Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

[Alleo]

So many off topic posts x). Maybe if mounts have so much to discuss it would be better to open up their own topic?

Anyway:

I honestly have not pity for the devs about the questions and I find it a bit rude to react so much to them. Maybe some of those that post questions, that have been asked for more often, are from new people or they believe that they are not answered enough? Either choose different questions or just give us straight answers. If you dont want to do Ishgard housing just say no. They knew for quite some time that people wanted housing there and said that we cant have them now because a war is still going on..thus people believed that this means that we will get them after HW. Yet instead of giving us housing there (or at least apartments) they just jumped straight to Shirogane. And now suddenly a new housing district is difficult to do...then why not serve the long time wishes for Isghard first? (Which would make sense since we greatly helped them) Heck they could have even just introduced personal instanced housing there..So for me its no wonder that such question are often asked..and reacting to that in the way Yoshida does is imo not that professional.

Exactly. In fact, most people on the official forum most certainly love this game, whether they criticize it or defend it.

In my posts, I can be really cynical toward S.E., sometimes showing disappointment for the direction the game is taking, or even showing hostility toward Eureka for what it is, but I still love this game and hope the better for it.

And I dare say that if someone really hated FFXIV, or didn't care enough about it, this person probably wouldn't be here posting in the first place.

I 100% agree with that. I care for FF14 even if I complain a lot. If I completely hated it or dislike it I would simply stop playing the game. (Because why would I pay money for something that I truly dislike?) I just see that it has a lot of potential and at the same time I get the feeling that the devs wont change it much for whatever reason thus I let my voice be heard quite often because I really hope that I wont have to leave the game behind. (And if the continue to do so in 5.0 and their patches I will be gone) Its quite funny..I had a ingame friend that never liked to listen to any negative word about the game. And yet I am still playing while that person just left and might not come back ever again.
