Current Problem Parallels

Which is even worse.

We either have

1) The B team effectively developing FFXIV

or

2) Only part of the developers attention. Probably less than half of it, most of the brainpower attempting to develop a brand new game.

Either scenario is really bad for FFXIV.

well if this is the work of the b team or only half their attention then their doing a damn fine job, can't even imagine what'd they'd do at 100%.

dayummm it really do look like they disposed of it lmao

Not for the reasons you're thinking. It was a paid stream. They're not going to just let that get posted around.

Your standards must be dead and buried six feet under, pft.

Sadly, unlike you, I respect myself. So I expect more from a rather expensive game to play.

If FFXIV is expensive to you, you don't have the financial stability to be playing it.

I’ve heard “take your money elsewhere if you hate it” or other variations of “if you hate it then why are you playing it” but this is the first I’ve ever heard “you’re too broke to play it” used to try to shut down criticism. For anyone who says the forums are a cesspool, the call is coming from inside the house…

At this point, all the things that were worth saying or typing for the matter, have been done already.
The question is, how do you know it reaches them when there's little to no activity from the other side?

It's just barking & fighting now and sadly seems like people enjoy fighting on the forums more than playing the game.

I see the usual strange attempts at gatekeeping and gaslighting are readily at play from certain segments of the community. Someone's forum join date is also separate to the date that their actual account was first made. I know people who were around in the days of 1.0 who only recently decided to say their piece on the forum.

I'm seeing a whole lot of babyrage malding going on. Guess that's what happens when you play a Lalafell. /s

Also hi, not everyone 'complaining' and seeing worrying connections between the Death by a Thousand Cuts of one game and this game are former WoW players. I ain't never touched it a day in my life, been here for years, but you don't need to have played WoW to research its slow, choking death and see worrying parallels with what FFXIV is currently going through.

Sorry if I was more interested in going after the end of the world rather than following the drama of a character who died in ARR

Drama? Again this was in MSQ, in ARR to be exact, the two of them were childhood friends.

She was Urianger's best friend, a mentor, one of the very few he allowed to get close. Anyone could see the guilt he had at not seeing her parents. terrified of what they would say..terrified they would blame HIM for her passing. saying that he could have saved her somehow.

Survivor guilt does that to you, you stay away from those they were close to, afraid they would lash out at you and hold you responsible, even if it wasnt the case. note in previous conversations he asks after them and is told they are absent..you can see the relief on his face, glad that for now, that meeting has been postponed.

Even if you know there was nothing you could have done, you still ask yourself "why am i alive", "how do i explain what happened to her, how do i tell them I was not there to protect her..how do i face her parents?"

Urianger was quiet, sensitive, the studious type that didnt make friends easily, and like many, did not want to admit his feelings for her, did not want ANYONE to know the grief he carried alone, he locked it inside and let NO ONE in.

You have no idea what that feeling is when that meeting is not one of recrimination, but love, understanding, forgiveness. Didnt you hear her mother, angry not at Moenbryda's death, but that her best friend and someone THEY LOVED had carried that burden for years, alone?

"If there was one thing we resented you for, it was that we could not be there to mourn her with you"

I guess you will never understand.
