Please stop destroying the playerbase + fix blacklist

[Remolia]

then make a PF? the tools are there, instead of not doing what is expected and the bare minimum of courtesy and etiquette. The concept of a Social Contract also applies and translates to when using the DF.

I don't have problems with other players by default and I do bare minimum. If I will want to play a duty and avoid to get a PLD as a tank, I will make one.

People used mare, and use mods, because game fully lacks of any good modern character customization.

While I'd love more options, I would bet a lot of money that there would still be mods no matter how many options they put into the game, and condoning third party tools would be a whole other thing they might get held liable for. If all of a sudden people start sharing posts on social media where they're using copyrighted materials while playing FFXIV it can cause lots of problems. I've even seen it happen on other games like City of Heroes where people were making Spider-man characters. Heck even WoW, as far as I'm aware, doesn't allow addons that would change the game files. So to me the best thing they could do is maybe add some sliders and more options OR if there's a replacement, the community needs to stop being so loud because the devs were fine to turn a blind eye until recently.

Same for blacklist. its completely useless, it has 200 slots, no autoremove feature, no DF filtering. For example I like to play a conjurer, and have a lot of annoying players (especially mentors) who tells me how to play or these losers even votekick me, I would like to filter them out from my DF

what in the-

Maybe try to focus on reasons?

It's not even modern customizations we're lacking... it's almost all customization.
Nothing feels unique between player characters.
Hell we don't even have good beard options in 2025

i doubt that any dedicated raider would quit the game, because he cant see big t*** goth girls and modbeasts anymore

Right but they would if ACT went away.

nope but dedicated raiders due use parsers and other third party tools. That much is very known, if the hard core world first raiders got busted with it not once but twice...

It's not like mare had any impact on me, but recent interview about content and difficulty seems likely to be my final straw. WoW just showed their upcoming expansion with housing and reworked old locations, new race and whatnot and almost at the same time Yoshi says thet there will be less content going forward because balancing the fights consisting of the same mechanics over and over is hard on the team.

Dawntrail was as stale as a week old spaghetti in the freezer, first story where i just skipped all the patches just to get to dungeons and trials to get to roulettes with my friends. Only thing that i was excited for was Beastmaster, which got shelved for 7.5, and now I'm excited for MH collab which is only in October.
I dont want to even try extremes or raiding this expac, i only keep my entry sub to keep my house and I'm starting to consider to juat drop it all and maybe buy WoW expac next year instead of buying next ffxiv expac and keep hoping that it will get better.

It's the first time I'm actually regretting spendinjg money on ffxiv. Could've spend them on something more fun.

1. Freezers prevent food from going stale.
2. Who puts spaghetti in the freezer?

A lot of people who cook meals in advance.


Whatever you were aiming for, this wasn't it.
