Getting out of hand

[negiman4]

This player base is getting out of hand...

Quit being so damn melodramatic. Everything you listed in the OP is nothing new and has been going on since ARR released. And the only reason people are concerned with CT becoming mandatory is because they think raids = super hard content and they think that super hard content should not be mandatory. This is problematic, of course, because alliance raids (24 man raids) are stupid easy. It's becoming mandatory because of how the MSQ now has a LOT to do with Crystal Tower. It makes sense. Crafting in MSQ does NOT make sense. Don't be ridiculous.

"The devs.... can't be bothered to make more content".

Lol WHAT?! The devs are CONSTANTLY adding new content to the game on a regular basis, every 3 months or so. GC ranks are irrelevant to the game, Battle leves are terribly designed and needed to be taken out a long time ago, also one dungeon per patch to make room for other, more engaging content. As if dungeons are the highlight of FFXIV, LOL! Just because they make content YOU don't like, that doesn't mean they aren't adding ANY new content like you're suggesting. They're adding tons of content, if you don't like what they add, that's your own problem. The rest of the playerbase is happy with the new stuff we're getting. If you just want more of the same, go play something else. Meanwhile, I'll take whatever new stuff the devs have in mind, as this game definitely needs to be kept fresh, or people will get bored with it.

Like is the game suffereing that bad that none of the jobs or classes are balanced or fun, they have to completely remake every job and class every expansion?

Lmao what??? This is normal, also mandatory, because if they didn't remake every job and class every expansion, we'd have crazy skill bloat. Too many skills, not enough room on hotbars for them. And I guarantee nobody has enough keybinds to utilize all 10 of their hotbars without clicking on them. So every expansion, they get revamped. Remember, people with controllers also play this game.

Are you a real person? Your thought process baffles me.

Its funny because its true. xD

Crafting revamp just made RMT bots job easier to earn GIL, and made it worse for all rest of players.
It was an ultimately unneeded and unfun thing they have implemented in the long time. Crafting is not fun, making gil is, but how in the hell are you going to make gil if the market if bloated with bots beating price on every single item?
The latest patches crafting based are complete waste of time and money, instead of more battle content 90% of players came for, nah lets make crafting for the niche minority that is doing it only for gil.
Also its really discouraging if you realize how much effort is being put in housing, instead of fixing viera and hrothgar issues, instead of giving us more hairstyles and upgrading the oldest character creator in mmorpg history how about you get some completely useless stuff into your house where you already cant place anymore items hmm?

Devs are doing everything in their power to not do stuff that majority is asking for, even fixing hilarious 2B glamour bugs took them a couple of months.

Just so you're aware, there's a pandemic going on right now, and while the devs by rights shouldn't be working on the game at all right now, they are doing it anyway. People really should stop being entitled, because they at least deserve a thank you.
Also, crafting is not niche. Everyone has access to it and unlocks it at some point. Leveling crafters is easier than ever before, maybe you should give it a whirl. I used to fucking hate crafting, but Ishgardian Restoration made it SO much more bearable.
I'm also of the mind that Viera and Hrothgar should be genderlocked, and they should not be a priority. Specifically because there's no male Viera in FFXII nor are there female Ronso in FFX, and there's reasons for that. You keep bringing up stuff that's, like, extremely minor. Like upgrading the character creator? Who is actually asking for that? Besides, they do add more hairstyles on a regular basis, don't know why you would think otherwise. Housing needs special attention because of how awful the market is.

I'm too new to really have much say in the content of the thread (Even though I've only been back for a couple days, I have seen a good chunk of gil sellers). But you come off as a bit aggressive, my personal suggestion, is fi you want people to take you seriously, and consider what you're saying, don't start off by insulting them.

Also, I'm pretty sure Square is having people work from home (Like most companies that are capable). Which has its issues, and is probably what is causing the delays. But its not like Square is putting people in danger, which is what your statement appears to be saying?

The former is only technically correct: There are no male Viera NPCs in Final Fantasy 12. However, they do explicitly exist in the Ivalice setting's lore.
The latter is absolutely false. Not only are there multiple female Ronso in Final Fantasy 10, but you can interact with them and even recruit some of them onto your Blitzball team.

If I were suggesting that SE was putting people in danger, I wouldn't be saying they deserve to be thanked, obviously. They are working from home. They are still working on the game for us, despite the hard times we're going through right now, and we should be grateful for that. That's all I said. If you take offense to anything I said, that's your problem, not mine. Besides, the post wasn't even directed at you.

Never said I was offended, or the post was at me. Just me saying that the way your posts are structured, pretty much would just irritate who you're talking to, instead of actually potentially persuading them to see things in a different light. In the end provide zero productive influence over the thread, instead just throwing gasoline on a fire.

As for Covid, I certainly hope they are working. They are lucky to be a technology based company, where they can continue to work and make money safely at home. I do not believe Japan is one of the companies that suspended mortgage payments/bills in general. Either way, Covid is not really a reason to stop any critique. It's not like the OP is demanding a resolution by next week.

-Forums.
The forums have almost always been pretty bad, but literally

Stop making them literally bad Daniolaut. You list yourself as a level 1. Play the game first, then talk about it.

Your notion that including a sassy quip in my post completely invalidates any real, productive points that I made is absolutely ridiculous. Again, if someone, regardless of who it is, chooses to only focus on mean words instead of actually take what is being said at face value, that's their problem. I had some real things to say, the fact that I was a little mean about it does not invalidate the rest of the post. Thanks

I agree that nothing gets done regarding RMT advertisements, such as the ones spammed in DF, but your delivery is awful.

I made the thread about raiding becoming less optional the OP is referencing. He’s right about all the semantics going on in that thread. It’s really stupid. Like arguing with a bunch of lawyers about what the word “is” is.

That said, I love this game (obviously) and this is one of the better communities I’ve been a part of.

The forums of any game are just weird. I made that thread knowing the kind of hate I was going to get. You just have to have a thick skin and understand that the forums represent less than 1% of the game’s population. Most people don’t post on forums anymore, especially with the advent of social media.

The in-game community is outstanding. The forum community is like any other. Kinda dumb.
