Finally Understanding SE's Decision Making (And Why It Won't Change)

[sindriiisgaming]

Basically that. It would help if they just proactively went and tried to hire all the modders and tool developers. Because they have had these problems for 12 years now:

• Armoire issues.
• Glamour Dresser issues.
• A housing crisis.
• Problematic buff and debuff limits that break rotations.
• Slow packet and battle processing code that 2013 multi-threaded hardware probably shouldn't struggle with, nevermind 2025 hardware.
• "Difficulty carrying things with the player" across physical servers.
• Inability to revisit linkshells, such that they created an entirely different version of them called CWLS.
• Daily DDoS of their NA servers that, while I admit are difficult to prevent, there are ways to think outside the box like creating multiple routes to the server and proactively diverting player clients to a different route when attacks are happening.

In addition, the struggle with viera and hrothgar hats for half of the game's existence now.

I've also been angry that they don't hire them or even just freelance them... they're extremely talented and dedicated people with real genuine passion for making xiv better. Yet blaming the language barrier time and time again.. when they have TWO translators. As for redemption. No. These devs will kill their own game like everything else se kills.

When ffxiv is a husk of itself se might legit go bankrupt. Because let's be real the already played the ff7 card and it's not popular. They can't just keep playing it forever
