what did bother me more than nft... is hearing from the president of a company that develop and edit videogame this:
"i realize that some people who "play to have fun" and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandbly so. however, i believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to "play to contribute" by which i means help make the game more excitling"

i know SE is making money, that something we can't ignore... but where we need nft for help to contribute? every player of FF14 contribute to help the game to become better... by paying subs. a lot help more do contribute by renting more servant and some even contribute more by purchasing stuff on the mogs station (i'm part of the last group when i see something i want).

worse, since when player alias customers, need to work for help the company to create stuff to sell. is not our task... our task is purchasing a good for enjoying it... that the goal of every customer of FF14.... not the majority... i don't see anyone paying a subs to a game for not having fun... anyone spending money on a videogame is for "play to have fun".

i will be blunt, i found this letter insulting to every customer of SE, not only FF14. the president did try to sell us something we never ask for and try to force us to purchase it by wanting to add it to them IP. worst the president was looking down (almost being rude) by saying what he have said... he seems to know more about us than ourself. he seems to know what we want? he seems to know what is good for us... don't it remember you someone else? a certain developper of another mmorpg that did come saying "you don't know what you want"

the simple fact to place in quote "play to have fun" feel like we are degenerate that are not with the trends... and are polluting the game. while not contributing to the game.... when every player of this community is already doing... we are playing to have fun and contributing to make the game better... by paying subs, purchasing optional stuff and even coming to this forum to share our thought and experience for improve the game.

honestly, i feel this letter was worst than the launch of the V1. because not enough to redo the same error of the past... they are looking down on us, insulting our intelligence and passion for this game...

we don't need nft, we don't need something that have nothing to bring to our game... exept make us pay more. and more important we need apologies for this "letter".

i will finish by this... most trend are not great, and honestly until a month at best i didn't even care for this sort of stupidity.
