Declining American player satisfaction - Future of game in Yoshido's hands

[LurkerREM]

HELP! The game is suffering a decline that needs halted since I started a year ago: US player community has disappeared dramatically on Siren as on two other worlds because: 1) Dungeons and selection system depends on a forced "socialist" view that we must play as “big happy family” even with different cultures that don't have the demand for reward drops, advancement rewards that you cannot solo yourself. The game IS NOT A POLITICAL platform for steering behavior - Americans (and perhaps other countries) won't put up with it and WE have the cash.

Ahahah what?

EDIT:
Sorry that wasn't much. There's another popular MMO out on the market, designed by westerners even! You could play that one instead.

Another defect - 100 word limit. You will have input like it or not.

You jumped the gun arrogant one. I rarely say anything personally but this is an MMO that by Square Enix's own forum commentary forums has suffered a trust and "promises" issues and trademark damage and CERTAINLY worth saving. Noting your experience can you name previous versions of FF that were belly flops that got major reworks?

I don't think I've ever not believed something as strongly as I don't believe that statement.

I'm sorry, I'm confused.

I'm going to go with the "this is a troll thread" reply
I cannot believe anyone is this.. odd otherwise.

That was about 1.0
They won the trust back with 2.0

2) Crafting is a violation now: Having to be in an FC to build or acquire an airship needs ELIMINATED and GET RID of specialists. The rotations and “randomizer”of crafting is BROKEN and fails easily thus destroying the fun. A computer game of this quality should not be ruined by arrogant view we have to do things a certain way YOU think up - “We the People” did not agree to. I have all classes 50+ by the Hand, Land and combat and personally am 50+ year old Chemist and Engineering Technician in real life. A friend of mine is a Cardiac Surgeon in real life and went to Fallout 6 because of crafting fails and most of same reasons. This is computer program, so making private housing and additional storage artificially scarce is inexcusable - there is NO reason for RATIONING PRIVATE HOUSING OR PRIVATE STORAGE. Would be simple to add many wards to old and new areas.

[LurkerREM]

Additional storage should be easy to get and trying to control the game with it sends subscribers to Fallout, COD, and GTA. FCs will almost never allow individual storage in Company Chest. In all cases weapons and clothing MUST be made stackable. I could fix this game in a couple of months with a paradigm shift but currently now feeling like WoW with terrible players – the hard-hitting go-getters have a short fuse for unnecessary frustration and leave first for competition. This is a fantastic game with something for everyone and you really should do an about-face before too late.

Ok aside from the fact your posts don't make much sense OP, what I do take away from this is you think just because someone isn't playing this game 24/7 means they hate the game. Which is dumb... -_-

While yes, I'm sure lots of people are taking breaks (myself included, playing "Fallout 6" everyone!! WOO! =P) but that doesn't mean they aren't coming back or that they hate the game.
My subscription is still going & I pop on once in a while to see who's in the FC, but for the most part I'm enjoying some single player games atm.
Just because I'm not playing XIV doesn't mean I hate the game or find it boring, just means I don't feel obligated to play XIV all day, everyday.

Also you can't use only your server & what a few players said on your server as proof that the NA crowd is "dissatisfied" with the game.
Last I checked Siren wasn't the only server on XIV... >_>
