June 2025 Version Update
It's not lying, it's just tweaking the numbers a little, perfectly normal and has never lead to anything negative happening down the road
Shiva.Thorny said: » Carbuncle.Nynja said: » Its not about the surplus, its about not having to go as often. At 85k per run, it takes you 100 runs to get the 8.5m gally needed, you have to go 4x a week to keep pace. At 130k/run, it takes you 64 runs to get the 8.5m gally, you only need to do Sortie 3x a week to keep pace. The problem with this line of logic is that you don't have to go at all. If you don't enjoy the content, you probably shouldn't be beating your head against a wall doing it just to get the next shiny. There's not a whole lot to use them on anyway. Carbuncle.Nynja said: » If SE said "we tripled the Galli offered in sortie but the lockout timer is tripled to 60 hours", not one person here would *** about it. Nvm, one person would, we all know who. Nothing there answers this statement Seun said: » It's flawed. Sorties a shitty event thats 50% running around. The fact someone can bump an 85k run to an alleged 135k (this seems exaggerated but who knows) simply by cheating to eliminate the time spent running around is testament to this.

You mean the starstones and sapphires that everyone had so many of and no one had any idea what to do with so SE made them NPCable? Thats the so called flaw??? Shichishito said: » Dodik said: » Guys, come on. If sortie is twice a week how is Fujito going to point to number of daily logins as an argument to keep the lights on. Can't lie about subscriber numbers, it shows up in revenue. Banned accounts make no revenue and can be made up. wasn't about subscribers, was about daily logins.
Carbuncle.Nynja said: » Oh this? This is the flaw??? You mean the starstones and sapphires that everyone had so many of and no one had any idea what to do with so SE made them NPCable? Thats the so called flaw??? BTW star stones are a real issue when soloing, in particular if you can't do dhartok yet, once you do drops are somewhat catching up but still still occasionally see galli 80k+ and waiting for starstones. Daily logins dont matter.
Management will equate/extrapolate daily logins to subscriber numbers.
It's just management BS in order to keep the XI cost center alive (budget). Once again
Daily logins dont matter Every subscription you pay for doesnt give a ***how often you use it, they care about the dollars that roll in monthly. If you pay for Youtube Premium and use it zero times in a month, Youtube isnt gonna email you and be like "hey, I notice you didnt use your Youtube premium". Netflix isnt gonna say "hey, we noticed you didnt watch anything this month". Your phone provider isnt gonna say "hey we noticed youre paying extra for long distance but didnt call anyone long distance this month". The only thing SE cares about is how many people with FFXI subscriptions paid their $12.95 that month.

You mean the starstones and sapphires that everyone had so many of and no one had any idea what to do with so SE made them NPCable? Thats the so called flaw??? You really don't think it would affect you only getting 1/3 the sapphire/starstones, 1/3 the cases and 1/3 the -drites? I mean if it's a choice then that's fine because you can make your decision, but that's not something I'd choose because I don't think the tradeoff is worth it. Is there a reason the White and Black Cards were not updated in Wiki to Permanent Key Items instead of Temporary?
Update it then

Whats “flawed” is the piss poor earring system and that joke of one-time RoEs they implemented

Carbuncle.Nynja said: » Sorties been out for well over 2 yrs now, hows your ear+2 collection with the 20 hour daily lockout? You have me confused with someone who cares about earrings. That said, just because I don't care doesn't mean other people don't... Taint said: » Sortie RoE Monthly. 1/3 less drops is 1/3 less drops. Even if you remove earrings from consideration, this has an impact on both your armor upgrades and your prime upgrades, which are the actual point of being in the content in the first place... Someone who does sortie 4-7x a week isnt struggling for sapphires or starstones or hedrites.
The people who go 0-2x a week that need these items are still gonna go 0-2x a week So the people who go 4+ times a week will see less NPCable fodder and the people who go 0-2 times a week will see no change to their stone supply. The earring system is *** trash and this change will change a shitty system to a very marginally shittier system.  |
