Letter from the Producer, XXIII

**Ambrosia** · 2012-01-23 19:53

Wow just came back from skimming through the Official Forums. The amount of QQ'ing there has reached astronomical levels. If the DeLorean ran on QQ I am sure I could fill up enough buckets to last me a lifetime and time travel at my leisure. Only Cichy and like two other people made sense on the official forums. I am not even sure how you guys managed to go through all of that. It is like carnivores (diehard fans) and herbivores (everyone else). Considering that almost everyone on the forums is a diehard fan one way or another, it's as if they are killing each other over there. No more herbivores so I guess the remaining carnivores are eating each other up over any little "disagreement." Guess you could say it has reached critical mass. Funny to think someone posted before the billing period started as to whether the forums were going to get better with the undesirables out of the way. Guess it must of been his 1st MMO with a forum attached to it.

That letter about jobs (and more importantly the implementation of it) better be amazing because I don't see anything else that may be considered major till Version 2.0 And no I don't consider Garuda or the Odin fights to be major. Chances are you guys are going to beat them within 48 hours. Only thing that may be awful is the RNG if Square Enix decides to "lengthen" that content.

The official forums have been bad for months and it's gonna stay bad. Sometimes I think people paid the subscription fee just to have a place to QQ about everything from goobbue mounts to job theories to BiS gear choices.

Lodestone people are like hounds trying to hunt down anyone who disagrees with their opinion how SE is the greatest and tear them to shreds. People like fuckin Jennestasia from FFXIV core who is by far the biggest retard on there.

QFT. I was gonna say worse things about that person, but I've decided not to lol

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-01-23 20:27

Yeah. I only go there to read any dev posts. Most of the time I just hope someone posts it in Comment Thread so I can skip going over there altogether... Saves me the headache.

Oh god that guy. He's the prime example of the typical forum user.

Your entire post is saying you're entitled to information now that you're a paying customer but now you're saying it ain't a feeling of entitlement.
Are you people really this dumb?

I wasn't even really going to say anything about it until you made this post and now I see motherfuckers quoting and agreeing with some hypocrite ass shit. Just own up to being a snobbish lil' bitch, it isn't like that isn't the norm around here anyway. You won't be made fun of for it, much. I promise.

God damn my brain is about to explode.

umad bro? Sounds like umad.

Maybe if it was called "Letter from your friend Yoshi-P" instead of "Letter from the Producer" I'd feel better about not feeling like there should be information about the GAME being PRODUCED by the author. I'm not looking for a pen-pal, sorry!

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-23 23:41

Pathetic.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-01-23 23:45

At least I ain't e-thuggin on a FFXIV forum.

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-23 23:47

Yes, because not being as white as possible on the internet is clearly e-thug levels. Nah, fuck that.
Either way, I noticed you haven't disagreed with my post.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-01-23 23:49

You just called me and everyone else in this thread a motherfucker. Am I supposed to attempt a logical discourse with you at this juncture?

Let's agree to disagree and move on.

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-23 23:50

You coulda done that from the start, don't try to act like you're taking the moral high road when you come right back slinging shit and then can't handle being waist deep.

**Lucavi** · 2012-01-23 23:50

Huh. I'm pretty sure that paying a company for a product entitles you to want to hear a steady stream of relevant, tangible updates for the product, especially in today's current MMO world.

Could just be me, though.

I never said it didn't. I don't agree but I don't feel there's anything wrong with someone feeling that way... but if you do, why not just say that? See, this is where I stepped in.
I mean, coming out saying that you don't feel it is about entitlement and in the same breath saying you're entitled to the info because you pay now is just idiotic.

**mightyg** · 2012-01-24 00:01

That's the last straw Yoshi-P! You're fired! Someone light the WUT signal so we can get a man who will give us the information we crave. We need more working as intended and we have no plans up in this bitch.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-01-24 00:02

Except that when you imply that we are being entitled over feeling slighted by a company that has made promises. I don't think it's entitlement because I don't feel like a fucking snob sitting here making a big deal out of it. I think it should have been understand since we have now entered into a business relationship. I made that point fairly clear but you seem to have missed that point and begun flinging shit. it isn't feeling entitled so much as feeling like SE should uphold their end of the bargain they proposed to begin with.

If I wasn't paying shit (like the last 15 months) I wouldn't say anything, but now that I am, I think the atmosphere has changed, and this letter does not represent said change in atmosphere. Are you so dense as to have missed that point entirely? I mean, come on man, you come in cursing at and other people and expect us to give you a reasonable response in return? On what level of conversation is that considered acceptable? None I am aware of.

Is this the part where I ignore the post because its too long and then just say 'u mad'?

Vuitton · 2012-01-24 00:09

yeah well until they start advertising producers letters WITH PATCH INFO i'll start worrying about whether or not i am getting my money's worth. until then they're just fluff usually with cool info in them.

oh lawd held me jesus this one wasn't what i wanted
