The conpainon app

[Alleo]

The title itself does not guarantee the same amount of seniority as other people in the company sometimes. So, until he states directly that he kind of screwed up himself, I'm going to just generalize and say it's the people at the very top of the company itself that controls the shareholders, accounting, net gains, etc.

I think you might be right, but for me at least I dont really care if its Yoshida (I still have problems with his decisions about certain content) or higher ups. Such greedy actions make me sour towards a huge part of the company and really makes me question how much money I should give them. In the past I sometimes bought merchandise (like the carbuncles or the lore book) but right now I dont feel like they truly deserve it and wont buy the second book. Thus they lost income. Sadly as long as the income from the app or other parts are bigger than the loss we cant do much about it.

Also the problem is not always the amount of money it costs. If you have a normal income you will probably be able to spent the money on the app. But the problem comes with it being only the first step and that suddenly they are able to give us more space if we buy it. Thus why should they truly give us more space for free, if people are willing to buy it? And the sad part is, that there was already a sentence after they told us about the app, that pointed out that more might come in the future..so who knows what will be put behind the paywall later.

It's CEO greed, simple as that really.

Because it most likely out of Yoshidas control or decision to make the app in the first place. It probably higher ups pulling the strings, unless it common with this sort of schemes in japanese culture in a sub based MMO - I know it not too uncommon in all korean F2P games.

And why aren't more people speaking out on this? why are some accepting this? The thing is I do "speak with my wallet" I do not buy this overpriced crap, but that does not seem to be working.

I'm not accepting it. I will not pay nor use an app that I have to pay for when companies like Blizzard allow such things to be free to use by it player base.

And here a tip: the only way any of us are going to stop this is by talking with our wallets. We stop paying (and I mean everything, don't mean just this overpriced app), they start thinking (maybe... -deleted the rest before the ban hammer landed on my head-).

So who here is going to stop paying for their sub so SE get the hint?

Yeah didn't think so.

And thus, SE wins and still get their money and still keep making stupid things like this app just to grab more money out of the player base to put into other SE title games.

Edit - But to actually answer your question and I think you know the answer as well, there no point in speaking up these days. Just like with the housing situation, pagos, and everything else in between, it feels like a BIG waste of time. They aren't listening! We don't seem like valued costumers to SE. We try to get their attention here, we try on reddit, we try on twitter, we get met with nothing but feeling like we talk to a brick wall. And there only so much yelling the player base can do before they finally just throw their hands up and walk off and that what SE wants. It their way, or the highway, simple as that.

We did the minute it was mentioned, and the reaction in the English forum was largely "Thanks, I hate it"

You know what's going to happen. People will either accept what the app is and pay for premium (whether it's voluntery or no choice), or not enough players will sub to it and SE will have no choice but to take drastic action. Additional space should not be locked behind extra costs (unless it's a retainer) as everyone has been crying for more inventory for a long time, yet we get a saddlebag that is no good in instances....

I really hope SE pay attention to all the feedback they are getting about the app.

Only feedback from Japanese forum, as always

[Kuroka]

cause youre phone is not supported, just like my wifes... you may try install the apk directly,...

Some thoughts..

1. Chat only with other app users is severe limitation. SE missed the goalpost with that caveat.

2. User profile pages need to be expanded. Blog Entries, screenshots, there's so much they can do from what infrastructure already exists.

3. Market-Board Item Buy/Sell page should have the 'Wishlist' flag option so you can track a desired item. When Wishlist'd items are placed on the market board the app should send a push notification to your phone (assuming you have the app running and allow it to send notifications).

It's very much in a 1.0 state. Profile page is especially weak considering all the info at their fingertips from the lodestone API. MB has potential if they use the Wishlist feature as a tool to send notifications.

The app is pratically useless, I've deleted it from my smartphone already.
