Duplicate Questions in the Questions for the Producer Live Letter Thread

[HamHam]

How big is the overall game map going to be? FFXI, WOW and GW2 all have expansive maps with varying methods of transportation. From what ive seen of ARR via the released videos the gaming region of the Black Shroud seems rather small, with a camp being literally under a minute away at any given point. This kind of negates the need for Chocobo, Airships and whatever else is devised. Travelling needs to be an integral part of the game. Id hate for ARR to simply become tele to an aetheryte point then run 20 secs to the nearest dungeo, rinse repeat. I do understand this is just the basic game and expansions may come later!

During 1.0 there were complains Gridania's map was too big or complicated, so SE is probably making the map smaller and easier to navigate to appease this issue. We can't have it both ways!

Not sure if this question is breaking the NDA, since it seems this could be perceived as Alpha related content.

OP: You have a lot of free time!

Good for you hope that make you feel more special for yourself and you found the like button like everyone else btw im one of the like btw >.>

why would this make me feel special? It makes me facepalm that people would rather know about grass than, when beta will start (near last page question) for example...

This is a pointless thread, no offense to OP (I get that your looking for something to do..). Many of the examples in your OP aren't even the same question, and it's really not up to you to decide if something has already been covered in enough detail or not. If you'd like to remind ppl to read through all the submitted questions before posting their own, thats one thing.. but suggesting that someone's question is redundant because the topic may have been addressed before isn't your call. If a player see's a question and wants to like it, they can, or if they feel the question could have been worded differently or more specifically in order to seek the answers they're looking for, they can do that too.

I have mentioned many times in this thread how duplicate questions need not be identical in their word choice. Also, I never said It was up to me to decide if something has been covered in enough detail or not. As far as reminding people to read the thread before posting their question - I did that IN THAT THREAD and people continue to post duplicate questions hich only leads to one conclusion: people aren't reading previous psots to begin with. Also, I don't know why It wouldn't be my call to suggest whether someone's question is redundant - after all it's my opinion and mine alone, i'm not forcing it on anyone, and we are all having a perfect discussion over that in this thread. Good talk.

Someone (not me: too lazy) should start a thread to answer all of the questions that are being posted that have been categorically answered in letters and by community reps already.

Actually, I thought about doing just that.

Ahh what a reminder that one should type exactly what one is referring to in one's questions/comments

@Matsume - you are right people should be taking the time to read and like instead of re-posting and cluttering up the thread. Can't imagine what the question thread is going to look like by the end of next week.

@Dzian - I agree we were asking different questions (related subject but different)

@Matsume/all - My question is about the limitations & restrictions that Yoshi mentioned (sry can't remember which live letter he made a passing comment about restrictions on "needing"). Several members of my linkshell remember the comment but we all are aware that no details were offered. I have realized that I probably should have asked with greater detail, but in all honesty I wanted to se what they (SE) would offer as an answer. You are right that the tokens and NGP will all tie into each other

Thank you for the reminders and especially the links above. Good info to have.

No biggie, hope you don't feel like I singled you out or anything. You are welcome for the info by the way.

OP: You have a lot of free time!

Slow day at work :/

The 'wording' can change the entire basis of the question.. My point only was that your interpretation of questions that you feel are similar is not the same as everyone elses. Therefore your OP listing all the questions you THINK are duplicates is pointless, other than to pass some time, in which case if that was your only purpose.. kudos.

I noticed your post IN THAT THREAD.... that's why I said IN THIS THREAD that reminding ppl to read the questions is OK..

As I said before, it's not your call, but yeah your right in that it is your opinion. You then started a thread based entirely on your opinion of everyone else's questions to SE.. Yet are confused as to why some are referring to this as a troll thread.. Yep, Good talk.

First of all, I don't give a fuck about my post count. I contribute to the forums in a way you never can nor will. I translate french dev posts into english before the translation team has time to do them, and that has more to do with my post count than this silly thread ever will.

Second, I could care less about "controlling" you, I'm just pointing out that the OP explicitly asked not to duplicate questions, instead to "like button" duplicates - this is to make the sorting mechanism easier on their end in the future. You obviously could care less about them, so gtfo fool.

Perhaps you should spam, at least that would get you banned and I wouldn't have to reply to your useless verbiage.

This is why I believe you think your special and also you believe that your words carry more weight in the forums then other people mostly the first couple sentences in first paragraph. I could be wrong of course its a online forum and really can't judge people based on words alone.

Hmmm are you serious about the answers to the questions thread? I know I would find it helpful. The original Dev question thread is already a bit....messy. If not that is OK too. That is an awful lot to ask. Links are always good too. In fact I like those better, so I can sift thru them at my leisure.

We're all good-you had a point to make

Nah, I'm not confused about why people are referring o this as a troll thread. I unerstand that it is human nature to automatically lash out in defense at what is percieved as an offensive act. It is also common to displace blame onto the bearer of bad news so as to make oneself seam less eroneous.

You may think as you wish, regardless of your thoughts, I will say it once more - I do not think I am a special and unique snowflake. I am a speck upon a speck upon a speck upon a speck in the middle of nowhere in a universe devoid of meaning. I don't think my words carry more weight than anyone elses. Matter of fact, words are weightless. My statement that I have contributed more to the forums is a matter of subjective fact. My posts in the french translation thread are proof of that claim. My post count is entirely superfluous. Thanks for your 2 cents.

[odintius]

Thanks just pointing out what you consider to be facts could be superficial to other's mostly to this regard some other thing I've read from you I do agree tbh.

Somewhat true, although that doesn't take away from it indeed being an 'offensive act' to some (in particular those who you claimed were duplicating questions, when from their perspective [and perhaps others..] it was an entirely different question). And that second part doesn't even apply here as you aren't 'bearing any bad news' nor did anyone blame you for anything (well, except for maybe trolling, but I don't think that was your intent).

I don't see how expressing my opinion is an offensive act.

If someone has the right to claim that my opinion (that their question is a duplicate) is offending them, then I reserve the right to claim that their opinion (that their question isn't a duplicate) is offending me -on the basis of equality. For are we not equal in opinion?
