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.

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.

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.

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

[Niqote]

You can edit your first post to by pass the 1000 limit.

Though, I giggled at the 'we have the cash' ... because in my mind you were just lit up like a Beacon.
Perhaps a little more diplomacy would go a long way here :3

I'm confused on what your first post is about, are you trying to turn an MMO into a single player game or something? I'm sorry, but this is an MMO and naturally, a social game. Of course the developers are going to expect players to get along and play together.

This whole post is bizarre. What makes you think you speak for "Americans"? And did you deliberately misspell Yoshida's name every time?

It's an MMO, why should you be able to solo everything yourself? It's already incredibly friendly to playing alone.

Awww what's the matter? Can't get people into your FC to do group things with? Have you alienated yourself from the Siren population due to your frustrated comments against SE's playstyle in this game? Final Fantasy XIV is called an MMORPG for a reason, not SPRPG (Single Player RPG). Like Niqote said, maybe you would enjoy a different western made MMO out there that will give you more of what you're looking for? Also, please dont include me in your 'Americans' won't put up with tirade. I am an American, and enjoy the game the way it is. There is plenty of things to do without a group here.

And I am still an university student and can craft level 60 2* items HQ....

I apologize, but this part of the post made me laugh, why did you list your and your friend's rl jobs?
