Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Shurrikhan]

People who take off their gear to guarantee a crystal tower queue during alliance raid roulette deserve a 10 day ban, and the whole system should be changed so this can't happen in the first place. I loaded into syrcus tower yesterday and saw a naked "Perfect Legend" hastily reapplying his gear. There were no first timers. You thought no one saw you, but I saw you. We all saw you. God I wish they'd ban people who do this shit. Imagine queuing a roulette but getting the same thing every day. That's all of us, thanks to you.

Technically, that's snapshotted from the moment they hit the queue button. They don't need to reapply gear only upon entry. As such, it's every bit as likely you caught someone pulled out of their ERP session as having exploited the roulette.

I've been trying to do the level 70 raids for 3-4 days in a row, with multiple hour long queues right after daily reset. I'm not the only one trying either but we never seem to build up to 24 people.

Hot take and/or conspiracy theory but the housing system is complete ass in this game because it was the result of outsourced and/or rushed development. There are other early game systems, such as the inventory system, in which Square Enix will actually explain the technical issues and lay out why magically fixing the system isn't an straightforward as you might think. Then there is housing which gets stringed along with band-aid fixes and for the large party, they're not really honest with us about the challenges needed to do anything major.

This would explain why the housing raffle was broken on release, they're simply trying to work around an ARR-era code base that's a complete mess and cannot be fixed without replacing the existing system entirely or sacrificing content elsewhere (another expansion with one ultimate and no deep dungeon anyone?) Instead of being honest about housing, they say the bare minimum to string players along because that's the PR and bank account friendly thing to do.

Completely unrelated to this but I have some spare Tin Foil Hat (HQ) if anybody would like one

While the story is interesting the quests are extremely boring, repetitive and just eye rolling easy, like even the jobs you press like 2 or 3 buttons for the entire first 50 level, what is this 2007?

Blacklist is awful, you can't right click a person and ignore them easily like WoW has had for 10 years, yet the right-click functionality for RMT exists, so functionality is "half there" but they can't take a few days and extend it. So basically if someone is harassing you or just complaining in general, you need to deal with it the entire instance.

those fancy little links that display top values aren't the end all be all.

Armorer and Blacksmith should be a single class
