How do you restore trust?

[Train88]

Assuming they make a game better than everything out there and nobody knows but us. How would they get around that?

This game has a terrible reputation. Not only do they need to fix the cause of that. They also need to fix the effects of it.

Am i making sense here?

I raise a legitimate question and hope for constructive input.

I get "this" for an answer. Calling me a troll?

The irony is collosal.

SE just needs to keep coming out with awesome content and continue to learn from their mistakes rather than repeat them. Once the game goes Pay-to-Play and PS3 version hits, we'll see even more people log into the game (even with caution) and start to see a rebuilt Eorzea right before their very eyes. Once the player base is strengthened, we may start to see a few expansions to help make the game that much more enjoyable.

The potential is there, and it's make or break time for SE...all we can do is wait tirelessly for the next few patches until we start to see a rebuilt Eorzea unfold right before our very eyes.

You put a subligar on top of that persons head and give them a big hug, and they will magically want to return to the game.

Isn't that for people who don't have active subscriptions? or does that limit new players too?

At OP, it may largely depend on reviewers and magazines providing good coverage of it to get people to return and perk the ears of newer payers. Word of mouth with preferences and biases like ours nets the current community.

Actually,

Many of us have been driven to responding to posts like yours with sarcasm and crude humor.


BECAUSE:
Quite frankly, if a thread pops up with ANYTHING to do with "HOW WILL SE RECOVER" or "OMG THIS IS TERRIBLE" or "GG SE" and ANY flavor of such nonsense, is going to be trolled by those of us who are fed up with the doomsday crap and just want to let SE do their work without being ridiculed.

They KNOW by now whats wrong with the game. They MADE the mistake, they ADMITTED it, they are TRYING to fix it.

They don't need the BS.

They need CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Notice the BOLD word.

Next time anyone has an issue, post your CONSTRUCTIVE suggestion on how to FIX it.

Not your butthurt story on why they screwed you, and now you are quitting because WoW does it better.

Nobody cares.
The whining needs to stop.


Love,
Mog


Edit: Disclaimer:

This post is not directed right at the OP. Its more of an observation and not an excuse as to why he got the sarcastic response per-say.

I agree with the OP, I can't say how they will restore the vision of FFXIV to people who saw the bad reviews.

Maybe the PS3 release (and the following RE reviews will do it?)

Only players who haven't logged into the game in 30 days are affected
