FFXIV population decline continues

What a ridiculous take. Let's not blame SE for the artificial housing scarcity, let's blame the players instead, typical GCBTW.

Let me tell you again but this time in bold letters and in caps. NOBODY CARES IF YOU GOT A PIXEL HOUSE IN A GAME. IT'S NOT A SYMBOL OF ANYTHING. Why do you even care about owning a pixel house in a game you dislike and which makes you miserable?

Shouting just tends to reinforce the fact you're completely missing the point.

Switching between alts to validate yourself doesn't make you look any smarter either. Also, nobody was shouting..

Are... you gonna say how? How does shouting invalidate their stance? Why does it invalidate their stance? Who says it invalidates their stance? Turning capslock on doesn't immediately make a point invalid. You'll have to elaborate.

Who am I blaming for my decisions?

The point I was making is that unsubbing, having the game improve, and chasing a new house would be inconvenient, whereas paying a $15/mo sub for something I don't use much is not. My mental health is just fine, but thanks for your concern.

The broader issue is whether SE using false scarcity is a cynical business practice that keeps funds coming in despite little content being added.

What IS your take? Paying $15/mo sub for something you don't use is convenient? Huh??? Who is this convenient for?

Really? I guess we're all spending too much time here because there's nothing to do in-game?

Okay, if you want. I didn't say shouting invalidates their stance. What I pointed out was that repeating a statement at a higher volume doesn't actually change anything. In this specific case, the fact they had completely missed the point of the original argument.

Also I have no idea whose alt I'm supposed to be. I guess I'm not very good at this.

A lot of people have alts with FCs and submarines set up for passive gil income. It takes a decent gil investment and a bare minimum of 4-5 months of prep to get to that point. You lose that investment if you unsub and need to reinvest the gil and time again when you come back if you want to set them up again.

It really isn't as simple as "PiXeL hOuSe LmAo" and you would need to be pretty uninformed to think so.

Me, obviously.

Compared to the inconvenience of spending months (or years) bidding on houses in case you do come back in a few months or hell even in a year or two, yeah, it's more worth it to keep shelling the money for it than the absolute waste of time of months of bidding with constant losses if you care even a tiny tiny bit about housing.

I don't know/care if you're an alt but I'm guessing that was meant for the other person. Is... that not the case though? If there were more variety of things to do in the game and complaints were being addressed, would you still be here relentlessly complaining?
