[Dev] We Reject Your Ideas And Substitute Our Own

Okipuit Community Rep		Hello~ Thank you for the suggestion! We can certainly understand the functionality of this request but this is where we currently stand: System wise, we can extend the range that chat logs receive information. The issue is that if we do widen that range, it will cause an increase in lag. We wouldn't want an unexpected decrease in frame rate especially during intense battles. We hope for your understanding.

Mythbusters!

The real answer is that we are afraid it will crash the game with the patchwork programing we did. The same way the AH originally did when we first tried to make it hold 8 items.

I've been gone for a week shopping for a new laptop and just decided to check up on any new news that I might have missed. To no surprise nothing really happened, but if you're interested in reading any of the posts here are all the 'no's given this week.

lol, sometimes I wonder why the Official Forums even exist if most of the time we just get "no no no no no"

and seriously, the Excalibur en-light issue is complete ***. I don't even own the weapon and I have a problem with that response.

Hey guys, we're not doing anything. Still. Just keeping you updated.

It's just one of the many examples I feel that shows how poorly they built and treated their game over the years. How difficult is it really to add 20 to 30 in the damage formula.

I think I found the development team's water cooler.

What the hell is my watercooler doing in their office? That's a patented design. Jerks.

It looks to me like it's one guy, they ask him, then change his response to "we" & "team" these look more like excuses from one dude whose too bogged down already.

Sometimes when I read these I get the feeling that they let Daniel Bryant of the WWE pen the replies... NO NO NO!

Honestly, even though it's ***, enlight making the additional effect not trigger saved my sanity during trials.

Step 1: Get mob low enough for crappy KoR to kill it
Step 2: Excal's en effect kills mob
Step 3: Cry

That said, yes, it's ridiculous, since Enlight is actually a boost to damage on a job that really needs it. Also, I can't imagine how screwy their code is that this is a non-starter.

Slycer BG Translator		Regarding Riftcinder/Riftdross Supply Hello! There is a difference in the market price because of a difference in demand. This isn't true just for riftcinder, you can say the same for any item. As the price and profitability of the item increases, it will be balanced by natural circulation and increased supply. On the other hand, if we increase the supply in accordance with the popularity of the event over time, it will throw off the balance. So, no changes are planned at this time. Translated by: Slycer

Slycer BG Translator		Regarding Expansion of the Macro Palette {{I fudged parts of this a little where it got technical, but I think it captured the meaning behind the post.}} Regarding extending the number of rows in macros; this has not been implemented base on our policy because it cannot be supported by the Playstation 2 version. We've said this in other places, so I hope you can also refer to past posts, but this is in order to avoid adding mechanisms which can lead to botted actions, since you cannot execute many actions with one macro in the current state. We ask for your understanding in this situation. Translated by: Slycer

No sorry, we don't give you our understanding. *stomps*

Slycer BG Translator		Regarding High-Level Synthesis Materials Hello and thanks for all of your feedback! Since materials used in high level synthesis are rare, they can be very expensive. That said, it is intended to be that way since they are aimed at higher levels, but we are aware that this presents difficulty as far as raising synthesis skills at these high levels. One of the factors causing this is the location of where the synthesis materials come from, such as high-end content like Legion, since the distribution of those items is dependent on the degree of participation in the content. While there was initially very low supply, as some time has passed since the introduction of the content, the situation has gradually eased up. However, we are looking at the current number of skilled high level craftsmen, and, while it is hard to say yet whether there is a sufficient supply of synthesis materials since the situation is just now easing up, we will continue to watch the distribution of these materials and potentially expand the availability of some of these items.

Slycer BG Translator		Regarding the Probability of Treasure Hunter Rising Acerola Bunch of questions about TH (something something idk) In the post at this time I'll answer with some brief comments. Since various things can change the conditions, it is difficult to provide a single answer. There is an increased probability in the occurrence of TH level rising when the difference between the value of the player's TH and the value of the current TH level on the monster are further apart. Therefore, equipment that raises the TH level above the natural trait level will prove advantageous from the beginning of the battle or if the TH level has already risen. There have been requests that THFs would like to switch equipment after giving the effect of Treasure Hunter. Since this would reduce the overall value of Treasure Hunter equipment by diminishing the benefit in raising the TH level, we will maintain the current situation. Hopefully this answered your questions. Translated by: Slycer

We understand, but no.
We hope you understand.

Wow, after reading some of these it really makes me think of how shitty SE can be. :/

the com-rep(and devs) life would be soo much easyer if they would just write "No" alls those bla bla excuses for their no's.. lol..

THFs don't need any help in situations where TH is needed.

Yeah, if you really want TH you're beating it to death with as few buffs (excluding haste) as possible to limit damage and increase total hits. Not a big deal.

Wait so, full timing TH gear is actually a good thing? I'm not sure I read that right.

That's how I read it too.

interesting facts about TH

As they reject so many ideas apparently and ive not registered on there if someone else cares enough could you ask them to merge the sea obis into one chatoyant obi as ive mentioned on here before after chatoyant staff was released. I wouldnt care if Yurim? wanted another 50 organs. Dont see what they could have against this idea.

SE: "We don't give a *** about your ideas or how you feel about your favorite classes. But, we love it when you waste your time giving out suggestions that will be entirely disregarded. Thank you for your understand that we don't give a ***about you or what you think."

...even when we pay money to play your game, you guys can't even care enough to actually do what the players want.

I know this is a long shot, but people are seriously going to stop giving out suggestions and ideas, if you keep denying things that we want. Or even worse, SE, quit FFXI altogether.

Learn to get your head out of your *** and start listening to your players, to the people that actually SPEND money.

It irritates the living hell out of me, that companies like this don't even listen to their costumers. And to think, 'Costumers are always right'.

ftfy

Winning in an MMO? Didn't you read the ToS?

Your own fault!
