[Krotoan]

OH look , someone came in and actually explained the reason behind the change and was met with reprehension, misunderstanding and spite.

I am shocked and amazed..

They wanted to add another ..

Weird, What I am reading is a general hate for the design of the core game and not hate for the comment. Also a question as to why SE hasn't put some priority into fixing this so the game can grow properly.

These are actually the real kind of answers we should see about housing and inventory it is very Blizzard. It doesn't mean it is going to be fixed. But it also means paying customers can voice their desire to have X function prioritized. This is literally a million times better then some figurehead trying to sell plushies.

Also if technical limitations(server load) are based on the actual inventory you are carrying. Why didn't the people in charge discuss alternative solutions that might require more storage but less server load? Chocob bag is an excellent example of alternative storage. Why people would like the moon. They would settle with just extra retainers, player storage chests and better itemization. This is a sign that one team refuses to work within the limitations of the game.

But all in all nice answer and Thanks.

So you're not seeing how that can be read as : Everything you're trying to do is worthless unless you redo the entire base?
why yes Chocobo bag IS a great example.. too bad all the complaints said "this is stupid, why can't I use things straight out of it, just give us more inventory" well this is why!.

I don't think people are hating on the poster, but their message is being met with the exact uncompromising attitude and demands that people post for everything else they don't like. Only this time we're getting the actual background reasons which people are half reading and demanding it be redone anyway.

I also don't think we're also going to get a big reveal on team directive and funding discussions as well.

These posts are GREAT, but if I was using the response to this as a meter for doing them in the future? I'd vote no.

Are we supposed to be happy and understanding that despite shutting down the servers these problems are still biting them? You can't rely on a flawed core if you want to keep growing. We're struggling to have the responsiveness that WoW had back in 2004 in a lot of areas still. No, shutting the servers down again won't fix it faster, they just have to actually work on it.

The wonders of these kind of games mostly having a skeleton crew between expansions.

And we have features that work well where other games don't.

I'm not going to tell you how to FEEL , but when someone gives you more info and people have been complaining constantly they give us NO info, instantly responding with "that's a stupid reason, besides you should have done it this way" seems a bit counter productive. Common decency is what I'm asking for, it's that too much to ask? I'm pointing out that even when we get what we want, an explanation, the response isn't any more even-toned or reasonable, if anything it's more hostile and dismissive.

Wait, we have a 64 bit version of this game?

The dx11 client is 64 bit, when they decide to end 32 bit support it will also end dx9 support.

I personally wouldn't care how much screen releatestate it takes. I would like to have all my invantoy open at once.
But please just put key items and Crystals in one.

I'm a software designer (not MMO) myself dealing with legacy code and bad database design. I can completely understand the price paid by technical debt. However, the more egregious error here is the lack of communication. They can't just spring changes like this on the community. The game needs test servers or at the very least to warn us about something like this in the future. The patch notes mentioned the grid change, but NOT the reorganization of the sections on tabs. I think a lot of people would feel a lot less sucker punched if they knew this was coming.

I just wish it came with a toggle option: keep the current view or revert to the old.
