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

Once again, you are highly coping

FFXIV isn't failing right now no matter how much some like to say it is. There are no massive financial and publicity disasters like 1.0 had. If it was in any danger, we'd be seeing them scrambling to get more player feedback on changes needed. They aren't.

Of course it aint failing finance wise, have you seen the mog shop ? The prices are increasing more and more and stuff is put on there more and more regularly, so of course their finances have no issues, they make up for the player losses with more mog shop items.

We know they pay attention to some NA and EU content creators. We know they pay attention to Twitter X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. There are probably some other sources they watch as well. Get your voice heard where they're actually listening.

If they paid attention to twitter, they'd know that their game only gets attention thanks to gposers that are using heavily modded characters, not for any of the content they put out, but I guess that's the image they want to have to new players ?

Also stop with this "yeah just unsub it will do something if we all unsub", nah it wont, because of people like you and many others, there is always a defense brigade ready to blame the players instead of the company, and in the worst case scenario, if they were in deficit finance wises due to massive amount of people unsubbing, they'd just bring out more mog shop stuff (which is basically what they've been doing lately, also increasing the price of mounts and glams), the second an item is out, people RUSH to buy it on the store, even multiple times for their alts since a lot is single character only, no matter what it is, if they like it even just a tiny little, they will buy it anyway, just because it's SE that is putting it out, hell if they brought up a $500 plushie of gra'ha eating the taco, people would literally fight "a la black friday" just to get one if the sales were physical.

The point is that FFXIV players have standards so damn low that nothing actually phases them, and it's really mindblowing to me, they could release a turd mount for $50, people would buy the hell out of it because it has sparkle on it.

No, actually she's just telling straight facts you simply don't like to hear.

It's gaining players, too. At every step of the way, FFXIV has continued increasing the size of its playerbase with each successive expansion compared to prior ones. For example, if you look at the active playerbase at Patch 2.4, Patch 3.4, Patch 4.4, etc., there's a steady increase, with EW featuring the highest population to date.

If they paid attention to twitter, they'd know that their game only gets attention thanks to gposers that are using heavily modded characters, not for any of the content they put out, but I guess that's the image they want to have to new players ?

Now this is "copium" if I've ever seen it.

ok buddy

enjoy coping

also lol @ thinking I'm coping when I say that the game's image on twitter is literally gposers, go and take a look for yourself.

I just opened the page with the FFXIV hashtag, and so far 95% of the tweets are of modded characters. (and like 50+% are NSFW)

Because that's what some people do. They have access to more money than consumer sense.

Have you never left the inside of your FFXIV houses to learn about people in all their variety? Are you really that sheltered even in your real life?

You throwing mocking comments around won't change things. Your opinion means nothing to those you mock nor does it mean anything to SE.

Your money, however, does mean something to both of them.

If you're enjoying it, then please do go on financially supporting things as they are.

So ? What does that prove exactly ?

Sadly I have, there are times I wish I'd stay in my houses, because the community in this game is something else, thankfully there are quite a lot of good people out there, also I aint sure why we are bringing my real life into this.

I am not quite sure how me saying you're coping is "mocking" you but sure ?

No it does not, and I mentioned why above.

If you're enjoying it, then please do go on financially supporting things as they are.

I will, thank you.

You are coping if you think SE sees that as a bad thing.

Corporations welcome free publicity on social media.

No it does not, and I mentioned why above.

Except it does mean something to everyone.

Thank you for your support.

That's exactly what I said ? I said that they embraced that image ?

If they paid attention to twitter, they'd know that their game only gets attention thanks to gposers that are using heavily modded characters, not for any of the content they put out, but I guess that's the image they want to have to new players ?

Also you are most welcome, and it doesnt mean anything to anybody, I dont think anybody cares about me being subscribed to the game or not, but sure.

Pretty sure the reason gposers were brought up, is the fact that a huge number of them are extremely dirty.

No sane company wants their PG13 game to be represented by porn.
