World Transfer Applications Begin (03/01/2012)

[twili]

I can't believe I logged in and was told all the servers were full. That is a total lie. And the customer support is no help they are rude and basically said thats the way it is. The only one not full was the european server they created. NA players get screwed thanks Square

Part of me wishes that option 1 would happen, but then I took a Balmung to the knee and decided to stay.

FFXIV is a self-perpetuating lesson in dissapointment.

As usual I am 100% dissatisfied with BS like this.

Why even have a server change feature when SE already nearly capped every server?

So we all wasted our time debating over an option to later find it is offered without even a feasibly calculated overhead implemented which thus rendered it futile...

...not to mention that the transfers were activated at a time when the majority of the NA populace was asleep...

Genius strikes again. Granted some will and most likely already have voiced that they personally could care 2 f@cks less about the option to change servers.

Is it really about personal opinion at this point?

How about the issue of these types of oversights being common place nearly every step of this MMOs existence?

... Oh well things always get better eventually, right?... Right?

P.S. Everyone still playing ffxiv (myself included obviously) is knowingly or unknowingly daily practicing a well known spiritual concept called "Faith" by some and "Hope" by others :3

Anyone who thinks this is "the community's" fault is seriously white knighting. What has happened here is just another example of bad moves by SE. If you did not expect this to be a total mess whatsoever, no one can help you!

Are you kidding me?

No I'm not kidding you. You are going to blame the players for having an opinion? On a forum setup to discuss our opinions? SE should be at fault for listening then because they have the final say. What you're saying is SE is off the hook for:

- Generating different options (and initially proposing the dumbest one btw)
- Not realizing that certain options were not really feasible
- Being guilty of giving stupid people what they want
- Beginning this at some weird hour of the night for a lot of people
- Being generally unprepared for any of this crap.

We're paying customers. We clamor for "what we want" (or at least the vocal minority do), and you're gonna blame SE's incompetence on us? That's a joke if I've ever heard one. Perhaps if SE had some kinda clean track record when it came to these kindsa things I could chuckle a bit, but we all know that's not the case. This is a cluster**** as only SE can deliver, period.

Lol, SE's "incompetence"....Yoshida decided on an option that worked out the best even if it may split off some people, players cried "nononono unfair to the inactive people and my friends who may not play!" SE listened to those cries, which is as you said, the point of these forums, then SE used the option that was more likely to create a mess, which hey look at that, a mess was created.

They weren't unprepared, they were well prepared for merging servers. Players just didn't like what they planned to do so you can't in any shape or form blame SE for this when it was the players who wanted them to change the way they did the merging.

We're paying customers but we're not always self-entitled to everything.

Yes, I blame anyone who is ignorant to the facts spouting off opinions and demands. It is the cause of most of the world's problems. Shortly followed by the customer is always right mentality.

It went down like this.

SE announces the right choice.
Players form lynch mob.
SE gives in and gives players exactly what they want, the wrong choice.
Players come back and complain that SE gave them what they wanted once they realize what their choice actually meant.

Do I blame SE for that? Why would I? Why would you?

P.S. The "dumbest one" as you put it is exactly what you now want and are complaining about not having.

This forum is full of derp today and I love it.

actually the whole reason for the change was due to the JP complaining

Oh, that's right. English speaking players had NOTHING to do with this at all...
