Why does Yoshida hate linkshells/communities?

[Murugan]

It is obvious.

• The personal loot system (reasoning because groups(linkshells) "pressure" people to give away items)
• Server transfers over merges without even allowing players who are inactive to remain on the same servers as their linkshell

My conclusion Yoshida got booted from some LS for being a total noob in DAoC or whatever MMO he played, and now as a director is taking it out on all linkshells.

Thanks a lot Yoshida you screwed us once again! Way to stick it to those linkshells!



Less than 48 hours later:

As of the last official word from SE:

Greetings all,

Yoshida's most recent post lets players know the current plan for the World Merge.Quote Originally Posted by Naoki_Yoshida View Post

I’d first like to thank you for all of your posts.
I’ve been looking at the threads across all regions and I’m sorry that this has caused a huge disturbance amongst each of the regions.

Currently, we're seeing a lot of feedback that favors plan ②, and we're considering revisions that use plan ② as a base while retaining the merits of plan ④. The operations and development teams will continue to gather everyone’s feedback while we investigate further. This is also a technical matter and we also need to confirm schedule timing, so I’m sorry to say that we’ll need some additional time and that this will continue through the weekend and into the start of next week.

For the Topics announcement, we considered temporarily taking it down, but we decided against that as we feared that if players were unable to see the information, you wouldn’t be able to discuss it with the same background knowledge. Therefore, we’ll be keeping the current announcement up as we go into next week.

Just to reiterate, there are a lot of players that are voicing their concerns, and we will strive to find an acceptable balance as much as possible before moving forward. Therefore please keep this in mind and try to understand our reasoning.

Plan 2 is:

A + B - X ⇒A World to merge with B World, except people that would like to move are able to choose a different World.

Which is what most of the people have been asking for here.



End Individually Locked Loot Lists for new endgame raids in Patch 1.21 March 2012! Do right by the linkshells/communities.

Not quite how I feel, but this server merge is retarded.

[Amherst]

Eh. 5/10. Probably wouldn't read again.

[Onji_T]

LOL, just pick a server with your linkshell it's absolutely easy.

[Sophia]

The merge is going to happen like how it's laid out or not we will all just have to deal with it .... or rage quit

What if I have friends... that aren't in my linkshell. @_@

And what if... they're in a linshell too?!

What if... you're not the only one in your linkshell with that problem, so they won't move together just for you..


nahhhhhh.

It is obvious.

• The personal loot system (reasoning because linkshells "pressure" people to give away items)
• No voice chat (because linkshells pressure people to get on them)
• Server transfers over merges without even allowing players who are inactive to remain on the same servers as their linkshell

My conclusion Yoshida got booted from some LS for being a total noob in DAoC or whatever MMO he played, and now as a director is taking it out on all linkshells.

1.) So what?
2.) They do. I hate having to turn off my music just to listen to people chatter and/or tell me what I already know about any given fight. My vent has always been muted 90% of the time during my six+ years of raiding in WoW.
3.) You'll get over it.

Yoshi couldn't have screwed you any worse than you would've been if he hadn't taken over.

1. So because Yoshida got his feelings hurt for ninja'ing some drop, the rest of us aren't allowed to share the loot we earned together.
3. You should get over being on Soronia and just reroll, not demand they mess up Selbina.

Or you know they should just merge servers like any reasonable development team would do.

[SirOleas]

Server merging procedure is not going to change.
Threads trying to claim Yoshi-P hates his source of income are not going to change that.

Remember kids: Rippy the Razor says up the trail not across.

Wow what a brilliant argument.

I don't think Yoshi hates his job, he obviously just has very little concern for in-game communities. Like you. Some us in the human race genuinely enjoy doing things with others and form this thing called connections which we don't necessarily want to see be discarded with no good reason.

I guess you wouldn't understand any of that, because you can just force your 2-3 friends or linkshell to come with (and if they don't, or if they aren't playing right now well "screw them they don't mean anything to you anyways". Did I get your perspective about right?
