If you're unhappy with this game then unsub... forever.

Anyone else remember when Yoshi P himself said this?

We remember. We remember a time when CBU3 would reflect on their past mistakes and learn from them.
How the world has changed in 10 years.

We remember. That dev team is gone. At least in spirit. When Yoshi-P arrived at the scene of 1.0, he decided to take a risk and destroy the entire world to start from the ground up, rather than trying to salvage what was left. He went with a completely different formula from the old school FFXI and brought his vision to the table. Can anyone imagine him or the devs doing anything like that now? He can't even deviate from his precious tomestone formula. They have become complacent in their success, like many companies. They must ask themselves why take any risks at all when the playerbase is staying. Unhappy perhaps, but staying and paying all the same. Their endgame formula of the tomestone/book grind has not changed in 10 years, but their attitude towards the playerbase and willingness to engage with them certainly has. I have to wonder if the devs themselves have any love left for this game or if it has waned after these 10 years.

Monetization has nothing to do with whether a game is fun. It influences what you're willing to pay.

Did you... not even read the post of mine that you responded to? The one which directly outlined how monetization is directly affecting the player experience and entertainment factor?

I also don't see how it's ruining player experience and entertainment factor in the least. I would more think the myriad of venue shouts and ads in pf would ruin the entertainment factor over an optional item not even needed to be purchased to play lol.

I think thay whole part is probably you guessing or hanging with a group of likeminded individuals who make up such a small percentage it's not funny.
