Important Announcement

[Square_Enix]

Hello,

This post is being made in response to the evident outrage at the mob Sea and Final Fantasy XI in general. We would like to clear up a few issues:

- The drop rate of the various 'pop' items for bosses in Sea have been the target of many angry comments. We feel that they aren't 'horribly planned' simply created with the purpose of allowing end-game players to come together socially by killing the same monster for literally hours on end.

- Many players are angry at the difficulty of the missions leading to and beyond the Sea area. Our thoughts concerning this are varied. On one hand our development team feel that these missions are arranged and executed with the intent to bring lower level players closer together and focus on strategy and skill. Our development testers have responded with a simple comment: "Are you out of your fucking minds?"

- The current search function has recieved some criticism for not allowing multiple jobs to be displayed. We feel that this system is nicely implementated to allow communication between players. Many times players will recieve invites assuming the party is heading to adventure and earn experience points, while in fact the party leader wishes to embark on finishing a misison. We feel that this system should stay in tact to avoid the rare ocassion of misinformation while ignoring the globally needed convinience of multiple job searching.

- Many players are concerned with the changes we've made to the Ranger and Beast Master mob. We feel that players should stop whining and play a job they like instead of clinging on to feeble hopes that we will realize our mistake and change these jobs from terrible to their previous glory.

- Absolute Virtue has been the focus of many arguments and harsh comments. This monster was created with the specific intent of seeing how long you idiots would actually play this game. We were surprised to find that so many players would continue to pay us to play even though we made a monster with the clear intent of humiliating you. Even after he was discovered to be 'unkillable' and taken down with an exploit we are increasingly surprised to discover our monthly intake has never been higher. We hope that you will continue to be involved with our new expansion which will contain entire zones with these new 'unkillables' as they have been referred to.

We hope this will clear up some confusion in the end-game community, and thank you for your time.
