NA FFXIV Community Reps Live on State of the Realm

[Arashmin]

The one community guy was like he loves reading the forums about people reactions about how this is cool or that is cool. Are they reading the same forums everyone is? Majority of the posts seem negative such as saying it just the same content repackaged or that SE doesn't know what the player base wants. Positive posts seem far and few.

Yeah, to me it seems like a harmful interpretation of the forum community as a whole, since there are a lot of concerns being brought up. Just throws more fuel on the "NA forums are largely ignored by devs" fire.

You don't watch his guides so because of that you won't watch a stream that has nothing to do with guides and isn't even mainly about him?

Alright

You know that time, like when someone behind you is talking and it starts to annoy you so much that you neck starts to itch? He's that guy.

Is there a non-Mr.Happy link to watch? I don't watch anything on his streams out of principal

You want a non-Mr.Happy, Mr.Happy stream featuring FFXIV Community Reps as guests?

wut

That's like asking for Oprah without Oprah.

a lot of people pick up his strategy and a lot of his information is passed off as fact - despite his best efforts - to avoid that. He gets guides up fast which is good for the community, but I've just got a habit of watching -none- of his videos because of it.

I don't think he's bad - but I think his video's as far as guides go are the weakest compared to everyone else I prefer.

Woah, flawless logic

Can we get a transcript for those that like to read instead of watch? :3

[Kyri]

Geez sat down to read forums and every thread with a hint of complaint just got closed. Much crazy. Glad to see they are listening /sarcasam

[Nix]

That's like asking for Oprah without Oprah.

But what if I want Oprah without Oprah? D:
I deserve this because reasons.

Alright

As I'll say below, I believe it reasonably covers your response.

Woah, flawless logic

Not really. I know it's a bias - but it's a bias I have, and it's a matter of principal. I'm not gonna watch on his stream because that gives him income - and I dont' support people I dont' support. As far as my logic goes, that reasoning is simple enough.

From what I understood, I thought that there were also concerns/issues in the JP forums as well? It sounds like perhaps SE largely ignores fans in general, unless something a fan brings up is in line with what they were already thinking, or is an easy fix. It reminds me of that silly quest they made where you could talk to dev NPCs, and the Yoshi one had that big speech about not wanting to redo the mistakes of the past, but they're sure not learning from that because it sounds like still ignoring a lot of the players and putting up a nice curtain (or banhammer) around it as if they hope it'll go away.

Acknowledge your fans' concerns SE, not just their praises. It'll go a long way towards making them feel that they're actually being heard.

So that's your reason, based on principle? I get it if you don't think his videos are as fleshed out as you want them to be (which I disagree, his Thor Ex was simple and straight to the point, as well as his Savage videos), and maybe I get how it may irk you that some consider his strategies as flagship. But wtf, what's the correlation between that and watching a twitch stream because he's in it? You sound petty at this point, have fun self limiting yourself.

Edit: I just saw your above post. I'm a retail manager, and I get plenty of customers who talk and think like you. I'm trying not to generalize you with my own personal experience, it's just those people tend to have very limited mindsets that come off as ignorant. Food for thought man.
