Player Segregation. Can i NOT have it.

[Biggs]

First they tell us that Caravan Escort will be company only.

We all understood, it was a R25 event that held little value late game and offered almost no reward other than Seals.

Secondly they tell us that players should choose what Company to choose based on the Speech and the one with most appeal (Good), only to inform us that loot drops will be influenced by keeping the same companies within a group (BAD)

What are the repercussions of pressuring people to all go with the most popular company if they want to stand a chance at joining a group or getting geared ASAP?

"ULDAH OR GTFO".

One of the most appealing parts of this patch for a lot of people is the thought of spreading the population out to the ghost towns (Thanks to: Airship // Chocobo's // Company Leves ), however this part of the patch completely goes against that.

I just cannot fathom SE's contradictory train of thought sometimes.

I agree with everything you say here except it has one gigantic flaw: I think that, by now, after everything we have seen this past year from SE in terms of fixes and content, it has become OBSCENELY clear that everything SE is doing is not for you. (and by you I mean us, the people that have payed for the game and are playing it now.) They don't give a shit about us bud. They would rather fix the game in a way that caters to people that haven't bought a copy of the game yet. So while they will continue to use us for our input in order to fix the game, I can assure you they aren't doing it for us. They are doing it in hopes of getting a ton of people that aren't playing this game to buy a copy at a time in which they can then charge them a monthly fee.

I only wish people would learn to stop posting crap like this altogether until they flip the on switch on charging us. They have even said that they are going to be redoing the maps for Gridania, LL, and the zones outside of them. Those changes will take the longest, so of course they are gonna herd us all into the one city they won't be redoing until that happens. Lets all hold off on the hate speech we have for what they are doing until they come out and say "Hey, fixes are done, give us your money"



EDit: The comment about hate speech was not directed at the OP, this was a well thought out and polite post. I do see a TON of other posts however that are just developer flaming threads about assinine issues.
