Letter from the Producer, XXIII (01/23/2012)

It's unfortunate he has been un-well, but using that as the basis for a letter is a cop-out

I wish I had your immune system, to never get bed ridden or sent to the hospital!

I'd like to know where you pulled that information from... oh, wait... your ass.

I never said anyone should "never get bed ridden or sent to the hospital." I said that using that as the sole purpose for a letter is a cop-out. And it is. He could have used what he had written, waited a week & added game-related information and no one would be bothered by the letter. Using the letter as a means only to say "sorry, no info, I r sicky!" is really un-needed, especially when you consider that no major information has been provided in a good length of time, the playerbase has dwindled due to payment commencement, and some players are still unable to play due to a "new" payment system not being ready that was touted as being available in November.

I can agree with points of this reply.

But Belial let me ask you this, if you had not received a Letter for another 3 weeks, are you saying that you wouldn't be going, "WTF?! Why have we received no letter yet from Yoshi?! ARRRRRGGGHHHH" You're telling me in truth you would not be just as pissed having to have to wait longer by what you said he could have done in letting us know, "Hey, Yoshi here, sorry so long but was sick and here's 2 things for the letter about the game."? I have a feeling based off how most people on these forums react, and this thread is a perfect example but, I would venture to guarantee people would have bashed Yoshi for doing that buy saying, "WTF?! You could have told us you were sick instead of making us wait longer for nothing?! ARRRGGGGG /rage".

I could be wrong and I'm not flaming you Belial but curious if it's not possible either way still would have made people here freaking WIGGG OUT and rage.

See bolded (because reading is clearly not your strongest character trait):

It's unfortunate he has been un-well, but using that as the basis for a letter is a cop-out when the playerbase hasn't seen much significant information since payments commenced.

especially when you consider that no major information has been provided in a good length of time

No, I would not. See, I'm one of those rare instances of a person that has patience for a game known to be in development. Have I ever posted about things taking too long for this game? No, I'm of the persuasion to tell people yea, you have to wait, as the process they are undertaking to correct the game is a lengthy one. Expecting patches or large wall o' text updates every month simply isn't feasible, especially when the patches we are receiving are simply band-aids & small content; as the bulk of the work lies in a new server structure & game engine (not to mention map redesigns, and other such things.) But there are certainly folks here with the "gimme nao!" mentality.

I read it just fine, thanks. So my point still stands..information you personally don't care for or find significant. Lots of people have actually been wondering about chocobo armor ever since the live letter and now we know it'll be for patch 1.21 for sure. In my book that means it's significant info to people who care about that...that definitely doesn't say they've posted no significant info at all.

It wasn't even more than 5 days ago when they posted that info.

See that funny word "much" in my quote? That would imply that, yes, some information has been posted, but not a lot.

The "no major" information refers to major issues deemed important from the whole, such as server mergers & payment system information, which are certainly of greater importance than "OMG LOLZORS CHOCO ARMOR!!111!!!!"

Again, english is not your strong suit so I'm just going to leave you to your petty vices and assumptions.

Still doesn't change the fact that we were promised a poll... Still waiting on that poll.... Where is that poll.... >.>

Acting like a crybaby don't make you a crybaby, but sure make you annoying.
Anyhow, i for one when i seen the new letter expected something on 1.21, but heck it's just a new year greeting (late because he was at hospital). When you receive a greeting, don't respond "FFFUUU".
Just chill out, the info we waiting will come out when they're ready.
ps: this "we paying so we can say whatever we want" it's getting pretty old, and no more true than before

Don't worry, it is coming in Mid January, but we are still in Early January! AMIDOINGITRITE?
