Things SE Unnecessarily Did [List]

[Soge01]

1. Purposely keeping PLD, WAR and DRK unbalanced when they could have been easily balanced at the launch of Stormblood. Also, removing some of DRK's more usual abilities behind that move selecter thingy all tanks have access to.

2. Not treating SAM or BLM as selfish damage dealers and stupidly flip flopping around or plain ignoring their stats to the point where both MNK and RDM can out damage them.

3. Not unlocking Hilda or Lyse's hair for us to use for our characters.

4. Not auto tucking long hair within or behind large collars and whatnot like they did with hats.

5. Not keeping old dungeons, raids and boss fights relevant. It's just a waste of data that's just piling up the more people beat and never play them again. Like Bahamut Coils or Alexander.

Well...
There was changes to that in 4.3...

Which doesnt address the elephant in the room; unable to use partychat in solo queue feast matches. Chances are you are using discord or literally any voice-ip program to communicate instead of using clunky chat macros mid fight.

Perform.
I know some people love and have fun with it. But since the question is "uneccesary", they took time developping that feature, but justified themselves for not fixing other feature they "don't have time".

A few of the more problematic things at the top of my mind:

- Introduced cutscenes in dungeons. Because there are absolutely no problems to be foreseen there.
- Gated storylines behind early solo instances.
- Diadem. All of Diadem.
- Blocked /tells within instances.

And, next, an absurd thing:

- Introduced all manner of ridiculous flying mounts, while still arguing that certain mounts can't fly because they'd have to come up with an animation.

Oh, one more: a 1000-character limit on forum posts that can be evaded entirely by editing a post after the fact. Seriously, SE. What the hell.

Add to that the daily post limit. It’s hard to carry on any sort of on-going/intense discussion when you are limited to just 20 posts per day.

Locking new hair behind pvp and lord knows what else since we don't know when the other new hair will be available, and not giving us anything else to compensate for it.

PvP needs incentives, though. Ideally the sort that everybody can access rather than a select few.

Honestly I wish they'd add more. PVP is fairly interesting to me and I wish I had more reason to do it without having to brave insanely long queue times. Especially when those queue times often lead to me ending up in an 8-man alliance for things like Frontlines. 8 man Shatter is something I'd rather never experience again if I could help it.

still won't make me PVP. everyone having access to, and everyone doing are two different things. a lot of my friend group cringes and curls their nose when "pvp" comes up. it's not for everyone and adding these items don't make...people want to do it more. those people that don't like pvp aren't going to start playing because of "new goodies" exclusive to PVP.

Lots of people do PVP for the rewards though?
Everyone can access rewards from Ultimate trials and raid content but not everyone is going to do that either so I really don't understand your point on that.

Back on topic:
These forced UI elements for each job are honestly just annoying, most of the jobs don't need them and it just feels forced.
