I wonder if they will be acting all smug and silly next time, or this whole shitshow will keep them on apologetic mode for the foreseeable future.

>>714148018
>>714148095
neither of those things consumed resources that would have went to fixing the game

very bad timing though. agreed

If they really want to fix shit, the would need to put a normal mode FT into OC and have the hard version be accessible via queue in the phantom village.

First of all, it wasn't.
Second of all, CS3 still makes those items.

>>714148152
Both of these things and all the other cash shop things they have should expand the resources they have.

Irrelevant, if they actually wanted to spend the money they would have the manpower. Stop stanning corporations.

>>714146447

Weren't these things 10 bucks max before? Holy shit.

>>714148460
i'm not defending them. i'm ensuring you're not making shit up to undermine the cause

>>714148482
The outfit literally costs more than the expansion

>>714148482
xiv is dying, they are trying to extract as much money as they can before it goes under after 8.0

>>714148312
So are you starting a new folder here, little faggot? Because no one with a criticism worth a damn is dragging out half-year old side story about Wuk lamat to complain about it featuring Wuk lamat.

>>714148121
Most likely they will cancel or scale down any new fanfests. I don't think SE would want them to be throwing a party when even the investors are unhappy with the game direction.

>>714148425
>CS3 still makes those items.
That doesn't sound right

You made this thread already.

>>714148482
Other Square projects need money. XIV also needs money but pleasing the userbase of XIV is not the priority of the development leadership.

>>714148425
don't the coporations that run xiv in korea and china have their own version of the cash shop and they generate the cash shop outfits and not cbu3?

>>714148530
>>714148532
>>714148482
I used to think FFXIV having a cash shop as an MMO that requires an active subscription AND paid expansions was bad enough as is, but this is full-blown kikery. What ever happened to earning shit in-game?

Still 100 times better shit than this:

>>714148702
Cocoli please, your desperation is cringe

>>714148591
Square wants people to quit XIV because there's a 10% chance they'll forget to cancel their sub and Square will just get free money forever. Then that'll also free them up to go play one of Square's shitty live service gacha games that will make them 4000 dollars per player instead of 40 bucks.

I guarantee you that despite XIV literally bankrolling the entire company for a decade, Square leadership sees it as a massive liability that they need to stop depending on ASAP.

>>714148554
>>714148602

Folder dumping personality was getting banned too often so it got changed out for the "artbook dumper" or "lalafell stalker" personality.

What are the options for 8.0 being a proper back to form for XIV?

>>714148871
You didn't even read my post.

>>714149326
I haven't posted the artbook in a few months, I think. I'm also not the folder dumper, not that he cares. Anyway today in Final Fantasy I ran Forked Tower. It was a big waste of 4 hours because people can't figure out how to do the slime mechanic on Dead Stars for some reason.

>xivsisters swear up and down that xiv is fine and wow is dead

>>714149442

Can you believe it's almost been ten years of the mod tantruming over this game nonstop?

Time sure flies huh

>>714149326
>Define 'proper and back to form'.
Shadowbringer tier expansion? Something that satisfies both storyfags and raidfags and all the other fags.
I know that without the Covid boost the numbers will never reach those times again, but still. ShB was the last time everyone seemed genuinely hopeful for XIV.

>>714144514
the fact that this mindbroke the nigga so hard still makes me laugh

Would the patch have gone over better if FT was a normal mode instead of what we have now? Keep the entrance way the same and make the difficulty around DRN/CLL. Feels to me that with that, the whole OC grind would have a nice capstone, and the weather popping would actually be a nice break from the CE farm.

I find the dooming really funny because the last time I played was pre-EW and class homogenization was way fucking worse back then, to mention one thing. I remember the AST rework in particular.

>>714148095
>>714146447
can someone combine both of these in an image with also yoshi p saying they dont have money

>>714149498
ShB was the beggining of the end.

