Someone has to say it...

I really don't care that people will hate me or put hate comments here but this is something i have been holding inside everytime i come to the forums to check for any interesting topics.

Ok to the main point.

Will you all stop using the forums to spread your hate on the content that is added to the game? I mean it... everytime there is a update to the game with more content, no matter what it is, it always gets hate because people:

• 1 - Hate the content of the patch
• 2 - Are dissapointed because the content was not what they wanted.
• 3 - Only want to complain for whatever reason.

Guys, if you keep on hating on the content that is added, then switch games, go play something else and stop spreading your hate on the people that actualy love this game, like i do. It leaves me baffled that everytime i come here after a Patch day, i see "Dissapointed in this" or "This content is bad!" And i have been reading this ever since Heavensward was launched which was when i came back to the game and i had enough!

Again, if you keep on hating on the content they put for us, then leave the FFXIV and go play something else, and hate on something else, but stop giving out hate here, it almost feels like you are trying to Rally out the troops to wage war agaisnt Yoshi-P, who, by the way, works and has worked so much more in these 2 years than any of you in 5 years, and he doesn't need you cry babies making his content seem worthless!

This is by far the dumbest thing I have ever read on these forums which ultimately can be summed up by saying “stop having opinions” or “just consume the product” and the guilt tripping on yoship working is borderline bootlicking.

You fail to realize we “Hate” and to-criticize are out of passion. And vocal disappointment is healthy in a community as big as this. I for one will always be vocal on FF14 missteps. It’s not perfect, no game is and If they miss the mark I’ll be here dissecting it. Not some drone that is incapable of critique and holds the game too personally and he’s hostile toward other opinions. The Pokémon forums are that way

I really wish old threads would auto-lock if they receive no new replies after a certain period of time. There is no reason a thread that hasn't seen any activity in five years should ever see the light of day again.

People are free to voice their feedback whether good or bad as much as you don’t think so. I have played this game since 2.0 and I’m not going to say there is some great things about this game while also acknowledging there is some not as good stuff. I am sure they want to hear what we think as well.

They wouldn't give him a necromancer so he has to raise dead threads instead.

I accept that there's content I won't always care for and I have little issue with such content being added to the game so long as it isn't mandatory to do. The only issue I've had with the past two expansions is the gating of the relic weapon behind content I despise, when it used to require content I enjoyed. I would have been happy if the Shadowbringers relic weapons continued with the option to complete them outside of Bozja instead of only letting us get to a certain point and then locking the rest of the progress behind content I don't enjoy. I'm not saying that the relics should only be acquirable through content I enjoy, but I'd like to see more alternative paths to acquisition so everyone can get their relic doing content they enjoy. I see nothing wrong with stating my displeasure with certain content or design decisions on the game forum. Gathering feedback for the developers is it's purpose after all.

With all that said, I am hopeful about Endwalker's relic acquisition. One of the live letters mentioned that relic acquisition would be different (though they didn't say how). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the path to acquire our relics in Endwalker has more options so that players can do the content they enjoy and still make progress on them.

So, no more General discussion on the general discussion forum? Nice. Giving feedback and critique is the whole reason these forums exist.

These Lalafells really cannot be trusted... oh... wait...

This post has a lot of upvotes, which just shows how well players take feedback that isn't even for them, but for a multi billionar company that NEEDS and WANTS the feedback to make a better game. And to quote yoship in his 2.0 presentation:

I wish the devs still thought like this. However it seems like any time some feedback is given, and there is an actual response; the response is something something limitations. With the amount of push back any real criticisms get from the forum base, its hard to see the devs attitudes changing since at every turn those excuses will be defended.

Alot of changes really ARE held back by limitations and stuff though. I know it sucks to hear but what if you know.. they are telling the truth. Shit it could be worst. you could've had whatever the hell Blizzard is. Case in point, They want to get new servers BUT the state of the world is kindof stopping them atm. Like it is everyone else.

When one excuse is rendered irrelevant, two more seem to show up in its place. I'm in no way asking or expecting SE to deliver ridiculous things. But a high res texture pack, better servers, content that isn't DOA; these are not impossible requests. Also, just because one company is worse doesn't somehow make this game better or excuse them from listening to players. And SE will never change as long as they are blindly defended, they'll only double down.
