How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

[Dallie]

Hate it, but why is everyone taking Yoshi's '3-months' as a literal statement that's how it will be in the future?

I have seen very little tied down to any solid number since he took over the helm, so I would wager you'll get four.

I don't see many people taking Yoshida-san's statement literally(I DO see many people assuming others are taking it literally though). I see a thread asking "What IF this happened? - how would you feel about it? Like or dislike?" Not saying "This will happen for sure! /raaaaage!"
Some people lack reading comprehension though. ; ;

Just want to point out a few things.

1.

Post how -YOU- would feel and nothing more

The fact that people actually tried to personally attack me over a topic asking people to -only- post an opinion really says something about those people.

2. at the moment about 5 times as many people would hate the system rather than love it

So please if you want to debate the issue or personally attack -anyone- go make another thread
If you don't like the topic DON'T POST.

So you are trying to scam people with your misleading post, and say "If you think I'm scamming you, please don't point out for others to see, just stay shush and play somewhere else"?

One, i never claimed anywhere that anyone said this would happen. I simply made a post asking a question
Two, the hate love thing wasn't my idea
Three, If gear is easy to obtain after 3 months then either: 1. gear is obsolete quickly with new gear being released. or 2. after 3 months everyone has the best gear for a year or 2 until new gear is released. There isn't an alternative. If gear is easily obtained after 3 months then either everyone will have the best gear except in the 3-months after new patches, or gear will be continuously replaced every 3-5 months to give "hardcore" players a chance to be elite.

And lastly, why are you causing drama, if you don't agree with the post or don't like the post, don't try to run it off topic. Either post on-topic (which is a simple answer to a question) or make a new thread on the issue.

You can't accuse someone of scamming people by asking a question.....

Because your post is just like those political message that play to people's emotion but has no ground in reality. You are acting like asking a purely theoretical question, but leading people to think you are asking about specific action SE is taking regarding FFXIV. As a result people are not answering your literal question but the underlaying message, which is not valid to begin with.

It's like someone posting on a forum discussing death penalty asking "What would you feel if the government drag you out the bed in the middle of the night and execute you?" Well, it sucks, of course, but it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the topic of discussion on the forum.

I asked a one line question. Don't try to turn it into something it's not just because the answers to it do not follow what you agree with. It's ONE LINE. People on this forum are smart enough to read a ONE LINE question and answer it with their opinion. I'm not going to debate this further because you are doing exactly what I specifically requested not be done, and trying to pull the thread off topic.

Nothing of this has to do with my idea or my beliefs. Two topics on the subject got closed. I thought it was an interesting topic that has a serious effect on the game. So I created a thread that was intended to have no debate or drama, and just people's opinions on the QUESTION.

I've reported your posts and Currahee's post. And will not be fueling your continued efforts to derail/troll/diminish or whatever you are trying to accomplish in this thread. In other words I will not respond to you. and continue to report any of your posts that attempt to personally attack me by claiming I'm doing anything more than asking a question, or try to derail the thread and turn it into a flame war about what people's interpretation's of Yoshida's post is.

This thread is asking a simple question. All I asked is people answer it and NOTHING MORE. If you don't like the question, don't post and ignore the thread.

Thank you.

You clearly misunderstood the post from Yoshi P. And the headline of your topic is guiding people to the same misunderstanding.

Yes, YOUR idea of gear becoming obsolete every three months is horrible.

Fortunately, this isn't what is happening.

Why not edit your original post to include what Yoshi P said (paraphrased) ~ Every three months they will have unique and exclusive gear available for the hardcore players while relaxing the difficulty of obtaining last updates unique and exclusive gear for the more casual players.
(unique and exclusive as in: alternative styles, alternative stats. Not more powerful)
Thats what Yoshi P said.

You are spreading misinformation.

id fell salty as hell investing a bunch of high end materia into a piece of what i thought was rare gear only to have it handed out like alexs lemonade.