>>714149554
Attempts being timegated by the weather AND buy in+lottery is why it's bad, the difficulty just compounds it

>>714149572
it's a pretty directionless complaint that doesn't really know what it wants out of class changes beyond reverts to what was familiar, there's jobs that struggle way harder with stagnancy like warrior or dragoon than the usual targets of astrologian, dark knight and scholar

>>714149554
The only bad part about FT is playing the fucking lottery trying to force spawn an instance that can accommodate a premade.

>>714149487
you will say the game is dead or else i'll kill you and then myself but before i kill us both i'm going to manually post my folder in alphabetical order and then when i get banned for it i'm going to hop IPs and complain about my own pet boogeyman and feign being on topic.

Ok so let me ask completely seriously and unironically
according to some of you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with XIV then?
like, forget the doomposting. just a straight up "is the game in perfect condition right now"?
is that what you actually believe?
genuine question.

>>714149618
If the difficulty wasn't there, the time would be a non issue and naturally forming groups could just clear the content. Current FT absolutely needs a normal queue, even letting people queue into the same OC instance won't solve much since you still need to wait for the weather and still need to hope no one snipes.

>>714149468
the kids you groom on discord do know YOU exist, xivfag hahaha

AST card change for the raiders (cheaters) was the beggining of the end.

>>714149652
I can list exactly what I want out of every class but it's pointless coping fanfiction so there's no reason to autism bomb the thread. Ultimately it's the dev team's job to decide how they want each job to shine. But it something they have to do, and something they've admitted they have to do, so you being a bitch about it really adds nothing except your own pointless cope.

>>714148095
Not even an in-game item or emote. Shameless.

>>714149717
No negativity in the dojo, kemosabe.

No bullshit I finished the first expansion (forgot the name) with a buddy in 2021 but he burned out after 300 hours and I called it quits. I have an mmo itch again and was considering just making a whole new character and am willing to suffer for a bit to get back to speed. Am I retarded?

>>714143995 (OP)

>>714148698
>nobody talking about wow
BUT WHAT ABOUT WOW???????????????????????

>>714149804
course they can. all the current issues they have are all fixable. the msq is on its way to being fixed, OC just needs some tweaks

>>714149803
just play classic wow instead

>>714149717
things i don't like about the game are pretty nitpicky or are so closely intertwined with the game itself and its design mold that i would be better suited finding another game than i would expecting, let alone demanding, those parts of the game change

>>714149498
Well that's a down right reasonable expectation. Really though it's hard to say. It's not impossible by any means, it really just needs them to set up a good story and make sure to promise a decent amount of post-patch content.
Getting patch cycles back under control and getting some of that content out earlier aren't really necessary even if it'd be preferred. I'm otherwise not really sure what to say for 'options' specifically though.

>>714149803
If you really want to get back to it play till EW and immediately drop the game once you beat it's msq.

>>714149869
>OC just needs some tweaks
Just watch them introducing another chaotic tier raid for the next area with no normal version. No, Yoshida didn't say the next one WILL have a normal version, he said they are trying which means jackshit at this point.

>>714149554
Depends, but I can guarantee these threads would be filled with "HAHA FT IS TOO EASY EVERYONE IS DONE NO CONTENT" instead of "WAAAH THE RAID TRANNIES DID THIS"

>>714150039
>"HAHA FT IS TOO EASY EVERYONE IS DONE NO CONTENT"
No one except for content creator troons would say that.

>>714149554
FT is not even mechanically hard, they could make it relatively puggable by removing the death limit and ress restriction, make it so that if you wipe you respawn inside the tower until people voluntarily leave or a timer runs out, and off you go.
You'd have to do the NA special and place markers to make sure you have enough people to soak towers and I guess you'd have to ress cheese your way through Holy Lance at the end, but it could be done.

I feel you'd need to slow the casts down a little and probably make bridges easier, tweak numbers down. Also give people a room where they can switch phantom jobs so you don't have to line that up in the few minutes mirage weather is out.

>>714145318
What antagonists from before dawntrail are even left?

