many people think it is or wish it would be. Sorry to disappoint.

The crafting success rate is just bogus. On a low level crafter failure is much higher than 10% where it gives 90% success rate at certain actions and pretty much guaranteed to fail without Steady Hand up when crafting at your level. And at a higher level, crafting lower level items success is much higher than the given 90%. So why give a misleading %.

And why did they release the two Magitek Mount cosmetic actions without a way to use them that doesn't involve turning on your Pet Hotbar/Crossbar under configuration? I even tried last night to find a way to macro the pet cross hotbar on and off alongside the mount summon but haven't found a way to do it. Summoners and Scholars who have a setup that involves not using the pet hotbar have to go through steps that make it not worth using at all.
