The Perfect Response to "Take a Break"

[sindriiisgaming]

The reason they tell you to take a break is simple: they cannot handle any criticism. Their ego is tied to the game, and the moment you criticize the game, it's as if you personally insulted them. The lengths at which they go to harass, witch-hunt, and doxx criticizers, not to mention some who even sent death threats to those who criticize, says it all.

Hahahahahahaha

I mean you could say that, yes - However, in the same vein if you continually sit in a game that does not please you in any capacity, and has settled in a direction that you vehemently disagree with (Even after they have tried both) - Then it is entirely self-inflicted anger.

Ultimately, yes, people are capable of making this decision themselves, but at times people will wonder.

Devs and CM were infamous for having outright said (in a livestream) that feedback from the "vocal minority" on the game's forum/social media was ignored in favor of metrics.

That sounds very much like FF14, with the recent interview on relics

Yeah - I'll concede the similarities, although in the case I was referring to it was far more about them justifying their commitment to lootboxes.

Telling an angry person to calm down depends on the person's temperament, so there's no 'universal reaction' to it. Some people do and some people dont. Plus it also depends on what they are angry about. Just like that person is trying to compare the two, telling someone to take a break doesn't always mean they've played other games or even tried different things entirely. Some people just dont want to admit that they are wanting something from this game that never existed to begin with, just like some angry people dont want to listen to advice at times. Why would anyone want to concede to someone thinking irrationally anyway? Too many holes in that person's argument.

[Musashidon]

it is exactly the same thing and if said person just took a break or calmed down the problem would be gone.

can't be upset at a game you aren't playing and can't be mad if you are calm.

Something something housing demolition

Honestly the moment I discovered this game had housing, long before I joined, I knew it wouldn't be as nice and easy as it seems, so I researched and found out Housing in this game is akin to what I would find under a "kind" dictator and the hook to keep players logging in became evident, so I decided to save my gil for a little apartment. It's cozy, cheaper to decorate, and I won't have it taken away if I decide to take a break from the game. Housing feels like a pee-pee measuring contest at this point.

Says you





Please do tell us more

When's he admitting to his RMT again? I mean, kinda explains why he has so much free time and all that money for alts.

See the following image.

Actively telling people to not play your game leads to people actively leaving.

Hmmmm. . . what could possibly be the result?

Just think of all the people making money from FF14 players, from fanart ($100 sometimes) to making mods (some of which is literally ripping assets from other games and selling it for $30), of all kinds, to streaming, and to other types of "activities" (like reselling houses on Omega for $800) while laughing at the horrid state of the game and its players in private. There are a lot of paypigs to exploit, this is well-known. People will pay $200 to make an ugly custom portrait for their in-game character to use on Discord because they're addicted to the game and to their character.

Vultures, perhaps? But while FF14 is becoming a joke of a game, the vultures are eating well.

In fact, the worse the game becomes, the better it is for the vultures, as players start to rely on third-party content, ToS-abiding or not, to continue engaging in the community. How many players in FF14 are only subbed because they paid $200 to make their custom IMVU character with custom ToS-violating bodies and poses?

So your comparing your rmt and botting to people paying to have art commissions of there characters and streamers getting paid to stream the game and modders and physical merchandise likes statues that square enix sells on there merchandise store. So i guess every publisher/production company selling physical merchandise for there films/music/video games are equivalent to your rmt services to exploit people. Basically your saying it's ok to rmt and exploit lazy players buying gil is ok because people get paid to stream the game or have art commissioned or square enix sells merchandise.
