casual

Tanaka isn't in charge anymore, hate to break the news to you. And secondly, when was XIV EVER casual? Aside from leves, everything else wasn't casual at all, I don't know which game you were playing....but it was definitely time consuming. Look at crafting in WoW, and then look at it in XIV....tell me which one is casual. I remember Tanaka saying that, and me and my buddy bought XIV on launch day, and played it for a week straight, and I remember him and I asking each other (we're both XI vets)...."How in the hell is this game casual?"....granted, it didn't bother us, cause we were kinda hoping it wouldn't be.

If you think I'm being "rude", then I'm sorry, but I'm tired of reading all these threads with the most asinine requests I've ever seen people make from a developer. Do you want to play XIV or WoW? Cause I bought XIV to play another FF MMO, regardless of how time consuming it is or whatever.....if they take it in a casual direction, oh well, I'll go play Tera, or Blade and Soul, or whatever else out there that is more time consuming to me, and requires me to do more. I'm not going to sit here and stomp my feet and throw a tantrum cause I'm not getting my way.

Lastly, again, for the last time....let SE make their freakin' game. If they want it hardcore, then they'll make it hardcore, if they want it casual, they'll do that....and if they want it in the middle, then so be it. They're the developers, NOT the player base, and I think the community has started forgetting that with the request a minute threads I keep seeing.
