Hair contest: petitioning

[Nadirah]

Y'all missed the point.

We didn't need three side ponytails on the list. One of them looks almost exactly like the lightning hair ffs.

We didn't need the two pigtails tied at the nape. We already have that, difference is them being up two inches.

We wanted things we *don't* have. We got things we already have, or the same thing in more than one color.

I didn't vote for any of the females. Why? I wasn't impressed. At all.

We shouldn't have to do those things to be accepted or heard. What's the point anyways in being heard if you aren't allowed to criticize without being ignored?

Don't you know Criticizing SE staff is against the rules?

My cousin was temp banned for talking about something not worth getting banned for he actually thinks he was being singled out due to having a SNK sig due to them being in a law suit and GM's kept banning him for reasons till he was off forums then went into his account and removed the sig.

He kinda laughed said forums are a joke due to rules are messed up any troll or person could get someone banned for a simple comment.
Though the Troll himself who makes the thread with the questions doesn't get banned but the person who gave the answer is.

Plus the fact they lock off contest and tech support from banned people, this isn't a open forum like you think it is we can't just do what we want.
Remember you gotta watch what you say or get your mouth washed out with soap by the GM's just a tiny slip up and they'll use any excuse to ban you.

this isn't off topic its answering your question.

By the way the criticizing thing my cousin was banned for he basically said that something in the game made people lazy he got a email stating he criticized staff and was temp banned but he said he was talking to a person who said he didn't wanna do runs and he said it made that person lazy makes no sense the word lazy isn't bad why he think it was the SNK sig this whole time.

I read the email said he was a threat to the community isn't that defamation of character? idk anyways peace out and also SE doesn't do petitions read that some place.

Forums aren't a right, they're a privilege. They're also not subject to first amendment rights as it's a private entity. They have every right to ban someone from the forums for any reason they want, including for example, the fact your name has a Z in it ant they might not like that letter.

Stupid? Possibly. Their rules.

Yes, it is. As I said though, rarely do I see SE staff being criticized. It's usually general criticism of the company as an entity, and its choices. I never criticize particular staff members or the staff in general for example.

Ignoring criticism and forbidding it entirely is a great way to ensure your company has no idea what fans really want though. Not to mention, it's counter to the concept of a free and progressing society. But oh well, there's nothing we can do about that.

I don't see a problem with allowing tasteful and constructive criticism. And seeing as I have yet to be silenced, I think SE is willing to listen to constructive criticism. I know they have in the past for complaints others have had, and that's a good thing.

But that's just my experience, can't speak for everyone.

Not true, I agree to a point, though wouldn't be fair if they follow their own rules? if they say don't do something but you don't do it and they ban you anyways? what they ban you for doesn't make sense which makes them not follow their own rules.

I am over here now and he said why he just doesn't care he was making a point about people need to watch what they say cause they don't follow their own rules they just ban if they don't like what you say.

Its not just them either is people on here anyone you, me and someone else, if they find what you say offensive they can ban you, then get revenge basically the person finds out they get banned then they keep a eye on your account then get you banned perm by following them around watching and reading what they say, he says its the reason those rules are faulty.

it happens. Like if someone didn't like what you said and just waited for you to cuss or say something in a form of attack and reported you kept doing it till your 4th time is up for perm.

anyways that's all good luck with the petition.

The top voted ones are completely different ones in the game. I dont want something that way out of the left field. Hair like Afro might be funny for a small amount of players, but are the majority really going to run around with an Afro? It would make sense for SE to select ones that make sense in the game and appeal to the largest amount of player.

Who are you to say what "we" wanted?

[LunaHoshino]

I'm just hoping that if SE were to do this kind of contest again, they split hairstyles into three categories for the two genders for people to vote for (short, medium and long) and then have people vote on one of the top three (one of each from short, medium and long).

This is honestly what I had been expecting them to do, or at the very least provide an equal number of short, medium and long hairstyles for each gender in the finals. I suspect there would have been far less complaining if they'd done that-- I know that I at least would have been fine with it even if I hadn't particularly cared for any of the hairstyles selected simply because then there would truly be some diversity in what was represented.

The entirety of FFXIV 2.0 was built by a team that deeply values the opinions of their players. It's why it's the game it is. Those of you shaming the thread for voicing something we'd like to see: Go. Be content with what you have. The rest of us saw this contest as an opportunity for variance in customization options and we were let down.
