The Devs need a much needed thanks!

Keep feeding Silverbane as they keep on trolling to change the subject of this thread, well done

It pretty much follows a set pattern of: shove argument > proven inaccurate > get pedantic and/or; > gets on the high seat of "ignore personal attacks counterargument" > people get tired/confused > "yay I win! next!"

Pretty sure the mods have deleted last few of their exchanges a while ago though. Don't know why people kept fueling them lol. With that much derailment and having very little to add anymore, Idk why that mod didn't just lock the thread for good.

True, but when they bother with social media I don't think that's much better, if at all. lmao

Yeah. This is why I avoid engaging with them as much as humanly possible. Life's too short for that crap.

Why should I thank the devs when they can't get some concepts into this right. First is housing. It's dismal not much try and get yet every other MMO that is out there has gotten housing right upon release. UI needs a rework, graphics need a overhaul. Jobs are never balanced in every expansion. The list goes on. The devs are literally sitting at their desk scratching their heads and can't get these concepts right. Instead they give us a island sanctuary that is so overly boring and lackluster and wants us to be happy. I spit on them for this. How many years have they been working on it and still can't figure any of this out? FFXIV is more of a experiment because it feels like this is their first game and trying to figure out what they want. Tired of all these white knights defending them and this game knowing full well this game is far from perfect

Because getting "some" things the way you (or me) personally don't want somehow means they shouldn't be thanked for anything at all? I thank them because I thoroughly enjoy my time playing FFXIV. Every time I log in, I find I'm having fun, and even with limited playtime, I feel like I'm progressing a story and accomplishing something meaningful each day. It doesn't feel like an "experiment" at all. No game is ever perfect, but this one, frankly, feels darn close. The music is exquisite, the story has me engaged, I find the classes fun to play, people I play with are constantly doing things that I can join in on, and the list goes on. Yeah, the UI could use with a little improvement (the chat log in particular), but that doesn't somehow detract from everything else that rocks. What I'm tired of is people taking a video game ultra-seriously, then picking particular things they don't like and declaring the entire game objectively terrible because of it. It's such an immature viewpoint.

So your solution to make the game great is to have extra limited playtime so you can barely do anything at all and achieve anything, and that in your mind makes you feel "rewarded" and that the game is close to perfect ? This is the most delusional post I have seen on this thread

They don't need a solution, read what they wrote:

I mean if you dont do any of the content the game has to offer and then go on a thread and say "yeah the game is close to perfect you guys are just immature" that's a bit backward

Despite this last week and the amount of flak that they received, they work extremely hard to bring us a game that is much loved and enjoyed. The amount of hate I have seen this past week because a class can't do 1% more damage is absurd in the slightest, but then again that is only less than 2% of the community most likely complaining. Those that are complaining are the ones that have zero ideal what they are talking about and are only outcrying what their favorite streamer is telling them to outcry.

Again: Thank you Devs for bringing us an amazing game. I know mistakes are made, we are all human and you all do your best to fix it. I look forward to seeing what you bring in 6.25 and 6.3.

they have done a great job improving certain things but sure let us praise them and get them to feel like what the wow devs felt like and make them think they cant do anything wrong how did that go again bad content classes that were not balanced and oh the other thing that went to court because of what they were doing to the female workers ohhhhhhhh trust me the square enix devs are not snowflakes they can take some criticism
