Letter From the Producer IX.

[Jinko]

I have to say that Shiyo's meltdown has been the most amusing thing so far, keep it up.

*walks away blabbering about WoW Clones and stuff*

I find it really funny that when this game first came out people were crying foul because it was missing "everything that any MMO should have in it at launch," well now they're adding all that stuff, and we're crying foul again because we think they're copying other MMOs. All I gotta say is wtf?! The devs must think we are all whiny, insane idiots that don't know what we want, and they would be right in thinking so. I feel sorry for them, they ask us what we want, we tell them (polls) and then they start giving it to us, and then we rip them a new hole for it and say they're trying to make it like WoW and accuse them of copying other MMOs. THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED! Right?! They've been being so incredibly awesome by telling us what they're doing with the game and communicating with us about it and asking for feedback which is something SE never does, and we're taking that gift and smashing it on the floor and stomping on it for good measure like whiny little 5 year old brats. Can't we just be happy that they're even adding stuff? Let's not ruin the game by not letting them implement things that are fun and have been proven to work! You can be original while still adhering to a working formula!

Couldn't agree more, the thing is people who protest will always make sure they are heard *points to Shiyo*, It seems a lot of people when they came to this game were hoping for FF11-2 even though they were clearly informed it wasn't going to be.

Take Shiyo for example, she comes from FF11 wants FF11 and wants this game to pretty much emulate it in every sense, they clearly said the FFXIV was going to be heavily orientated towards casual players and casual play style and yet she/he still sticks around and whines like a child.

Quest hubs make so much sense, instead of traipsing all the way to a city and then all the way back to a quest point, hopefully now the quest objectives will be fairly close to the issuing site.

Instanced dungeons are also great, I don't want some dickhead strolling into my boss encounter uninvited thanks very much.
