But this isn’t why I’m writing this post, I’m writing this post because unfortunately we will be getting charged full price monthly for an unfinished product.

So my suggestion is while we will be paying $12.99 or more a month for an unfinished product we the customer do not want to be kept in the dark any longer. For us subscribers we would like exclusives. During the PS2 release of FFXI there was a nifty little app on the community website called “Vana’diel Winds.” For those that don’t know what this app was or still is (I say was because it no longer works for me). This app connected potential new players and others to a live feed of a hidden camera flying throughout the world of Vana’diel, which showcased the game and the activities within.

I propose something similar but within the developer’s office, we would like to watch you all work on v2.0 almost like we watch sports on television or a reality TV show without the commentary or “drama” just work like you have been day by day and forget the camera’s are there. Set up live 24/7 webcam feeds behind key members of the developing team including over Yoshi-p’s desk and all meetings with adequate audio and video. We want to see the inner workings and provide our own play by plays and speculation. Also post on a blog all concept art and someone who will show us video footage of current in house builds and shows us what’s been changed and what bugs are there and where progress is on v2.0.

We can’t just rely on a promise from Square Enix anymore we are investing our money in to this project so like the concerned investor we want to see what’s going on. If the community agrees with this and would be willing to pay IF they implement this then please bring traffic to this post.

Of course after v2.0 is out you can stop the live feeds, but don’t forget we’ve stuck around and remember us a veterans so compensate us with something in game via items or exclusives? Maybe an open public test server and everyone who stays and pays from the beginning of the subscription fee up to release of v2.0 will be first pick when requesting beta patch testers. Also this would be how you determine who are veterans by who’s stayed within that period of time.
You know, I skipped over this thread for the longest time just thinking the OP was just another piss n' moaner about the subscription fee.

But now that I have read this, I cannot believe my eyes. That is absolutely disgusting, I can't believe you would actually expect something like this. Is there something wrong with you? Like, are you a friggin sociopath or something?

Work with me, here, OP. Jump into their shoes and imagine what it would be like trying to work productively while you know potentially thousands of people from all over the world are watching you. Got a hunk of snot you can't blow out? Does your ass itch? Do your balls itch? Satisfy that urge and hundreds of herp derps will be talking about it for fu**ing days.

What a terrible, disrespectful thread. The level of offensiveness in this is out of control. Please check yourself, OP. I promise you 95% of any workforce is camera-shy. Not that many people like to be known to that extent.

Please, close this thread. The fact that something so offensive has been floating around for so long makes me sick.
