Public Discussion: Community Feedback - Is it being heard?

[BrokentoothMarch]

As much as I mind your reasoning, I would like to ask you refrain yourself from being overtly abusive with your language. Calling someone a 'developmental failure' isn't something I'm about to let slide. You can name call all you like though, but it's not going to help you get your ideas to the side. Many, MANY people do not regard others who will speak like this in an abusive or downplaying manner, toxic positivity or no.

With all due respect, and I do mean this genuinely as you're one of the few people to actually keep civility in mind when engaging with me, I just don't think I'll be doing that. It's not lost on me how corrosive I'm being, but neither will I apologize, repent, or be sympathetic to those I fling said poison at. This has not been an occasional thing that hasn't gone my way in this game. This is an amazing piece of media I've invested a lot of time and money into. I was a healer main for years while having eyes only for AST.

I moved onto WHM. Certainly I'd find solace there.

Blue Mage is coming out? Along with Mimic, one of my favorite jobs. Mayhaps I'll find something there.

Okay, fine. I guess I get the hint that I should play a red icon. Samurai looks fun--

Tank... main?

This is all while ignoring my repeated failures to secure a house for almost a decade and, again, me taking extreme umbrage with Yoshi's comment on both that and the state of healers. And in the midst of all it, I don't find camaraderie here. I don't find sympathy or understanding. I find people who side with the insults and suppression of complaints, no matter how civil or gently placed they may be. I find little else than flagrant disregard because "Hey, as long as I got mine." While I hardly use this as justification for my increasingly venomous demeanor, I hope it instead comes as an understanding as to why it's happening. I mean hell, just here someone implied that developers would be in the right to spite a userbase they've been on record for insulting, ignoring, and even expressing disinterest in fixing ("We can't find a way to make healers good" despite having, well, a professional dev team which I would hope is at least semi-highly paid). Pleasantries ended a while ago. If I'm to be disrespected regularly by the community, then I feel no need to be friendly or kind to those I couldn't care less if they vanished tomorrow. Case by case, like present company, will warrant a more coherent and less ill-tempered answer. Not everyone deserves both barrels. But I am done entertaining those who would insult and suppress while expecting nothing but a smile in return. This is not a great community and I'm tired of pretending it is.

I understand the grievances you have with the development team and the game. Some of them I share since I've been healing for the past 2 Expansions. Of course, there are going to be people who are going to attempt to derail or simply insult others' opinions - whether they be constructive or not - because everyone's different. I don't mind inclusiveness, but there has to be a line that is drawn so as we aren't harming each other and our community with harmful insults or deprecative expletives. Some, like yourself, have a limit to the point they can't take it anymore, and that's fine. What isn't fine is not setting an example and simply taking it out on others to the point you're doing the exact same thing that you've seen in the first place. There's anger, annoyance. Something that Yoshida should see because we're discontent with what the Development Team has failed to do in the past few months since Endwalker's release, or even during Shadowbringers.

Typically, this thread was with all intents and purposes meant to serve as a way to express our grievances towards the Development Team and their lack of listening and discussion. There hasn't been an open discussion in years with Naoki Yoshida aside from FFXIV's Partners, such as MrHappy, Zepla HQ, MTQ, etc., who are all in line with keeping things positive and not bearing to express criticism. At times they have, but only in small ways that weren't broad strokes. Not to slander, but poking at certain things that get people's attention. They have asked sensitive questions in the Endwalker Tour because Healers have reached a boiling point, and it's going to boil over soon enough if things keep getting worse.

I doubt that these people will ever ask real questions since they want to be very nice (just like se whiteknights) and be part of media tour in future (more content for them). Im sure if they did asked about healers it was staged aswell.

FF14 going wow's route because of whiteknights defending SE at all cost.
