BOSS: OMG, we gotta release something to keep the players playing!
SE TEAM: Oh really? Do we have enough time before all those players quit?
BOSS: Don't care! Just release something fast!
SE TEAM: Ok, something fast....
** /make 20 mobs with more hp **
SE TEAM: DONE, BOSS!
BOSS: So fast! good works guys, show me the new stuffs!
** Boss logged on his FF14 account and used like an hr to kill 20 bigger mobs with some "EPIC" R30 loots**
BOSS: WTF was that?
SE TEAM: BOSS, that's it. Just get on Lodestone to write a letter with your R60 EPIC marketing skills to impress the players.
BOSS: $!^$^@%^@%... ok...
**Boss released his recent letter without any " real details" of the new stuffs.... plus a few words on our "bright future"... followed by 2 Dev team notes that created some hypes for most players, the titles included "20 new NMs" and "Companies System" **
FF players: ZOMG, I'm not going to sleep on Thursday nite with the new NMs
** Actually, personally, i fall into sleep after killing some Big dodo, crab, rat....whatever. I feel no different than killing a digger with 3-4 R10 players**

Well, u can call me a hater... whatever.
But the fact is, if the update notes earlier this week was talking about "we're going to add some mid range activities for lowbies, high end Dungeons will be in a month...etc". I won't be so disappointed. Also i fully understand the earthquake last month really screw things up a lot. If you have to delay the plan, it's ok.
I know you gotta do all the marketing strat... but... i mean... how many times did we go "OMg new stuffs, we have hope!" and end up went back to ground zero in a day or 2?
I just felt like I signed up with those "$20 a month and u can talk all you want" phone plans, and end up paying $60 a month even the phone always has no signal. Yes Marketing! Thanks so much!

I guess i'll just slow down... or even stop for a while. Until i see something real on lodestone. I can't stand those "eye candies" Dev team posts anymore.
