FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

**Shenrien** · 2013-10-07 01:43

My complaint, I don't know how to do this.

**kemigumi** · 2013-10-07 02:28

No time stamps or craft actions in the log...
Want to question validity...
Want to know instant gratification...

**Kuishen** · 2013-10-07 02:28

Fill your inventory with HQ crafting leve item, turn them all in at once. You can even see the item he turned in at the top of the log.

**kemigumi** · 2013-10-07 02:39

Knock on Wood - 24500 xp, 343 gil
Courier, Costa del Sol (Eastern La Noscea)
1 Walnut Macuahuitl

Lv30 levequest. The screenshot is still misleading.

**Whaleporn** · 2013-10-07 02:49

In an LS I'm in someone was saying they reported healers for jumping in the tree in AK and then didn't get why I called him a dick for doing that. 'We could have all been banned for him doing that it's against TOS to attack a mob that isn't fighting back!!' 'I also report my friends for speeding if im in the same car'

He must get an erection every time someone else's time is wasted.

I wonder if all the idiots crying hack/exploit on reddit ever considered that the poor guy did it on accident. Like he turned in a single leve and it just gave him all of that shit. Obviously the likelihood of that happening is way less than somebody intentionally exploiting a bug, but given the fact that SE is the same company that somehow managed to code something like the Black Abyssite coming from portable synergy furnaces in XI, it's always a possibility.

Or that the timestamps in the original picture are faked/screwed up.

Assumptions are the kernels of corn in that cesspool of shit.

Change echo color, proceed to incrementally spam messages, block timestamps, profit on tears. Too easy.

Oh my god this is genius.

EDIT: Oh man is it theoretically possible to fake /tell conversations too?

**Sephiroth** · 2013-10-07 04:06

I hate the way Coil pretty much forces you into static groups. I couldn't even view the first cutscenes the other night because my FC had already engaged the first boss (who is parked next to the entrance) before I entered the group. Likewise I missed the entire turn until the last boss last night because they'd cleared the rest the previous night when I wasn't there.

It just seems so anti-FC to me. If your FC isn't perfectly divisible by 8 (and that's just those with Coil access) for static parties to work then some people are going to be missing turns each week. It's more obvious if you join at say turn 3 because you can't go back and do turn 1 and 2 that week.

I guess SE's answer to RNG drops is to make loot 100% drop and limit the amount of times you can do the content instead. I'm not sure which is worse. Why can't they just do it all with tokens? Like if they want me to only have a chance at a BLM piece once every 9 weeks then give me 1 token each week and require 9 for the loot. I'm sure some smart ass will come along and say "that's what AF+1/mythology is for" but that doesn't solve the issue of severely limiting content. And just because WoW might do it doesn't mean it can't be bettered.

**Rocl** · 2013-10-07 05:49

This shot is better because time stamps

**Sephiroth** · 2013-10-07 05:58

When it's that easy to level crafts they may as well just do away with levels and just give everyone access to all recipes providing they have good enough gear for the recipe.

It's not supposed to be nearly that quick (that's unreasonable even if powerleveling through leves with hq items, you cannot deliver items at that rate through legit means, let alone retaking the leves involving them). It screams exploit (this cannot be done that quick even with poshacking and an unlimited supply of leves/items), which doesn't surprise me considering the gil exploit (not the lol wet ash) and the ability to alter some of the character's data (minions and probably more relevant stuff) that have been found so far.

**arus2001** · 2013-10-07 06:35

Yeah, definitely bug or something fishy at that point by virtue of NPC babble between leves and the implication he did them all at once.

Otherwise still pretty easy to fake log messages if you're gonna selectively chop out shit.

**Rocl** · 2013-10-07 06:52

People purposefully making the Odin fight more difficult because they got the achievement last time :<

Also what's with all the cynical bitching. Retards expecting an MMO to not have any flaw or minor oversight in it's design. You remember that last mmo you played that had a glitch or exploit? Yeah that mmo. It doesn't matter what your answer is. Clearly the FFXIV designers are incompetent and should be more like that other mmo you played. How many mmo's even launch with a duty finder?

What's with all the cynical bitching? REALLY? Are you playing the same fucking game as us?

Here's the reason for the bitching:
1: Utter lack of communication. SE hides behind an impenetrable veil of secrecy behind almost everything they do, keep people in the dark, and half the time don't even acknowledge shitty broken shit.
2: Customer service. Some of the worst in the fucking business. My friend had an issue in WoW a few days ago. A relatively small one... and a GM called him back within a few hours, and when my friend was like "oh shit I'm raiding atm" the GM was like "Sure, I'll send you an email and just reply when you're out of raid and I'll call you again". IMAGINE SE DOING THAT. OH WAIT you can't, they can't even be bothered to fucking respond to tickets before closing them and not telling you they're closed.
3: Really, really basic poor coding and quality of life shit that's been in EVERY OTHER MMO FOR THE PAST X YEARS. Right click spam filters, a duty finder that isn't a fucking broken piece of trash, instance servers so full that reserving a dungeon takes as long as doing the dungeon (no, "just don't do AK at the start of the week" isn't an acceptable answer).

Fuck off with your invalidating people's legitimate complaints.

Edit: I realized why I'm so fucking furious with this game. I really, really wanted to enjoy it, and have fun with it. There's some things I really like (SCH), that get completely fucking ruined by the broke-brain retards at SE (literally no way to macro pet actions). I want to love this game, but the other MMO I play is literally better than it in every possible aspect.

That was how I got into the strange situation of completing my Relic without actually knowing how to run AK.

I had to get some LS people to run through once with me so it didn't look fucking terribad when the relic PLD didn't know what to do in AK. Doubly bad because I was still using some AF pieces.

Eh your friend got lucky, i've had tickets open in WoW for 4-5 days at times or longer. I do love Blizzard's replies to issues/class concerns at times that are equivalent to "stfu you're all bad" though. Or their methodology of buff/nerfing classes on a seesaw to keep people swapping around on each class per expansion.

Lots of shit wrong with the game, but still enjoying it far more then any other MMO i've played and think its better then most on the market now in terms of what it has at the beginning. And yeah, it doesn't have shit other games have...but I dont really care, because they will eventually be put in more then likely. I don't expect a brand new game to have the development backend of fucking WoW. How long has WoW been alive and had time to take concepts from other games and bring them into the fold?

**amentis** · 2013-10-07 09:31

They also completely redid the game. They could have just cribbed shit from everyone in the market. They seemed to have attempted to do this? But only took the bad/broken parts of everything and left out all the good ones.

I mean fuck, they don't even crib the good shit from their own early iterations of the same game, like spam filters. The devs are fucking ass clowns.

Then quit playing the fucking game yo. If it's seriously this much of a steaming pile of shit to you I have no idea why you are paying for it.

**amentis** · 2013-10-07 09:59

NOT PAYING FOR IT.

Also, I like playing games with my friends, and I like parts of this game. Did you miss the part where I said I want to like this game so much, and that it has lots of potential? That there's times where it's super fun, and then I get slapped down immediately by a reminder of why this game is seriously broken?

This is the fucking complaint thread, I'm not going to talk about all the shit I like about the game in here. There are many good improvements in the game (teleports instead of flight points, registering favorite locations, airships being insta ports instead of a zeppelin system, crafting being interesting and in-depth even if I don't personally enjoy it, Scholar, Scholar... and scholar, etc.), but every time I start to enjoy something, I get stomped back down to reality by some fucking idiotic design decision.
