I've been shot down with this same excuse many times, and it gets old. It's unfortunate that we can't have a free expression of ideas without baseless claims overwhelming the logs. How do we even know what is worth the resources? How do we even know which team works on which aspects of the game and how much their current workload is stressing them relative to other departments?

blah

Also the rampant defense of Yoshida if you ask for anything.

Feedback is so important.

This is the killer, even when he says it's broken or not what they had intended people jump to defend the broken thing because well ... I have no clue why people defend those things. I think it's absurd when I read, "I don't like the feature or how it works but I don't think anyone should open their mouths about it because we shouldn't give feedback." or "It's not a great idea but I'm all for supporting this thing i don't really want to see." or "I hate that but I think it should stay because I don't want to hurt someones feelings."

We don't need to bash what's being done ever but a bit of healthy constructive feedback should be encouraged not bashed for no reason.

Update: My Iffy get nothing night is going perfectly so far, wins no drops lol

The XIV forums don't work like that. Me and some other guys asked for an option to have higher quality textures in 2.0, and we got told we were wrong.

I dunno.
They fixed the whole server merger issue before it began, the dumb color coded stat bonus feature, and fixed and apologized for a misleading translation flub. And all because people on the forums spoke up.

Ok so I opened WoW for 30 min stood in front of the AH watched trade chat to see if there was any good pick up groups to join and while waiting around I noticed 0 people spamming jump. I did see people jump as they went up the stairs, which isn't even required but imagine that 0 people sitting there spamming jump.

Some people on this forum get worked up over nothing. Games that have jump rarely have people sitting there spamming it all day.

Nope, the ones that says people jumps all the time probably never played WoW or games with jumps, latest game with jumps is GW2 if you want to check how many ppl jumping around, only used to jump on obstacles.

It was one of many reasons the game was unbearable. If you think its okay to just leave it out AGAIN, be ready for another disaster, a disaster which you can credit to the white knights and people living in the past. Only this time it would be worse.

"Squeenix STILL didn't add jump!? WTF is wrong with them?!"
"Well you see, we had these people on the forums who said it was annoying..."
"No excuses. 4.0. AGAIN"

You guys have absolutely no scope for the competition. You need jump. Bitching about it isn't going to help. Bitching about a toggle isn't going to help, and will just make the game stupid.

I'm all for jumping, but your reasoning is ridiculous.

Am I wrong then? You think it will be okay when every other game has jump, and FFXIV still doesn't have jump after getting criticized for it at the initial launch?

Yes, because FFXIV is sticking to high fantasy low tone realism. The armor, the weapons, the world, the mobs, the spells, the abilities, the emotes. It all has a very solid and firm feel to it. They've spent a very long time making the World carry weight and it is going to be obliterated, dragging through the streets by its intestines, and burned because Jumping in any sensible fashion is going to either be over the top. Or so close to reality that is won't be useful. Christ man! Is it so hard to accept that this game is one a single plane? That we don't have flying mounts or can jump off mountains and hang air for 3 minutes until we reach the bottom?

And being unable to get past a one foot high wall because you can't leave the ground, that fits with low tone realism?
