Naoki Yoshida interview @Gamescom

[Khalithar]

What would you do differently or what do you want from ffxiv?

I never liked this kind of suggestion. It's not our job to suggest something different or come up with new ideas, that's the job of the professional game developers that make the game. It's perfectly valid to say the pattern of new tomestone -> two dungeons -> trial -> raid is repetitive and it's still the same model for character progression. I certainly don't know what they could do to change it, but I do feel the same pattern of content release gets rather dull.

I have to disagree. Giving suggestions to the developers for what we would and would not like to see helps them develop content that people would want to play. Simply saying, "I don't like it" doesn't give them much to work with.
