Criticism

[chapien]

More like that most people stopped caring about the gameplay or weren't even interested in it from the beginning. A lot of people misuse this as some sorta second life game and the devs are fully aware of that. I mean, I don't want to insult anyone but if you get into a virtual line to attend a virtual club in an imaginary virtual neighborhood then you need counseling and/or a job and money.

If they want to spend their sub playing dress up and going to virtual clubs, who are we to stop them? I don't do clubbing, but I am a roleplayer (though I do content as well, primarily crafting and occasional raiding, plus MSQ as it comes out), and if I want to spend my time in the game socializing, there's nothing wrong with that. Every MMO has a scene like that (WoW, GW2, ESO all have RP communities, and WoW's is even bigger than FFXIV's), so I'm not sure why you're acting like this is a misuse of the game when every MMORPG is like this.

Case in point, JP's Cosmic Exploration zones are dead in the water now after a suggestions thread to make it more fun and interesting was locked and deleted without warning.
They too are now experiencing the exact same kind of treatment we endure in regards to our feedback and criticism and many are not happy about it.

Sticking out nails get nailed down. Only Japan things. Honestly I hope SE gets bought out by a chinese company, it would be pay to win af but at least the quality would be there. This lackluster mediocre lukewarm approach without giving us a roadmap while our virtual rent for houses keeps rolling is insane.

So you enjoy your morning coffee salty or what? Or you get your kick getting into the very thing that you claim to despise?



See your mindset I find absolutely baffling to read. Are you like this IRL too? Don't get me wrong, not taking part into something you don't enjoy, or not doing it because you dislike it, that's perfectly sane and I try to do the same after I'm done trying a type of content. I try it, make up my mind about whether I like it enough to continue or not. On that, we agree.
But then if you didn't like it, you're of the opinion that you shouldn't criticize it for what you perceive as being flaws or problems? You don't try to make the system better? Like what, IRL someone implements a policy that you hate, doesn't concern you much, you decide to stay away from it, and you certainly won't criticize it, but even more, actually go all your way to shit on the people that do because that's how you get your kicks? And you call people a bunch of kids throwing a tantrum? But what does it say about your own moral fiber?
I think there was a paragraph somewhere from MLK on the "moderates that do agree but will oppose any criticism or action anyway", which seems perfectly fitting.

What do I despise again, and where did I claim I do? Oh no, I love these posts, they always make my day better because we all know what's infinite, and yes, it's not the universe. I meant, endless entertainment, of course .

You honestly talk like somebody who got locked in your parents' basement and had very little contact with how life actually works. Thinking you are some knight, virtual signaling left and right, thinking you will save the day, and the one to change the world. Please... do yourself a favor and stop. You ain't saving anyone.

It's just a video game dude. Valences point is valid, if you are behaving like that over video game discussions, how are you behaving during real life discussions over important matters that affect people's daily lives? I doubt it's much better.

Classical "Lets all get along!" voice of reason cope post after being put on the spot to defend opinions they willingly posted.

opinion and being critical are two thing you also have opinion that you will defend but I also critic the game so it can get better over all. but if you can do the difference well it isn't such my problem sadly

However, the vast majority is bitching about something and wanting something that this game never provided or never was.

False, the game has been good before and people can want it to get back to that point.

I’d say people rarely ever devote much thought to things they don’t care about. If a bunch of people are criticising the game maybe it just means a lot of people care about it and want things to improve. Obviously, ‘how’ that should happen varies massively between people.
