Dev Harassment is concerning

[KariTheFox]

The developers are aware of the issue, and aware that people are rightfully upset about it. I really fail to see how piling on additional vitriol and personal insults towards the developers is supposed to accomplish anything.

It doesn't, but these are the same people that scream bloody murder because they're hidden behind a screen. Anonymity can get you that far, I say such people should get perma banned.

Businesses in the US have a habit of appeasing that kind of behavior because they see it as a shortcut for getting more likes on social media which ultimately just gets more people to behave like that.

Sure, it's a domino effect. Valid criticism is perfectly fine, sending death threats to anybody, let alone the developers, is not. Just shows how people really are in this so called "wholesome" community in this game. It's hypocritical.

Not to mention it drags down valid criticism. The housing situation is a mess. But the devs know it, and are actively working to fix the problem as they should!

Death threats meanwhile hurt everyone. The players who are shit out of luck and the devs.

my (at least to me) valid criticism is this shouldve been tested thoroughly before being made live, maybe they didnt have enough time and were under the gun with pushing back the release of EW, and didnt wanna be compared to WoW with pushing back release after release, and thats fair, but the opposite is also true, we'd rather have things working as intended than things rushed out before they are 100% ready, right?

there are those saying there should be rollbacks and no, that will anger those that actually did win, others saying we should go the way of other mmos with instanced housing, to those i say if you want that play those, the reason housing is the way it is here is for the neighborhood/community feel so people interact more and more outside of dungeons/raids

what i think would be the best is just to unlock the fc wards after fixing the bug an let those that didnt get houses (and maybe have 8-12 wards or so still restricted to FC for any possible FCs that were locked out) in the end there really arent enough plots to meet the demand, and they know it, so we will likely see another increase in over all wards at a later date, whether it will be lottery or the old system is up for debate

The thing is, none of us know this wasn't the case
I 100% understand why people jump to this conclusion, as it seems like this is something that should not have happened

But it is possible to thoroughly test something only to have a completely unforeseen thing come along

As far as MMORPGs go, FFXIV is not typically a game prone to major bugs. While its entirely possible that something slipped by that should have been caught with an appropriate amount of testing, there isn't concrete evidence of this.

And even if it is the case, if they properly fix it, give people their right lottery results, and most importantly ensure this isnt a pattern of severe bugs then its not a big deal.

They aware of the issue and what they do about it ? Nothing . Housing is a nothing new , they just make it worse
They might say that they gonna work on it , after 3-5 year they'll might create half finished new system and call it a day.
If we not gonna breath on their neck - they wont do a thing and bunch white knights defending them wont fix a problem - they are part of problem.
I would personally put a billboard on the front of SE saying : FIX EARLES HROTHGARS AND BROKEN HOUSING SYSTEM !
