Stop the trophyselection by the Developers

[Laphizet]

Hi,

playing FF14 for a while now for PS4/PS5. Really enjoyed the experience most of the time. Also started because I like collecting trophies and FF14 on PS4 was really friendly with them and to get a feeling for the game and the mechanics...

BUT

Now I have to say something about the system the developers trying to put in. With the 6.X Update they definitly losing their minds. Especially 6.5. What are you thinking? Doing Palace of the dead Solo. HoH Solo. Collecting 1460 fishes and craft everything? What Yoshida and the developerstuff are thinking? Saying we should take a break from the game if it is too much. A lot of people dont want to do such bullshit. Im sure the developers also never did something of that. The trophy community is about to leave this game. There is no one who wants to do this. Even if you not collecting trophies. We want to play this game and have a good time.

Im not paying for to get tortured. Of course I dont have to collect the trophies for it i know. But if you are a collector than this is against all trophies were implemented. I dont know which Person from the Developer team decided to make such trophies the last month but Yoshida is the one who give a go for this. The man who said relax and play other games. Nothing but gossip. I write this because a lot of players will end FF14 because of this on the PSSystems. And you can go ahead with that trophy philosophy, but i hope you will lose a lot of new players, cause with this updates you make this game unenjoyable for many of us on Playstation. Im not paying money every year for such decisions. Customer unfriendly at its best.

Change something in the trophy list. Im not paying money to get up at 4 am to get a fish by rng? Is this healthy and customer friendly? People want to enjoy the game not get sick of it. This is sadictic in every way possible and a lot of players will not except this. Use the trophies to motivate people not make them hate and quit the game. Very unprofessional for a developer imo.

Edit
" I think if you soloed EO, you would understand my rationale more. That trophy alone took me 120hrs and it nearly affected my mental health. It was not fun. When I saw the trophies for solo-ing HoH and PotD, that alone was an instant no for me. I do not think my heart can take any more of that type of punishment where you do a 10hr run (20hr run in case of PotD) and it ends, over and over many times before you actually clear. These type of hardcore runs are not for me and it would take a deep dungeon lover and a masochist to enjoy this type of pain. I do not mean to scare you away from this but man this is the reality of this trophy list." This is from someone who i am writing with. At Yoshida and SE. Is this what you want? Who support something like this? People want to play your game and you make them sick cause you want the money more.

" No idea who specifically at the company was responsible for this, but yeah they should not be there anymore lol. I officially unsubbed from the game just now." Another player. There is tons more who will do the same

Please some of the developers have to read this. Dont put trophies which you developers also didnt make.

Playstation Network trophies would actually be Sony's responsibility though, not SE's (the actual in-game achievements are all SE though). Really though, difficulty in attaining them is the tradeoff for collecting them in the first place, they're meant to be challenging - I learned that a long time ago, that my level of gaming skill means many achievments will simply never be attainable to me, as I'm very much a low skill player, by my own admittance.

That doesn't make the achievements 'badly designed', it just means I lack the skill to attain them. 'Know thyself' and all that. So I instead concentrate on achievements I know I can attain, and accept that many will never be completed.
