It's too bad that they'll never get it either. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.

You can know the cost of something and still ask for it. Certainly not knowing what you're asking for makes a harder argument on why you think it should be done- but their comment doesn't exclude asking. And it is not safe for them to assume that everyone here is ignorant, nor you.. Most of us have jobs in order to pay for the game, you'll never know what profession/schooling and hobbies you've ran into until you've asked.

Although I'm not quite sure which part Tiggy is referring to people not knowing what they are asking- this thread is pretty encompassing so.. a lot of stuff sitting on the table lol.

Snip.

I so agree with you. It's very annoying to see the "You should have done this!" yet never bothered to actually post what they would like to see before hand.

Especially consider the tone of many responses here. So disrespectful.

Whenever I think about SE's approach to releasing new content I can't help but feel like a horse on a carrot, except everytime I finally come within reach of the carrot the rider instead feeds me some rancid, rotting eggplant or something and then says "Sorry I couldn't give you that carrot, server limitations and all. You'll get the carrot eventually though, please look forward to it".

Same here! It started back in the 1.xx days for me. Now it feels way worse then 1.0 ever did. I had to cancel my sub because I felt like an idiot being strung along...its really sad what happened and how everything ended up.

It tends to be like the story of the Monkey's Paw. You get your wish but....

Lol you hit it on the nose. So perfect.

Why are you all still playing if the game has gone south so hard? I would be gone ASAP if I felt the same way as the responses I've been reading.

Are you guys like MMO masochists or something?

Because despite all the disappointments people are still hoping SE can pull out of their current perceived slump and bring this game back to the feeling that made people play it at launch. I feel a lot like the initial post's point, SE is very good at hyping up content and presenting things in order to make them look good. The problem is they absolutely -fail- at delivering even a half of what people expect them to, or when they do deliver it's inexplicably locked behind some overly convoluted system like Chocobo Dyeing.

There are many things I still enjoy in the game, but I am skeptical as to how long I will continue to play if I don't see what I consider improvements to some fundamental design or content decisions in the future.
