the current option two still gives people the opportunity to go where they want. if your friends are so close to you then youd follow them and theyd follow you. neither 2 or 4 are much different, you will still lose friends that want to transfer servers either way.
so is the best decision to now allow any server transfers? i dont get it!!!
Let it go already, do you not realize this thread was made before Yoshida presented options, or ended up basing their new plans on the option that most of us wanted?

I actually won't lose any friends this way, because I don't know anyone that wants to transfer servers on Selbina. However, I always supported the option of transfers for those who did. I just didn't want everyone to be forced out of their server and have to scramble to attempt to stay together. Not to mention all of the people who don't have an active sub who would come back to the game on a new random server.

It was a pretty reasonable argument, and one shared by the vast majority of the community. Yoshida saw how many people were upset, and apologized saying he didn't realize how upset it would make people. All of this happened in the days after this thread was made.

"wtf is wrong with you?" Do you people have some kind of sycophant rewards system going? Get over it, some people were upset we made our criticisms well known, and they listened. My OP might have been a little harsh (though it should be obvious to anyone that it was not dead serious... who would call someone a "Noob" with a straight face, honestly), but that doesn't give you people a free pass to flame others simply for having a complaint.


You know what I think Yoshida did? Exactly what he said he did, he heard complaints even from his own team against option 4 but at the last minute decided to go with it anyways. He sees now that maybe he should have based it more off of option 2, and so now he is back to the drawing board.

I also don't really think Yoshida hates linkshells or I wouldn't play, since community is why I play I think the real reason we have the primal loot system is that it works better as a time sink. But I wish they'd just admit that, because it does make them look like they don't care about linkshells when the stories they make up to justify their decisions all demonstrate little concern for the wishes of linkshells who play this game/content together.
