Remove the One time character restore rule!

[Paladinleeds]

Evidence points on other games that jump potions bring in a heck of a lot of money. The monetary gains from this outweigh the backlash from the community (when WoW introduced them there was a ton of backlash, but it hasn't killed the game, and brings in quite a good bit of revenue). Plus, it will get to a point where you need them to bring in new blood to sustain the game. The ROI wouldn't be worth it on this game, given how easy it is to level and such. XI again is an apples to oranges comparison here because of how brutal levelling and gearing was in that game. Here, you practically vomit levels and gear. This however will always be designed for a small subset of people.

So Here comes the bigotry comments at me when I said none too you now eh?

I'm gonna be straight with you here, after the stuff you're telling us, saying our opinion doesn't matter when it does (jump potions notwithstanding because of the huge goldmine they are whereas this is not), you deserve every single comment you get.

This is another Problem I see with The forums, Any and all Suggestions are shot down before they even get a chance off the ground. That's why People rarely post suggestions as is. Personally if SE wants Suggestions they need make a suggestion are and hide it from public view cause you all are vicious animals to any and all ideas that could improve the game for people.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Very rich coming from you telling us our opinion doesn't matter just because we disagree with you, including those that hadn't made bigoted comments. You've made your bed, lie in it.

And yet a paid restore isnt a gold mine either? Are you all blind or something?

No, we're not. Because the feature will most likely be used a lot less than you expect. And again, with the insults that prove why you deserve the bigoted comments back.

Why would it be? I cant imagine that this feature is frequented this often - after all SE will have the numbers on this and BOTH sides can only speculate, but most people leaving the game dont delete their character, so its not as if this would attract vets again (unlike the jump potion, possibly). If you want to get out of a serious issue (thats is SO bad you need to delete the character to get away) why would you want that character back anyways?

So now you're getting insulting because people dont like your idea? Good job!
I've posted suggestions before - some were liked, some were not, but I was always open to discuss them, get input and other point of views.

I dont see how getting their character back after deleting it twice would improve the lifes of some people. To delete your character you must have really strong reasons - addiction, stalkers, abuse, a depressive/emotional episode you name it. And while I truely feel sorry for people experience things like this, if it leads to them deleting their character more than once the real improvment for them might be to stay away from the game. I dont know everyones situation ofc, so I'm not really in a position to judge this, I know this, but if you need to get rid of the game so badly that you basically lock the door behind you and throw the key into the ocean, the real improvment in your life could be to stay away from the game.
If you delete your character twice, it might be impossible for the game to improve for you.

OP, if you don't like how people disagree with you, do yourself a favor and just stop posting. Just like how you believe you have the right to say whatever idea you want in hopes that the devs will listen, people also have the right to explain why your idea won't work. If you can't handle criticism, I dare wonder how you handle a superior at work or school criticizing your work.

It's like we're talking to Cleverbot

I really don't think people in this thread understand what bigoted means....

Also, being a LALALA person is not having a discussion, OP. It's called willful ignorance. Blindly believing your idea is superior to a contrary argument despite severe discrepancies in logic and evidence, while repeating only the same few points, is not participating in discussion.

Edit: Also, you can edit posts to include additional thoughts instead of chain posting.

Also, if you want to be more credible, try addressing some of the points brought up with counterpoints. It might help. Might.

One of the your post stated that you did no such thing as deleting your character. And now another post of yours said, yes you did delete your character...

I think you should just calm down and think what you are trying to post here.

I'm not sure that the Far Eastern dress and the jump potions are good analogs to your request regarding the Character Restore policy... Both of these items had already been designed and implemented into the game, it only required a few switches to make the dress available in our version, and will be just as simple when they add the jump potions too.

Asking for character restores to be unlimited would require more dedicated hardware that is not currently implemented. The cost for that hardware would be far higher than it was/will be to simply add something they've already created and designed to a separate version of the game. Hand-holding what few people who repeatedly delete their characters and then regret it (sorta sounds like repeating the same action while expecting a different result, to me) is unlikely to drive the kind of numbers to motivate them to make such a large investment. On top of that; whatever emotional reasoning people would have for deleting their character would become utterly pointless with such a change. You wouldn't be really deleting anything, you'd just be 'hiding' the character from the Character Select screen.

The jump potions don't rationalize investing in additional hardware to change the restore policy. Without the jump potions, the "repeat-deleters" that would come back if they could have their characters back, only for the data to be lost before they changed their mind, would not have returned anyway. The jump potions at least gives them an option, some of which will inevitably take the option, leading some to return to Eorzea where otherwise they would have not.