>>714149717
The game has literally never been in a perfect condition. There has never been a state of 'Nothing wrong' with XIV and anyone who says otherwise is blind.
But most of the stuff currently happening isn't even that bad. The patch plots have potential to recover 7.0's fumble well enough to passable and the content so far is acceptable. Chaotic was an 'interesting' experiment and I wish they hadn't been so stupid as to release it on fucking Christmas. But then maybe if they're sticking their head up their asses and focusing on Japan it means that they've tossed some of the western influence. Won't know for certain on that until fanfest honestly.

Should have had a puggable normal mode in the instance and what we've got should have been a savage mode queueable from the outside by full premades.
They fucked up royally. The actual content is fun but the logistics around it make it absolutely insufferable.

All they need to do is remove Kate
... And speed up the release of content
Everything else can be forgiven. For even if they release shitty content, as long I don't have to wait HALF A FUCKING YEAR, I wont mind as much.

>>714150149
>faggot gooner can't appreciate spandex shorts

I genuinely don't know what people want out of DRK because half the complaints I see about the DT version are "it's too hard now". These people live in a fairy tale world where there exists "perfect" classes that aren't hard but have a bunch of interesting and optimizations to make.

And it comes with ignoring the optimizations and skill expressions you can already do with the existing classes, or downplaying them for the sake of sn imaginary design or a previous version of the job. Most players fucking hated Dark Knight back in Stormblood but there were still sickos that knew which spells or skills were useful to Dark Arts and when, past the obvious one of Abyssal Drain for mass crowd HP leech.

>What's with this shizo questioning every single post being posted?
>Sorry, i wasnt here on previous threads, so what the fuck is going on.
There was a guy who was completely and utterly mindbroken by the overwhelming negative response to Dawntrail and he has spent the past year making it his life mission to defend Wuk Lamat, Sena Bryer, and Kathryn Cwyner 24/7. He is has been seething over a specific group of "doomers" he thinks is responsible for all the hate against Dawntrail, while also blaming youtubers like Zepla for betraying the game he so loves. He's also suspected to be behind the lalafel avatarfags who have been posting here nonstop for the past 3 years, as he will defend them at every given opportunity (despite avatarfagging being against board rules and more importantly culture) and that they've also historically been gigantic white knights like him, but also because they share his very unique, passive-aggressive and disingenous argumentation style where he will take whatever you said, argue around your point, and actively avoid adressing your argument and put words in your mouth in an attempt to make you sound dumb and insane so he can declare a false victory over a strawman he's invented out of your arguments.

He also, notably, never posts any FFXIV screenshots or reaction images despite being the most ardent white knight the game has ever seen on this entire website, but will post endless western-cartoon reaction images (like Spongebob or Homestuck, hence the name he's been given, "Homestuck") which is very odd. He is also suspected to be a janitor or mod, as he has repaetedly alluded to knowing things that only a janny or mod would know, and fucking with him often results in getting you banned.

>Tracy Fullerton
>Sweetbaby Inc.

That alone gives everything away. If the DT MSQ was not proof enough that the game has been infiltrated by Jews, just look at Yoshi-P and his interview questions. Full on contempt for the playerbase while sucking off shareholders. It's all for shareholders. All of it. They are so fucking whack they forget they have to SELL the game somehow and instead have killed it through sheer incompetence and narcissism. All Jewish traits that will be their fucking downfall.

Depends on how much feet dragging there is, but in theory it should be late summer 2026, the patches have been about four months and some change. The only way it's 2027 is if they really drag their feet to wait for june/july release window, which would be pretty fucking stupid.

That's not how it works bwo. The game has been massively profitable with just the minimum amount of maintenance and content, they are investing the money it makes into creating another game to create similar profits. Now of course we all know how that's gone... but this is a pretty basic strategy in essence

>>714151392
You cannot convince me this is a male. Nothing about this character is masculine. Absolutely nothing.

