Matsui: "Don't Throw Away Your R/M/E Weapons Yet"

It's like you instinctively knew what picture I posted!

I don't know if anybody, especially SE, has realized what is happening now, is almost exactly what has happened to FFXIV after it's initial release:

1 - People are not paying and supporting this, and are cancelling their accounts
2 - People are consistantly talking about cancelling their accounts, or are in the thought process that if things don't improve, they are going to cancel their account.
3 - Lots of bad opinions from the fanbase. Eventually this can get onto video game publications and websites, which will only increase bad publicity about SE's diminishing reputation as a company.
4 - You still got some, but not many, thinking this is a good idea. Everybody is welcome to their opinion, and if you like it, you like it. But if just as many people like it as much as people liked the original FFXIV, then obviously the future doesn't look good.

So if they are experiencing a bout of Deja Vu at the offices of SE, there's a really good reason. Cause it's not that far off.

Hey, if this game goes free for a year+, then whatever.

I always imagined that when the time comes they would just shut down the game rather than making it f2p.

To be fair, most popular forums don't permit the open discussion of removed posts. Most of that majority don't permit you to even bring it up to a mod. A mod deleted it and taht is that.

I wanted to say something snarky about the unfortunate "technical difficulties" that only affected players critical of them, but I'd rather keep my account, for now.

69 pages and if im not mistaken we havent had mention of the holocaust yet well till now...

Why the other two posts? I have a feeling they are just blindly removing anything with names in them, like Tanaka or Matsui. Only thing I see between them, but as to why, I don't know.

Forums are probably a poor representation of the game population as a whole. People also like to talk big in public, but I see many of them continuing with the gear grind despite their protests. You're also discounting subscriptions from returning players curious what all the hullaboloo is about.

The gloom and doom scenarios are getting trite.

Someone posted a picture trying to compare Nazi rule to SE business practices, but I didn't think to quote it before he/she removed it :(

still impressive

You'd think with them losing subscribers left and right, they'd try not to take action on anyone for petty reasons.

Someone go just post "Akihiko Matsui" and see if they get it removed. lol

^ It's hard to let it go, that's for sure.

There's nothing I look forward to in game atm, but I love the pixels...? I won't win this argument alone, nor will any other one person, nor will any 10, or any 1000, especially when there's the increasingly-believable possibility they just doing give a f*** about this game because FOURTEEN IS SALVATION OVERDID IT WITH STRIKETHROUGH, EXCITED, AND NOW CAPSLOCK IS STUCK.

You know, has anyone ever thought about SE sabotaging FFXI so they can boost population on 14 so they can stop running XI servers?

People are always resistant to change even if it is needed. I was upset about weapons at first but the bottom line is I took a 17 month break, came back at christmas, and was already out of stuff to do. Now my spreadsheet is full of new toys I want to get my hands on.

Last night in a delve fight one of the pickup melees was wearing an optical hat. That was not ok with me. Then I realized I knew people that had relics that were as old as optical hats. Its time for something new. The whole game had become botting to buy more relics. Im less focused on fairness and more on fun.

The game is full of things that can nullify your efforts. Ranger nerf. Two handed adjustment. Dark 2h nerf. The list hoes on and on. We can go back to only one objective or we can have a game of new hotness. Im at least going to give it a chance.

Yes, we already made fun of those people, tho.

I specifically posted "I don't like Matsui's response". It's not like you can't name them or criticize them, just don't be a smartass and they won't ban you.

meanwhile in the midwest a hillbilly bangin his goat is the more satisfied man at this moment....

There was that chap curious if he could milk a male cow a pages back...

Aha!

Bestiality. This is the best thread EVAR

Lets stay on topic. I want to see if this thread can hit 100 pages without me having to lock it.

sorry all my rational thoughts got broken ive asked the dev team to fix them

Hi :)

Want us to talk about soda again?

I wonder what Matsui's fave soda is.

As long as Matsui is responsible, yes.

Matsui would just say soda gave him bellyache.

It would be bad for his developing ulcers.

Is he saying that the overpowered weapons are really his ulcers and that the ulcers were so overpowering from the soda?

no he would increase the caffeine and sugar a disgusting amount and then dodge questions

"I do not have a favorite soda, but I will seek one, maybe I will find one."

My shell has had 60+ members on at times. Never less than 25.
Since update, the most I've seen is 16.
Most are on my friendlist and most seem to be offline.
but then again, what would I know - I log on for 2 minutes, say hi, then afk in front of AH for days.
