Why this Live Letter Matters

[Y2K21]

Borderline?

I think he is honest in his posting, but the problem is his method and his wording. A lot of times it comes off too grandiose and nitpicky (Graha Burger moments).

[SannaR]

And yet he rarely bothers to respond to anything himself, despite how many people speak up for him all the time. It's kinda hilarious, really.

And yet I'm fairly positive he once said that he didn't need anyone to defend him. Only for you know... weakest are the ones where they're all what's wrong with asking for changes or to give valid concerns? While ignoring that he wouldn't get so much flak if the way he presented it didn't come off as my opinions are fact and only my opinions matter. Stop acting like Commissioner Gordon from 60s' with their red special red phone.

[SannaR]

Nah, then these forums are boring to read through - just because people dislike some guy borderline shitposting on forums.

They wouldn't be boring. We would still have a certain other troll to posting questionable threads and necroing others.

From all of your posts that I have seen in the last few days; I've been lurking and wow, I can tell you have likely never stepped foot into a raid when its relevant or at all. Gearing can be grueling, swapping jobs or playing alts is prohibitive and highly restrictive until two, sometimes three months in—despite the fact that's what most raiders want to do. This change will facilitate their ability to play as multiple roles or jobs within their group, which will ultimately lead to them playing more, not less.

Until you've been in a group and not gotten the drops you need for 5-6 weeks straight, you have no right to comment on the savage loot changes.
This has been requested for years, not to play the game less, but to make it easier for people to play and experience the game and its content on more jobs.

Unless you were involved in raiding, however, you would not understand why or how this has been a problem since the game's inception.

I too lurked before I started posting here, and from what I've seen of Stormpeaks the only thing they actually do actively in FFXIV is housing. This I find on its own to be kinda funny, but it becomes even more so when you realize that it means they're absolutely shackled to FFXIV despite all the negative attitude they have towards it because otherwise they'd lose their house(s). It really is the sunk cost fallacy in action.

And the reaction of the usual white knights defending the lack of content in this game

"yesssssss finally i dont have to play the game and i can play all my other games ! thank you yoshi P you always create amazing content and you never disappoint !"

FFXIV could shut down and those people would praise the decision with this response lol

You mean where you had three threads being barely interacted with nothing else? Riveting.

The chaos has always been more entertaining.

Feast was FOMO too. At least they've stated that they've a mind to bring back Malmstone rewards for Crystal Trophies down the line. That said, they really should give a more solid date on that. Not fond of the item enchantment thing they're thinking of now. It's like they realized the Feast way of handling things was far from ideal, stopped it for a few patches and then went "let's try it again." Admittedly, a particle effect is minor, but it's still something and it's probably just the start, unfortunately.

There's also the fact that you can't try to make reason with him without his groupies showing up to defend him. You'll get like 3-5 people trying to defend him or badmouthing others. It gets to the point where everybody notices he is the focal point of everything, and thus the main person everybody dislikes since almost every big argument, every big point of negativity or flame war, seems to start with him.

Tis why half the threads here now look like this to me - and no Stormpeaks, I don't need you to ask or have yours or anyone else's permission to post on a public forum lol:

Man, this may be unrelated to the OP or the thread but, this Zephyr guy is just sad.

I'm quite a happy person. Not reading mindless drivel from troll posters increases my happiness. Thank you for your concern though for my happiness, I'm touched.