>Do MSQ
>Bored af
>Queue for any roulette
>Something I've done a thousand times last expac pops up
>Still bored after finishing that
>resume MSQ
>Still bored
>Queue for PVP
>Okeyish but still something I've done quite the amount of times last expac
>Resume MSQ
>Finally ONE (1) (uno) (ένα) (ひとつ) new dungeon/trial
>Finish it
>Resume boring MSQ
Now it might have more new stuff to do but I quit because everything new was locked behind boring MSQ that even skipping it was too boring.
To you that might be personal preference but me being forced to play a boringly crafted MSQ that I'm not invested it (you can argue that previous expac msqs were worse but at least I was somewhat invested after the years) is a terrible idea and I don't blame anyone for quitting

>>714151490
>>714151889
schizo moment

>>714144514
Oh man, someone took the time to document it?

>>714152058
Chaotic was the worst grinding experience Ive ever had in ff14, it took me 50 clears to get all the rewards and gear with the tokens and that is only cause I got lucky and rolled the cloud mount so I could save the totems for the armor sets. I never wanna see another raid wide in my life

>>714152221
We all remember it happening though, sloppy. Less obvious next time yeah?

>>714152058
Chaotic failed pretty spectacularly. They still haven't learned anything from Criterion and they keep on repeating the same mistake over and over.
Mr. Ozma needs to be reigned in.

>>714152058
It was pretty funny seeing the pf filled with 10+ clear requirement parties that kicked you after checking your fflogs

>>714152058
>A single fight per year, or per expansion?
please understand, no funds.
see the bright side, wow did this for the whole sneedolands expansion and still keeps going, maybe ff14 can do it too

Unironically, to the people who still support this game.
What would Square Enix realistically have to do for you to lose faith in them? What measures would they need to employ or what level of neglect would need to occur for you to quit the game? Or stop defending it?
I'm not attacking you. I just want to understand your thought-process.
Why is this game worth defending anymore to you? Tell me so I can understand, please.

Fights are too hard and not enough fun for the majority of the playerbase. How do we fix this?

>>714152396
The exact kind of thing YoshiP said he didn't want to see any of when asked why the game doesn't have a built in DPS meter/clear tracking
He really needs to go scorched earth on Dalamud and third party tools

>>714152467
I will never lose faith in SE even if the make me pick an NPC to marry and make a full explicity and detailed cutscene of that NPC getting raped and killed in front of my WoL, unable to do anything. Actually that would be hot ngl but still even then I won't give up on Yoshida Naoki and CO!

>>714152467
ban mods
if they touch dalamud or mare then im not giving a fucking cent to this company.

>>714152525
Then people will check your achievements. If one guy in 24 fucking up means you wasted time, people will always find ways to gate keep.

>>714152485
It was never 'too hard' for me, it was just the fact that the job rotations felt very bland and samey. The gameplay at its core lacked something to make it enjoyable to me. When you run ultimate or savage or anything you're usually starting with trial and error. And your tools to employ during the fight are actually really limited if you think about it.
You have your mit. You have your GCDs. You have a few heals or debuffs to try with the boss. Maybe some interrupts. That's it. And popping pots mid fight is kind of a buzz-kill.
It feels extremely restrictive in a weird way and that really brings my ability to enjoy the combat to near zero.
I only enjoy myself with friends, and they've all quit the game by now. So if I subbed and played solo I would just hate it.

>>714152485
Create a raid where you control the monster for a specific mech. Like mind control stuff/possession to make it jump in spikes to take damage

>>714152645
Or control it to kill the adds instead or something

>>714152485
I don't vibe with the gotcha nature of fights, meaning I will always have to study beforehand. Honestly, if you go blind into content and you don't even understand why you died because the mechanics vomit has become too convoluted, it is a game design issue. World first fags have entire teams reviewing their footage to find out what happened. Body checks are another thing I abhor and are the pinnacle of artificial difficulty in this game.

