    It's a problem that is metastasizing. We're going from people selling runs for in game currency to people selling runs for significant amounts of real cash. We're going from someone running a gathering bot to huge botting operations utilizing tons of in-game resources for more airships and what not. Honestly if you want to deny there's any progression here that's fine, but it seems pretty evident to me.

    Yeah I think the real point here is that nothing anyone does in XIV matters. A point that you continually ignore.

    XIV will be shit with or without botters mate. As long as Yoshida is at the helm the game will stagnate like a fetid pool, so it's no wonder there's so many mosquitos bubbling on the surface.

    Hopfully he will find a way to step down from the 14 project once he's done with the garlamald campaign and wrap things up in his vision so the next person to come along basically has a clean slate to start with

    Unless they do a 1.0 to 1.x series-like purge of the higher ups I doubt anything will significantly change within FFXIV with or without Yoshida at the helm.

    It's not really Yoshida. Though he is a favorite scapegoat, the disease underneath the skin is the Japanese way of business. No matter who is in charge, they can't change how SE does its business: hires, fires, allots money & resources, etc. Technology-wise, the Japanese are stuck 10 years behind everyone else in most things. Business-wise, the stagnation happens because merit is awarded based on seniority and not skill. By the time the XIV devs are able to make a change, everyone else is already years ahead of that change. They fight against the tide as hard as they can, but it will never be enough. We see that in every FF game's development and this one is no different.

    Story wise, our focus is always split between garlamald and the asians, so likely they will try to put both those down in 5.0 and yoshi has gone on to say that after that he would like someone else to take over.

    That would free the next person up to take it somewhere else.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I will give SE mad props for finding a way to keep their MMO floating in a sea of MMO failures left and right from companies who couldn't manage.

    The problem is, I think, is they are so afraid to do anything to mess with the boat that yes it is stagnated and will continue to be stagnated with or w/o Yoshi.

    The good news is, if you do like the system, expect it to continue on. Each expansion will give you another story, with similar missions and fights that will be unique in their own way but still follow the same formats of the (easy raids/hard raids) they've been doing.

    The bad news is, never expect major innovations to fix the parts you may not like. This will never be like Blizzard who are so confident they will keep changing everything up every expansion to give people something new. They will never take that risk.


    And I think we can expect this to be their last MMO until there comes a time where MMOs become popular again (if ever).

    ^ nail + head. FFXIV is afloat because Yoshi P took a very standard, easy, one-size-fits-all template and implemented it very well. Now Squenix is terrified, absolutely terrified to mess with that... even as the stagnation pushes the game closer and closer to obsoletion. That's one reason I love ultimate even though it's beyond my level of investment; I like that they're doing something a little different, a little interesting, even if it's just a gussied-up version of what they already do. It breathed a lot of life into the community even if few people played it, that's for sure.


    Then again there are the Namazu quests which are fuckawesome and amazing and maybe I'm ok with just doing the same thing if it's done this well.

    I disagree that they won't make another FF MMO. I wouldn't be surprised if 17 or 18 was slated to be their next MMO and they are working on it now. FFXIV 1.0 is like....8 years old.

    I could possibly see them making mobile MMOs if FFXI mobile actually comes to fruition and does well.

    But 17 or 18 as a PC MMO I doubt. Even if that was the plan and they started it, I bet it would be scrapped.

    Bliz and Sony were their main competitors all these years and both companies scrapped their future MMO projects.

    There's just not a big enough market for it right now.

    The only thing SE will do about content sellers and buyers is post a reminder about how RMT is against the ToS and you shouldn't be doing it, which they already just did again because people got all mad about that reddit post. In reality SE is not going to ban a bunch of players selling runs or the people who bought them because if they did they would be losing sub money from those players which they don't want.

    If I were at any convention he(Yoshida) was at, I'd be the the guy you'd hear about on the news who tried to get within striking distance of him. Therefore, guess it's good I don't go to any gaming conventions or interviews, E3's, etc.

    Don't know what it is, but every time I see him, I just want to put a crater in his face with my fist.

    That's... pretty extreme for something that's not nearly that big of a deal? Most would just say their piece and unsubscribe rather than resort to violence because a game develops differently than they would hope. It's not like Yoshida has a Martin Shkreli kind of looking face either.
