Should the devs appologise to the community

[sindriiisgaming]

Please try to leave constructive replies instead of just saying anything to be heard
I've been toying with this question in my mind basically since around 6.2 when it became obvious this game was'nt going to deliver any real of meaningful change.. seeing the clear nature of the cash shop and the exploitation in the games current content output vs what we pay our sub for, anbd ofcourse that 7.0 will be a min of 6months between patches of basically... nothing...

should the developers appologise for the state of the game?

and if not... what level of accountability SHOULD we hold them to? if any..

(ofcourse this is just a question i am not demanding this or that people do this so please read it properly before you start attacking me)

OP notes How do i delete this trash-fire thread lol

Yes. Each of them owe each of us an apology and a foot massage.

its ok to just say no. the theatrics are unnesscesary

What would they apologize for? They have delivered exactly what anyone who has been playing for multiple expansions can expect. How much you like that content is a your mileage may vary situation, but they have given us what they told us we were getting. If you want to hold SE accountable, the only tangible thing you can do is to unsub and deprive them of that money. Otherwise keep giving feedback to try and shape what the devs decide to give us for follow on expansions.

so we did actually get a 4gamer interview with a really concerning statement in it, and on the note of unsubbing, honestly.. if this is the stance they continue to take. i actually WILL be

"On Relics: "In the past, the idea was that it would be okay if you just made one job, and the time calculation for Zodiac Weapon was set at 120 hours, but now that the range and amount of content has expanded, there is less time to devote"

"If you plan to have multiple jobs produce items, it will take a toll on your inventory if you go around collecting special reinforcement items, and it will be difficult to tell how much you have strengthened. Therefore, we made it so that Allagan tomestones"

"young people who play online games these days choose not to play unless it is easily available. However, as I mentioned earlier, if players are enjoying playing multi-jobs these days, I think our game design should be designed to reflect that."

"On the other hand, there are also voices saying that they want enhanced content or exclusive content for weapon production. It's a voice that never existed before... However, in Bozja we created a system where weapons could be strengthened both inside and outside of the content, but in the end it came down to efficiency. For that reason, it is difficult to know what to do with the next series, but the fact is that many players have strengthened the Manderville Weapon this time to the highest level ever."

Good. I had a three year unsub break and came back. Before that was 2 years.

You know what I did in between? Played one of the other thousands of games out there. New people still flocked in and took my place.

It's unrealistic to expect this to be a second life. You all want houses and clubs and DJs and parties. It's a GAME! Done with the game? Move on. Nothing to do? Go OUTSIDE!

Never have I met a community so afraid to feel the rain.

Tldr of your post

"If you want more than a few days of content once every 5 or 6 months get a life"

News flash : even if people took a break for a year, there would be at most 2 weeks of content to do before running out of content again.

You can stop trolling now it's okay, you want to be edgy and condescending towards people to look cool, I get it, but it ain't it buddy.

honestly this is a reply of complete ignorance. without solid evidence. its the weakest paper thin arguement designed to poorply deflect widespread criticism of the game.. You have absolutley no idea how my real life functions, i spent 6 entire weeks away from this game with my boyfriend, going out every day, traveling and living our lives, but when we came back to the game 6 weeks later.. still there was nothing for us to do.. and when that arguement fails. nhilism is ususally the second go to automatic response "well theyll never listen anyway" i dont understand the point of these replies.. they offer nothing.. ive played other games and came back, like ff7R and ill play ff7RR, and ill still come back and ffxiv will still be the same... what must i do to prove to you people the game is underperforming? when will u open ur eyes.. when the entire ship is sinking? what is about the change players want ur so afraid of? that u might need to invest a little more into the game? is your nostalia for the game clouding your reasoning? this game can improve without asking mroe of you. everything is optional

It's unrealistic to expect this to be a second life. You all want houses and clubs and DJs and parties

you know what.. shame on me for replying and taking this seriously.. clearly just a troll response

We knew before EW launched that there was no exploration content tied to the relic this time. Honestly, after we found out the second step was going to be another 1500 tome step we knew that relics were going to be pretty tomestone weapons this expansion instead of something you work towards achieving. You can disagree with SE's mindset towards this, God knows I do, but they have followed through on what they said we were getting this expansion for better or worse.

Friend of mine had a baby in February. She still managed to catch up recently on just about everything except raids, which she retired from given the circumstances. She's spending more time on a second character than her main because there's that little for her to do.