Relearning every boss from 0 is just so frustrating. I'd rather master my Job and be able to use that experience, but at this point in XIV that just translates to really bad minutia of managing cooldowns and greeding uptime.
>>714152735
Gordias had that with certain mobs and the raiding community hated it because one guy had to stop pressing buttons and could work on his log.

>>714152485
Take a look at WoW and realize FF's barely disguised 2D engine with no physics outside of collision detection can't handle any innovative mechanics.

>>714153035
The fact that Shukichi doesn't teleport is so dumb, but I guess that could help NIN dodge shitty DDR mechanics, and we can't have that in XIV.

>>714152816
Do you think ff14 well ever design a truly random fight with different mechanics happening at different points each run or are they forever sticking to the scripted ddr fights that always do the same order of attacks?

>>714152485
Do a 180 on class and fight design. Easier mechanics and enrage timers, much harder class gameplay.
The skill ceiling is so pathetically low that 99.99% of the content is worthless dogshit while the "relevant" content is so demanding on memorization that it's just a walkthrough game. It doesn't need to be hard to be fun, it just needs to be enjoyable to play and having a big gap between skill floor and ceiling is what the game needs.

>>714148312

>>714153387
I could hear the smile song in this picture

>>714143995 (OP)
You now remember that year when people actually tried to astroturf it by jumping the WoW ship.
Ahahaha.

>>714152485
The time has come to finally bin enrages.

>>714153490
like an aoe prompt going off

>>714153364
>It doesn't need to be hard to be fun, it just needs to be enjoyable to play
I think this is where the JP devs have lost it. For them the enjoyment is exact execution and optimisation AND prog raiding aka figuring out the puzzle of how to not die. However, people enjoying that are probably in the minority and just watch a guide to get through with it.

>>714152586
sanest ff14 ERPer

>Alphinaud's and Alisaie's VAs are going to play through coils together
Isn't regular Coils kind of... hard?

>>714153707
Enrages are necessary because otherwise there's no ultimate punishment for sucking terribly and eating damage downs/deaths over the course or of a fight or coming in undergeared.

>>714153035
this

the game won't be unfucked unless they re-develop it again, akin to the new mobile version or make a new mmo altogether. are they willing to go that far again? who knows, rumors say that 8.0 will be massively delayed, so maybe there is something big brewing in the background - 8.0 is the last big copium for the fanbase

>>714154052
It would be okay the player could run out of resources and at that point the group would wipe due to damage. But resource management is not fun and doesn't work with highly scripted DDR fights.

>>714154051
Yes, they're going to get bodied. Alphinaud's VA literally never played video games before and he still spams Quick Nock on single targets even though he's in Heavensward.

>>714151812
Look at that tranny lmaoooooo.

calyx is just more hiroi slop. cant believe you guys think hes going to be some long runinng antagonist. hes out by 7.3
hes also not shale thats retarded as fuck.

>>714154102
>rumors say that 8.0 will be massively delayed
I fucking hope so. Development would have started sometime around EW, which would check out since they canceled all reworks for two expansions and shifted them to 8.0.
If it's now delayed it means they scrapped everything they did after DT turned out to be the worst pile of shit ever concieved.

>>714154316
That's nothing. That Russian wizard guy that streamed the game a while back managed to make it through the entire second tier of Pandaemonium Savage as a warrior while only doing the basic 1-2-3 combo.

>>714154440
Even without the reception to DT, just look at the patch timings. 7.3 will be in August, which means 7.4 is in late December. 7.5 part 1 would be in April or May. Then 7.5 part 2 would be in August or September. 8.0 could release in the winter, but they wanted to get back to a summer release schedule with DT which would place it almost a full year after 7.5 part 2. And I really hope if they do something that dangerous they've got something to show for it.

wow, a cup earring, this moogle event for sure it's worth it.

>>714154052
Spending 20 hours as opposed to 20 minutes to finish a run is punishment enough. Retards deserve the latest rainbow dragon mount too if they're dedicated enough.

