Ashamed

While a lot of the questions were, well questionable, you also have to realize they pick which ones to answer. I'm sure there were just as many in depth biting questions that for whatever reason they chose to not answer, be it spoilers, or just evasiveness. They also avoided several touchy subjects in favor of safe ones, as usual PR goes.

Actually playing in the game I have not seen anywhere near as much whining as I have on the internet. Be sad for the people who want the easy street game but no need to be ashamed since it's obviously not going to happen. He answered the easy ones to appease them.

This happened with my last MMO. People continually wanted everything made easy. Content all needed to he soloable, while giving out the top raid rewards. The entire game became soloable, including 12 man raids. Now the game has to close servers and fire staff because it's failing.

The lesson is that people don't know what they want. If you dont have challenging content, people beat everything quickly and move on. There is also no reason to even try interacting with others and building a community when you can do it all alone. If you hand out top rewards for no effort, everyone has everything and there is nothing left to play for. Even WoW was losing a ton of players when they started down this path (according to my brother, I never played it) and then rebounded with the latest expansion.

I really hope these devs realize this.

I hope so to :S

You'd think you were done finding nuts and baskets, then 2 more quests would pop up asking for more of the same.

These moogles really need to learn to keep better track of their nuts. At one point I was holding not one, not two, but five nuts! What kind of moogle has five nuts, anyway!? Insanity.

this is bunk, most people have a good idea what they want, there are just lots of different kinds of people when you have a population in the 6 digits of varying age and background.

or maybe the so called 'casual' players should go play a different game, what exactly makes this game casual if there the ones complaining?

you think the game losing half its subs is a good thing? and half is a very generous estimate.

The Moogle quests weren't "too hard"

Moogle quests aren't the cryptic ones - the riddle quest from 2.X and the broom quests from Matoya's Cave are. Apparently anything that isn't outright spelled out for you is just too difficult for XIV's playerbase, and sometimes even when it's spelled out it's too hard (Steps of Faith).

[Thandronen]

give me a reason to have both.

I've said this before in another thread but they really should make Fang and Claw proc off Chaos Thrust and add a few ticks of bleed damage to it while having Wheeling Thrust proc off Full Thrust with a little higher potency if you hit the positional. I'm really not sure why it wasn't implemented like this and instead someone decided "Let's make this random for NO reason!" just for kicks.

Sadly have to agree, they want to be told how to play their job, they want minions handed to them, they don't want to earn the ability to fly in zones even though that whole journey of earning makes it that much more rewarding to fly.

Aether current hunting was fun, it's a one and done concept and I don't understand why people have an issue with that. It's not like you have to upkeep it and the journey to finding them with the compass gives you time to get adjusted to the land. It's a clever way to make the ground relevant for as long as possible rather than making all the zones a /faceroll fly through from point a to point b.

I didn't see anything about handed out minions, all I shaw was can we get a "new" minion, which I am totally stoked for.

Edit: Wait! nvm I shaw it... sad...

Even if some responses are a bit wierd,like aether currents, I'm not exactly interested in defending the op here. you have to admit a lot of learning a player's role lies outside of the game. Gaining connections and clears in a casual fc can help.

I highly doubt "half its subs" is an indicator of the casual community that wants all content to be something you can beat by pressing random buttons. They're just the few entitled ones that cry the loudest.
