Dev Harassment is concerning

[Norwynn]

I don't understand this concept of "devs slave away to make this game for us". We pay them for it. This game is incredibly successful and has been so for a decade. They make a shitload of money out of it. They sell a ton of housing items for real money in their cash shop. So when a system that was a highlight of their expansion marketing and a highlight of their 6.1 patch marketing, that uses a lot of the items they readily accept your real money for from the Mogstation, simply does not work, people should just be all, "Oh well, they worked hard at it"? I understand telling people to not go over the top with their feedback, that is just normal human expectations. Yeah, there will be plenty of asshats who take it too far, but making a forum post saying, "Don't be mean" isn't really accomplishing much other than farming for a few likes and upvotes on the internet. When you release something broken, there will be pushback. The devs aren't "slaving away" for free just to put a smile on your face or some nonsense.

A wise man once said: Working hard doesn't mean working smart.

In any case, yeah, I agree. This is not a F2P game, it's a sub based game and we paid for the sub on top of the expansion along with other cosmetic stuff from the Mog store, we have all the rights to express our opinion. Those who doesn't think so need a reality check.

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.

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 !

“We have to send death threats or they’ll become Wow ):”

This is ridiculous.

Nowhere did he say to react with death threats. You guys love to twist everything to fit your narrative.

You certainly do act entitled, yes.

But to be less snarky, you can voice your displeasure productively which has a better chance of leading to a better product with changes by the FFXIV that does care about its players
Or you can rage and act spoiled and any decisions made because of that (if any) are more likely to come from square enix who doesnt care about you at all.

Healer mains have tried voicing complaints about constant dumbing down, lore being gutted, 1spam being boring, etc etc kindly and """"productively""" for years and look where that has gotten us.

"rightfully complaining" man chill out. it gets refunded???? you have nothing to complain about so you choose the dumbest things imaginable this is ridiculous.

[Blackmagebro]

you can conduct it to the garbage can where it belongs

[Blackmagebro]

why do you care so much about the wording?

[Blackmagebro]

Square does not make the game....

I'm glad you are following your own advice, Blackmagebro.

Please engage with the post in a genuine manner or refrain from misinterpreting my words. Reasonable means is what I said.

Well to be honest a lot of people are acting like wild animal and there is nothing that justify this.

Not talking about the overexagerated negativity but more about the insult, physical and death threat : being angry explain but doesn't excuse any of this.
