WoW is adding multiplayer Trusts....

[Atelier-Bagur]

Sorry for the tangent, but this just made me reflect. The more I think about how able and willing the WoW team seems to be to add or change things to adapt to the evolving nature of their game over the years, and just DOING IT, the more frustrated I get when I look at XIV and how we always seem to get if's, and's, and but's when it comes to some of the most basic sh*t. Small indie company Squeenix just can't muster up the manpower for some things, I guess.

Im not one to praise Blizzard because they have made a lot of serious Ls even recently but I cant also pretend that their recent Ws dont exist either. Cant be this black and white, but I really like how the current dev team is being more open faced and communicative to the playerbase than FFXIV's devs have been with us.

Most of the time, we dont know what their thinking is with their decisions and its always a guess on their side.

Your post is utter nonsense. I have been playing over 10 years and have NEVER experienced any sexual harassment whatsoever. You will try to blow it up to make your absurd point but you are obviously wrong. Blizzard devs and their harassment and perversion is actually documented. Those people are bottom of the barrel and the scum of the Earth. Nothing you type will change that fact. If you want to support that by all means do so but stop trying to deflect that miserable trash.

ah this is entertaining.

IT doesnt happen to me so the issue doesn't exist.

Answer me this, does sexual harassment exist between other people in game?

Have you subjected someone to sexual harassment?

Just because it doesnt happen to you directly doesnt meant the issue isnt there

If any one of those is yes, then you are a hypocrite.

It's almost as if the roles from about 3 years ago have been reversed.

I don't care if anyone asked. I want people very aware that the company they put on a pedestal and support is repulsive and disgusting. I can type whatever I want on this forum within the ToS.

You seem obsessed. I'm sorry a game you say you quit 10 years ago is still living rent free in your head and mentally dominating you. Quite sad!

[Swordsman]

Citizen, he said something about Blizzard employees being incompetent perverts. When you say you've blocked someone do you also have a method of blocking them so you can't see what they say even when other people quote them?




We will rebuild the world.

Yeah, I'll DM you in game.

lol pretty much this. But honestly Ive looked back on some LLs and I think this was just always the case. Its really that Blizzard's communication stepped up a lot better than FFXIV's which I feel had this same level of quality in terms of feedback

Well the issue here is that Yoshida was never transparent, he was Opaque, an a lot of what he was giving us was honestly just tried and true things that worked. The game is now in a stage where the taste of the player base has changed and whats being offered is not what players want anymore.

Or look at it from this point a view, you eat one flavor of icecream for close to 11-12 years, and a new ones comes out, the old flavor being WoW, Guild Wars, Aion, EvE, Any major older MMO, you're gonna try XIV and really enjoy what you have now. But XIV is in the exact same position now, it's been the flavor for over 10 years. People want something new and exciting, and that is why a lot of people are calling XIV stagnant.

Ion and the team being transparent, or as transparent as they're willing to be is them realizing, "We can't just force feed them, we gotta work with them again".

Where as Yoshida wants a more controlled MMO experience thats for people who come home from JP Salary-person hours and wants to unwind for like 3-4 hours before getting up and repeating said horrid hours for work.

Every time someone makes a mention of WoW in a topic a bunch of weirdos who make Final Fantasy XIV their whole personality come just to say "WoW bad" instead of contributing with the discussion.

Anyway I like the way Trusts work in FFXI more. Which is already nothing like the crappy system XIV implemented. If they could do better they would. I doubt they will make Trusts more flexible.

Definitely- they have talked to their playerbase more than ours, like in general / in the past, but it would usually be superficial and not too important if it happened or not (nice but like 'okay, you are confirming to my face I'm screaming into the void.. thanks I guess'), but now it was not only will we talk back but it's going to actually be important to us, and we want you to know that we want you to be able to play the game the way you want to play it, and not how we think you should, your time is valuable, and we want you to have fun.

This is like disenfranchised gamer cocaine. I'm not a regular of wow because I just prefer FFXIV but even I was hyped for WoW and it tempted me enough to play the trial.

Which are still just words but then you look at their road map and.. well it looks like actual actions too. Why WoW didn't do this until now, I don't know, but genuinely had my Warcraft 3 nostalgia days of blizzard perked up rather than my ' oh my God what did Activision Blizzard do now to the game, or to their employees...?'