>>714154102
They are working in x remake, x-3 and 17 according to some leaker

>>714149554
With that change along OC would be better than Eureka or Bozja and there'd be much more community goodwill. They fumbled so hard by only making the discord version of the raid and putting it in-instance.

>>714154650
>ruby gwiber
I love how they eventually put these things in these events so I never have to waste my time doing lame content like EX trials.

>>714154051

how is this even possible? They've spent hours on the game. Have they never considered even reading the other abilities or how they interact? Or completing their job quests and reading their quest log? They even have viewers screaming at them the optimal shit to do.

The Zero arc and all Dawntrail are probably the worst written stories in FFXIV, these writers should be fired.

I dont think I remember the last time a FFXIV thread had actual discussions about the game. Dawntrail's shit MSQ really accelerated the decline of quality already present in ShB.

>>714151392
You know shit's dire when not even fujos care about this little twinkus who was unabashedly curated for them.

But yeah, the release window they have for these patches is absolute insanity. Even if you wanna proclaim the game "isn't doing that badly", you must recognize at least that.

>>714155860

>>714156842
80% of the threads made typically do have tons of discussion about the game, especially compared to the "discussions" in shit like all the gacha threads. It's just all (rightfully) negative discussions and complaints.

>>714144514
All that and you can't prove him wrong.

The game is fucking irredeemable shit now.

The moment mods and modbeasts reared their ugly and SE did nothing this game was doomed. Even fucking Blizzard bans the fuck out of people for modding anything other ui shit. That's what you get for trusting the community of deeanged porn addict trannies to be normal and keep it on the down-low.

>>714146447

I'll forgive them for Dawntrail if they straight up retcon it. No making a new 90-100 and ignoring it, no adding a skip button, retconning it completely. The content can stay as a monument to their failure, but the story has to go. Completely. It never happened.

>>714161025
It's both.
It was later added to the store.
The screenshot was taken before that.

I have a question about modbeasts and mods, Why don't I see any other furries besides Hrothgars with different builds? It's strange that they haven't invaded the game yet

>>714160952
wasn't the whale a reward for the collectors edition of endwalker or am i confusing it with something else

>>714160442
I remember back in BFA I think it was they did a massive modder banwave and the backlash was enough for them to revert all those bans.
Also, tMorph/iMorph was a thing still during Classic, I remember people streaming themselves riding Spectral Tigers and morphing r14 and naxx gear before it was available.

>>714143995 (OP)
Shadowbringers was not a good expansion contrary to what people insist. Hopefully one day you will realize that and stop complaining about a tranny voice actor. Instead consider criticizing the atrocious encounter design, the horrible job ability and job design in general, the offensive quest based progression system, how weak overworld enemies are, mounts being entirely free, how trivializing flying is, the disgusting vertical gear progression and how every single reward is cosmetic.
I still can’t believe all jobs lost a shitton of abilities and are not even a third as complex as they used to be and people are okay with that.

It's not too bad, some of the movement has tight timing so it'll depend on what types of content you've done so far, if you've done some of the recent final savage floors on patch, the final trios feel somewhat similar in the sense that every player gets a thing and you have to know your movement pattern for each different thing you can get.
If you're not against simulators, you can sim every mechanic and reach the final phase very well-prepared. DPS checks are not an issue unless you have to chain ress people in the final phase, and if you PF, unlike savage prog you'll probably get people with 100+ kills joining your PF when you're about to clear so you'll have very reliable teammates.

What the FUCK should I be spending my wolf marks on?

