The amount of cry babies....

That's right, the game is perfect the way it is. No one has any right to complain about things they dislike.

Yes, you're right, I could stop playing (I did) and stop paying them (I did). But that doesn't mean I can't say in theory what I'd like to see changed if I were able to do so.

The fact is, there's a lot that SE's done to the game that's painted them into a corner and if they made any number of the proposed changes here, they'd have more upset players than they would have happy ones.

Let's just take endgame in general as an example. They have to add WotG endgame content. In fact, they have to a certain degree already. There's already enough endgame content to fill up a week of playtime if you're crazy enough to do all of it (and some people are). If the endgame content added at the end of WotG is substantial, there's going to be a lot of interest and people will want to work it in. That's a good and a bad thing, really. Good for SE and those hardcore into the endgame grind, bad for anyone sane.

This is why they're making FFXIV, though - so they can have more design freedom and try new things.

At the end of the day, I feel like this is the situation:

Win comic!

I agree, a lot can't be changed without major overhaul and/or uproar. But this thread isn't a "Let's send suggestions to SE" thing, it's just discussion on things we think would be kinda cool maybe. It's fun to talk about how some things might work, or might not. I don't think there's any harm in it.

Granted we bitch a lot about what SE does but as paying customers I think we have that right. Even though we know they're not listening. I think it brings a lot more flavor to the forum when people disagree, and we do so with civility so I don't see what the huge deal is.

And honestly, if people don't want to read bitching or crying posts, they should stay out of threads that say "What do you want to change?" or "What's your pet peeve?" Just saying. I loved playing this game for five years. There is a part of me that still wants to log in daily. I'm sure that will pass eventually. But just because I loved the game didn't mean I had to follow blindly and never express discontent with it. And this thread is nothing but speculation, fun, if you will. I don't see any real crying here. If you're talking about something in another thread, address it there. No need to turn this thread, which was interesting and had some great "what if" discussions, into a drama bitchfest.
