Square-Enix only hears one thing: Complaints.

Whiney bitchy melee = Rng nerf.
Lazy Whiney slow poor unskilled hunters = NM nerf.
Whiney Unskilled PLDs = Ninja/Utsusemi Nerf.

The only problem in this game has been the people.
Basically the Game is Ruled by the unskilled minority, because they are the ones that would rather bitch and whine, and make excuses rather than get off thier asses and do something to better themselves.

I am giving this game one more month, then I will decide if I am still goign to play, but so far from what I've seen, I don't think I will be around.
 
Yet it is also ruled by people who whore themselves out to the slightest imbalance. People flock to these NMs because they can control them and monopolize. People flock to rangers and leave others in Jeuno for no good reason. People flock to ninjas because taking no damage while dealing more damage sure sounds like some strange dream of a tank.

The people who are the brokers of imbalance are just as much to blame as the people who whine about the imbalance.
 
:shock:

That was actually very well said, Peregrine, I couldn't agree any more.

Nail on the head.

They aren't going to nerf just because people claim things are overpowered/don't give others a chance. There was some investigation in to the deal, SE saw there was a problem and promptly fixed it. If it hurt your ego, well, I'm sorry, blame your comrades in that job for taking things and exploiting them.

All bow down to Phraust as he expects us to suck his cock and kiss his ass.
 
Excuse me, what would a company like SE listen to if not complaints from their customers?

Good point. I guess they are going to change this update AGAIN because the number of complaints they shall recieve from ex-RNGs and NINs will be overwhelming. Again something im noticing, everyone who applauds the update and is saying to stop complaining, IS NOT EFFECTED BY THE UPDATE WHATSOEVER! :roll:
 
Wow is sort of the same, only people who suck at the game complain that their class is gimped and weak, while those who play it and do well dont say anything, so it seems like theres only complaints and no self respect for your class.

What's it lead to? Unnecessary buffs that make powerful classes EVEN MORE powerful and then people STILL whine that the class sucks... and thats cause they FUCKING SUCK! Or nerfs to other classes or races (the undead WOTF nerf, I do feel was kind of called for though...) that don't need to be there at all.

After reading the forums for WoW I'd HATE to be in the developer's shoes day to day... they get no slack for all the work they put out, sure they get paid, but my god all these people playing and enjoying their game just sit there and throw insults at them for making such a lousy game. And they don't stop playing...strangely enough. I mean, if you hate a game cause it's lousy, why do you keep playing it?
 
They do take suggestions. It's just that suggestions are usually complaint-driven :?

I understand the concern, but if it's all the same to anyone I'll join the unskilled minority here. You wouldn't be seeing these changes if people weren't abusing the privileges SE thought players could handle with a little bit of self-restraint and concern for their fellow players. When players sell padded caps to NPC's they get nerfed. When they pull the plug on their systems during a transaction they get nerfed. When they equip a 999 delay weapon and do multi-hit weaponskills on purpose, they get nerfed.

When people camp argus for their 5th PCC, they get nerfed.
When rangers openly mock dragoons in the protection of their elitist god linkshells, they get nerfed.

It's not just about being too lazy to be a ranger, or too lazy to camp argus. It's about people playing ranger because ranger is imbalanced. It's about people camping argus because camping argus is imbalanced. Those people ruin the game for the "unskilled." There is an arena where a PCC hunter is "unskilled." Show up to King Behemoth, and they quickly become the whiner.

But if they change King Behemoth spawn mechanics to give others a shot, will you curse at the lazy NAs who ***** and moan until something gets done, or will you cheer that finally some justice was served? To the JP's you're a lazy NA with no clue how to claim, and if you do, no clue how to keep, and if you do, no clue how to do it every single time.

I camped my boots and got my first taste of "gil hunters." I camped VE and got my fill of "gil hunters+1." I didn't even try archer's rings. So I crafted, because for as bad as the crafting whores are, they're nowhere near as suppressive as NM gil campers. And you know what...I'm more proud of my leaping boots, because they were obtained back in the day when people who needed them were out there.

Those days are here again hopefully.

Hey Phraust, guess what? You just joined the squeeky wheel club...

Now would this make you part of the unskilled minority?

Heh, gimp every class and give Shammy even more power boosts. I seriously think that like 80% of the developers play Shamans.

