"People Hated Them, Cause they Weren't Wrong" and told them the exact thing they didn't want to hear.
Tale old as time.
I knew this was coming a mile away.
As someone who really just completely rooted themselves in Crystal. (Despite having "friends" all over. though most in EU-DCs- despite a number of them being from NA. They all went there.)
It was pretty obvious what was gonna happen.
WE'VE KNOW WHAT ISSUES THE GAME HAS BEEN HAVING.
YOU'VE SEEN THE THREADS ABOUT DYNAMIS AND MATERIA.
YOU'VE SEEN THEIR PAINS AND LOSS OF GETTING FARMED AND WORK TAKEN FROM "TOURISTS".
This was clearly coming. and while I carry both Empathy and Sympathy for the situation.
You're reactions only draw relish from others. More so when you inadvertently take a combative stance, just cause they aren't 100% saying exactly the same thing as you.
(This literally applies to almost every single thread and topic on this damn general forum. Unless people actually converse small differences, options, or ways to improve. which is saddingly rare, cause it's easy to just knee-jerk into emotion.)
__________________________________________
Rectifying the issues with community, and growing them in the wide open dcs clearly come first. as they are the players who suffered the most.
As someone who wants RegionWide PF/DF. I'll happily wait til it becomes a reality(as I want PVP to grow. and become more fun. Without having to resort to FOMO/Haves-Havenot. And of course Alts Friendly/AccWide Options.)
But such things will wait, til they find a solution that doesn't gimp the rest of the games resources. (you wouldn't want that now, Would You? the devs having to choose how thin the resources should be spread again?)
__________________________________________
While they need to resolve things. (For me, congestion being one. as I'd like to make my Rothgal alt soon.)
This is all a necessary, yet painful lesson and data.
We Knew since the DCs were locked, that the best option was to exist in the same homeworld and DC if such options are on the table for SE.
And this just proved those who prepared or had Alts ready. (You can say Noone can handle all the prep on an alt. but others have.)
We can only find options that satisfy the need to grow Dynamis/Materia. or find ourselves partially ignored while spilling our guts.
Edit:
ps
just like Others and Void has said.
No one is entitled to anything.
This topic can easily spread out into various subjects.
Just like Housing, If you went to these wide open dcs for housing. expecting not to live there and be part of the community there. that's on you, you've made your bed.
At least enrich the community.
If you have problem that you can't get a house where you're friends exist. same issue for everyone. Keep pushing the housing topic. (I personally wish, all plots are largest. with only the building size being the different thing. with varying outdoor furnishings limits)
If it's for Hunts, you aren't entitled to them. it's just a benefit of the situation, and congestion.
Just like if others take advantage of the fact they can do Questionable things. That's on SE.
Least they try.