Ideally you'd do it with 8 people, but if that's not an option you can just turn invincibility on and "pretend" you're doing each of the combinations you can get. It won't resolve the mechanic quite right but the idea is to learn the movement, together with visual aid from a guide. If you're EU, the LPDU visual guide for UWU is really well made.
And don't get discouraged, early prog is by far the worst part, you'll get all the people that are just trying out ultimate for the first time after unsyncing kefka, wait times in pf will be long since not that many people want to start from scratch, but as you progress and especially when you're nearing a clear, all the ultimate enjoyers will be happy to hop into your pf to help you get the clear, the final push is the easiest part.

i made tons of gil each patch from crafting within the first hours of a patch dropping but now that modding and botting have become mainstream the profit plummets past the first hour of the patch, now i have no more reason to keep playing this shit game infested with cheaters

>>714163495
Alright thank you for giving me this info anon I'll practice a lot

>>714162412
They probably meant "buoyant" and were just too dumb or baiting to spell it right. Either way it sounds like some half-baked attempt at a trans allegory or metaphor, but it's written so poorly it just reads like nonsense. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's some crusty writer trying to be "deep" by saying the boy isn't "floating" in society or expectations or whatever. Still garbage either way.

What else can they do, however? Pay a Chinese studio to remake the not just the mobile version but the full game in UE5? Actually they're probably already doing it.

I couldn't imagine playing a gear treadmill MMO that makes all my progress worthless each xpac.

i can't imagine playing a game that tells me to beat up the bigot

How do I know you've never played FFXIV?

>>714164147
Nigga really just said this while posting the OG raped pozzload

Imagine playing a MMORPG in 2025

The cool thing is that it actually pulls "results found" from the archive and it updates automatically. All he has to do is add image hashes, so it's really well done.
I was thinking about doing something similar, but I didn't know Google Docs could do that kinda stuff.

>ffxiv
>gear treadmill
lol lmao you legitimately just need crafted set and you’re set for months so only three crafted sets per expansion

>>714164310
apparently, people still do play those

>>714164147
The original was better

>>714164147
GW2 is just as fucked. Because there's horizontal progression guess what they have to fill up your bags with shit and give you a bunch side systems to manage and oh would you look at that you only have 3 bag slots or whatever the fuck but what's this you can pay for more inventory space wow how convenient.

>>714144365
I got you.

>>714151513
If only that were true. But nah, he actually manually posts. You can tell because he'll stop randomly when someone posts something that gets under his skin and he spends like 10-20 minutes arguing with them and the folderdumping stops.

>>714144514
This is crazy. Thanks for linking this again!

>instead of dumping his "i love sena" folder the schizo just spends the entire day replying at the google doc link

>>714165650
no don't you see it means THEY'RE the ones spamming and samefagging

>>714163337
300k on a good day per maxed house when you can just pay a bug ten bucks for cap is not worth it dude let that shit burn. I know they're only littered with bookshelves and seasonals too.

>>714144514
It's hard to say for sure, but thank you for this, seriously. Where would I be without the doccy? It's truly funny.

xiv's housing system is rancid dogshit left out in a hot summer day but pozzard will fuck it up just like they've been fucking everything up for the last few years (decades depending on who you ask)
reminder: the people working at blizzard think the apex of creativity is "water you can walk on"

>>714165650
i don't get it
why are they doing it?

>>714165650

>yes we should just erase 90% of the PC playerbase (who spend all day gooning and cooming) because some community driven event we have 0 stakes in and garners a pathetically low amount of viewership needs legitimisation
You're more out of touch than SE themselves.

>>714167153
who are you quoting

>>714148532
>xiv is dying
was there a recent census done? i saw some comment a few months ago that it was sub 1 million active players now.

Folder dumpy meltie

anons trying (and failing) to play pretend sex, shouting "mental illness!" from the top of their high horse, will never cease to be funny

>>714163836
Lol it's so funny sitting at nodes and watching the same characters autopath perfectly to it every time for literal days on end
Or sitting at the aetheryte closest to it, watching the timer for nodes and watching the same handful of characters all teleport to it, mount up and fly off in perfect formation in unision the instant it comes up
I have reported so many of these obvious blatant bots multiple times and not a single one has been dealt with

>>714148532
lmao you are delusional. XIV is the only game keeping that dogshit company afloat and the only reason their flop after flop has any budget at all, there is no way they're going to kill the golden goose
