We need better comunication with the Community team

I always feel like reports are "lost in paperwork" and never truly investigated, or there is something missing in the report that they do not ask for more information away and tossed away. I really do not know, but it is shocking to see endgame gather bots keep doing gathering and crafting despite being reported over and over again. You being on Cactuar, I assume you know that well and thus the reason you came to post this.

For those replying to my post, I see that as "semantics" argument to defeat my point. I will try this make this as simple as I can. Regardless of what is being referenced in that quote, the base is that he is aware of the concept of " if we were to do the same thing all over again, a lot of people would get tired of it" then why are they COMPLETELY copying HW, reskinning it, pasted it with calling it "SB" ? You can say this is HW 2.0.3.35 .. not "Stormblood"

The way you progressed ARR relic and HW relic has a greater difference then the complete HW to SB expansions do. (Ill give the very first and last stages was pretty copy/paste though)

In your quote they specifically stated that the base of the game wont change. I see what you are talking about but, again, you are talking it out of context. The core of the game is the ilev grind and structure, they have a proven formula for delivering the basic content, this copy paste of content reduces dev time spent on the basics and should allow them to be more free to experiment, (all this is in theory). I'm not saying I agree with it or like it but I also dont care. Its the story mode, they were talking about side story mode.

You would have a better argument for your side if you were to bring up the mission statement they have worked by since the relaunch. Making the whole game accessible to everyone. That is causing more issues that just the format of their patches. This mindset has restricted player choice in job creation, the removal of the elemental wheel from all but Eureka, the quick, easy, catch up for tome gear, uninteresting gear stats, faceroll-ability of 90% of this game, and now even jump potions.

You complain about the copy paste of content but there is something to be said for knowing what you are getting yourself into. Look at Pokemon and how popular those games are with each new installment being basically the same game with maybe 10 new monsters. The core of the games are the same but people love the shit out of them. Thats the other issue, if they were copy pasting fun and exciting content, i dont think any of us would have as many issues as we do.
