Square Enix respects my time

Who would win? The strongest Archdruid the world has ever known and his wife the living embodiment of a Goddess' Wrath.

Or a guy with a bow.

Omg this comment.... so pure!

I'm his worst nightmare.

Waiting with bated breath for the final showdown between WoW and PureMallace

Do all the work of defeating an omnicidal dragon-turned-sin-against-creation!

Kill-stolen by Green Jesus.

She loses that power.

I watched a vid recently on someone who left WoW for FFXIV. I did that a couple years ago as well, but they said one thing that has stuck with me especially after I realized the truth of it.

WoW, Blizzard, Activision... have done nothing to earn my money. And it has been a while since they have, and once I heard that, I realized how true it was.

In my view, always subject to change of course, but SE, despite things I would love to have changed in the game, certainly has. I remember my time in WoW with some fondness since back in teh day being able to do anything wasnt the same as having a second full time job, but those days are gone, and so am I from WoW. havent regretted it since

It is the games biggest competition. Pretending like it does not exist and constantly having to remind the children on this forum how bad it can get seems worth it. There is an ENTIRE thread below this one about DPS meters where Square Enix devs specifically base this MMO's policy on it from what they saw in WoW.

Yet they're willing to turn a blind eye to it as long as you don't talk about it in game...

Tbh it's good that they turn a blind eye to it so long as you don't flame ppl. As a mythic raider (even though I'm casual in ffxiv) I love improving my dps. I'll never flame someone for theirs, but without the capability to see my own improvement I'd be alot more distant from ffxiv.

But that's just my opinion

Policy and enforcement of the policy can differ slightly as long as it does not negate the policy altogether and there is still some deterrence effect in place.

The status quo seems to work well for FFXIV. If they feel they need to change it one way or another, then they will.

So what your saying is don't provide any criticism of this game because other games are worse. No thanks.

Hmm. I dont see anywhere in the OP post that they say these words.
Maybe your eyes are better than mine, please post the quote you are referring too.

I understand why Bellular would make a choice like this. I just cancelled my own WOW subscription, and I've played since Cata and have mostly liked the content that I've gotten, but Shadowlands was just an absolute letdown in everyway. Dull content, characters, and villains (the new villain is basically "I'm much cooler and better than the most iconic villain in the game, in fact we worked for me, really." You guys know this kind of character), unrewarding gameplay (you wouldn't believe how hard it can be to get a new weapon nowadays), constant repeatings of the same old thing each expac, along with other things I won't list here. But I just can't take it anymore. FF14 is my game now (along with SWTOR). I just don't feel like SE actually considers making this game an annoying bother.