I don't think shamans are overpowered honestly, i have no problems beating them, thats for sure =P

Atleast agree that a skilled Shaman > everyone else. There is no counter-part on the alliance side to rival shaman. They hit harder, heal better and are harder to kill than a PLD.(the alliance counterpart atleast)

Anyway this topic about how Phraust thinks that unskilled people rule FF ... which is a general rule for ANY game. Good luck with what you decide to do P!

then why are their GMs still racist assholes?

they don't give a fuck about what people think, they just want you whiny pussies to shut the fuck up, easiest way, not to reform their whole gm system, whats second on these bitches list. o monopolizing and sitting on their asses in jeuno instead of forming a pt. ok lets change that.

and it is even to JP benifit, they already got their shit. lets make it harder for these NA asses to get theirs. whats the ratio of jp ls's to NA LSs right now in sky? 3-1, 4-1?

this is going to affect everyone praising this change when you hit sky, expecting that gimp ass melee who is still wearing his fucking bounding boots instead of thick gear or whatever is better for his job by then because SE hasnt handed it to him on a silver platter, to hit kirin.

instead of writing SE the whole time you were LFG maybe you should of been learning how to make gil, why do the same people get the same nm's every time? they cheat? stfu. they have 30939593439 mules watching the area? stfu. i'll tell you why,

BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE FOR EVERY POP!!!!!!

if you want to beat them you have to show up. i used to help my friend camp o kote when the drg sellers ran that place. while all the whiny little bitches where on the ls or in jeuno complaining, we were 6/7 on claims on mee degi. you guys were getting owned by uneducated people who work in gil sweatshops.

and what is with the "well these items where only designed for people who needed them" bullshit. you all stfu too. if that was the case these items would be in your inventory next to you fucking onion dagger.

and NA's wonder why JP's kick our ass up and down this server. because the majority of you pussies would rather sit around the fucking camp fire singing kumbaya.

i'm glad all i'm doing is making gil on my friends account, i'm tired of hearing everyone beat before they even step onto the field. i can't do this cause of these people, SE do something please. stfu grow a pair.[/quote]

Because the game delevopers who are bringing us changes and updates have no control over the GMs. Only the high-profile people in SE can do anything about the GM issue, but I guess they are slow to react or find it hard to replace the biased GMs, who knows? I'm saying that not all complaints will go through, just the easy-to-handle ones like job imbalance will get something done by the developers.

Same thing.

Since when has this topic become an argument about elite/gimp gear?

And I don't recall seeing anything about making gil popping up in this thread, either.

The reason they got NMs every pop is because they have been camping that NM for a long time and they get better each time they succeed. Newcomers rarely got a chance because of lack of skill. Obviously SE doesnt like that. Just because you were 6/7 doesn't mean others will have the same luck or skill.

Never heard this argument before, I agree it's a weak one but so is
"if that was the case these items would be in your inventory next to you fucking onion dagger"

You think the JPs don't play any part in bringing about this update?

Welcome to the club of bitching, complaining "pussies" :D
 
the complaint mail goes to the same place i'm sure, only the GM complaints end up getting recycled as the CEOs toilet paper. And yes I have a 75 RNG. I gave up on most leveling activities, was only looking forward to a couple special events.

The big problem i see with this is update concerning RNG is this. You go out and buy a classic car, and proceed to dump thousands of dollars into the car to make it look/perform better. then one day, after all the toyota echo drivers complain to the Gov, you walk out to see your car stripped down to the metal with a little 3 cyliinder engine where your big block used to be.

whether you are lvl 20 or 75 all the gil you wasted on RNG is just that, wasted. I played RNG after 64 levels of DRK because i wanted to do even more damage. Now i just wasted months of leveling and a whole shitload of gil on ammo to be turned into a THF with no SATA, a BLM with no MP, a gangster rapper who (50) snitches to the feds. that shit aint right like two left shoes.

like i've explained in other posts, everyone would be upset if their job was severely altered. Ya any moron can adjust, last night i played 74 BRD for the first time, and I pulled like 12k xp in 2 hours, so i know adjusting to a job I already know is going to be cake (without any gimped as RNGs lol)

this game is easy, people just make it harder on themselves than they need to.
 
Squeak damn you!

SQUEEAAAAKK!!!!!

As a general rule, game designers may listen to the squeaky wheels long enough to look at a problem, but most of them adjust things based on what they see AFTER they look rather than the whining that prompted them to start looking in the first place.
