A message from your Producer, Akihiko Matsui
Asura.Bluespoons said: » Make Matsya suck just a tiny bit less. Saving up 142 bait and getting 5 fish from it is really a bit too horrid, imo. Yeah I like having a goal again but ffs it seems like I could make another relic in the time it'd take to fish a reasonable amount of Matsya >< If there was going to be an adjustment made, then it should have been made right after it was implemented and not when everyone and their mules just suddenly wanted it.

If anyone would like to read my proposals, I have wrote a good amount on page 20 :)
Below is a basic list of what I put forward: 1) Saving Space 2) Auction House abuse 3) Magian Weapons with the same name 4) Macro system 5) Enmity 6) Job tutorials 7) Merit Weapon Skills 8) Upgrading old gear 9) Rehaul of Obsolete gear 10) PVP 11) More power to Alliance and LS Leaders 12) Linkshell merging Please Like if you like the ideas, cheers! :) People need some kind of qualifying status before they're able to push ideas though... seriously, I'd backhand most people for the suggestions they're making.

Would be nice to have SE and the producer have an understanding of the myriad of things that need adjustment and addressing, and put it into a poll rather than this "like my post" popularity contest here.
Though with how clueless SE has been all these years, I'm putting this one under wishful thinking. Cerberus.Tikal said: » People need some kind of qualifying status before they're able to push ideas though... seriously, I'd backhand most people for the suggestions they're making. People are very different. While some person think an idea is absolute excellence, another person will think it is ridiculous. SE will obviously look at the more reoccurring ideas and see if they can be implemented, while they dismiss ideas that don't make sense or are not popular. Everyone should be allowed to have their say, as they also pay the monthly subscription for this game. One man's trash is another man's treasure, etc. etc., doesn't equalize the fact that many of the suggestions people attempt to spear-head are ill-thought out, poorly considered, don't work in the current/past system, or are totally ridiculous in design, not considering the frame-work they exist in. For every idea of this sort that is taken into consideration, a well-thought out idea is glazed over.

For every idea of this sort that is taken into consideration, a well-thought out idea is glazed over. I think your looking at this in such a negative light. At least SE asked us what we wanted this time, in the past they never really cared what we had to say, but over the last couple of years they have reached out to us. Some people may not have the same intricate understanding of how the game works behind the scenes compared to others. Some players are more casual and are simply not aware that their idea is poorly thought out or ridiculous. I am sure that SE takes note of all the good ideas, and will discuss them. Also the post made was more about the producer getting a feel for what the game is currently like, more then what is actually wrong with the game. It would be like any manager who comes into a new job, they will want to see what people like or dislike, so they can get a feel for the work that needs to be done. These suggestions made, I am sure, will not be the last ever time they can be put forward to SE.
[+]
My original point stands. There should be a filter, because with SE's responses in the past few months, it's obvious that they can't do it themselves, when they respond to the most asinine ideas.
I don't think it's a negative light.
People need to be contributing actual solid ideas, not something that they just thought of 3 seconds ago. What may take you 5 minutes to write out, it takes a community rep much longer to translate. If there are 30 ideas an hour, important ideas that would actually help the game might get overlooked. This goes for both players and the community reps. They even said that they are going to consider the posts rated up the most. This tells me that the producer wants 10-20 ideas from each region for him to go over and bring to the development team meeting. This also means that the ideas brought up right after the post was released are the only ones going to be considered. You may think posting random pointless ideas doesn't hurt anyone, but I believe it hurts everyone. Clutter is a horrible thing to sort through when the game needs some solid improvements right now.
[+]
SE are just trying to please as many of the players as possible. How could you even work a filter on this kind of stuff? Would it be fair if that filter stopped certain players ideas from getting through? What if that idea was absolutely amazing but the filter stopped it?
Stopping any kind of feedback is counter productive, if it means we get the odd asinine idea, then it really does not bother me, the game is that old now, do people really care that much if they brought out one or two silly ideas? I could understand if SE decided to turn everyone into a bunny rabbit, why people would be annoyed about that, but something like changing collison between PCs, or anything else that I have seen, it won't make me lose any sleep if they are implemented.
[+]
I can totally see that point Kalilla, but if SE really want feedback, would it really take them that long to sort through those pages and note down the good ones? Are they really that strapped for time, that someone can't properly sit down and note all the good ideas after reading all the posts?
I am sure SE is aware that the most likes will be in the first posts, I am sure they are not silly when it comes to knowing how forums work.

Point and case. Collision removal is probably the best thing they've come up with in quite awhile. It's actually a boon to the game's UI. And it's not an "odd" asinine idea, it's tons and tons of them. I can't even stomach the OF it's so bad.
Filter = i.e. community reps. I mean was this a response to some of my ideas? Because I thought my ideas were pretty solid, and I didn't just think of them in seconds, I had full on reasons why they should be implemented, and what the side effects could be.
I run a facebook page, and the amount of illogical posts I read through on a daily basis is excessive, that's just how people are. When you open up a post like that, you will find good and bad ideas, how could you tell an excellent idea if they are all excellent ideas? You need good with the bad, that is how you distinguish between the two and find the really good ideas. Cerberus.Kylos said: » I mean was this a response to some of my ideas? I was honestly surprised to see so many likes on my post about lowering bullet prices. I hope they do something about it, i.e. I hope the JPs post about it.
I just posted my message up on the se forum about tokens i hope a lot of people like my post and i hope it helps to get this done users want the right to buy with crysta i know it.

I asked them to stop making ultra-pseudo-hard content for alliances and focus on 6-man play when designing difficult content. More practical for the playerbase and hopefully gets us away from at least Perfect Defense spam. I don't know that Embrava will ever go away.
Odin.Eikechi said: » Hell, do the same for BLU spells while we're at it.

Fenrir.Nightfyre said: » The only job I'm remotely worried about overpowering in that situation is MNK H2H already has enough special rules, if it turned out to be overpowered, then the code already branches - just don't boost it as much. 1h jobs do need fixed in a big way, though. Caitsith.Heimdall said: » So basically what I'm getting from this is he is asking people to help him figure out all the screw ups that need to be fixed that the other guy had added to the game over the past 2 years. Some I can think of to add would be faster voidwatch stone recharge. Better drop rates on gear and upgrade items from voidwatch and ability to put gear you already have into a treasure pool for others to lot on. Allow skill ups in campaign where skill level caps are based on the zone and add auto RR to it and besiege.Campaign warps to strong holds and warp for besiege when the mobs are advancing with better notification system. Also ability to increase moghouse size, not storage but the actual moghouse itself.Make it like a moblin maze map and the room upgrade peices rewards form moblin maze and balista. Re work some older synergy recipes that are near impossible without script programs. Revitalize moblin maze , balista and brenner adding a rewards to ballista( I miss the roaming full scale Balista groups that use happen years ago they led to many epic large scale matches). Also a easy to get piece of gear that raises the wearers enemity cap above others in the party so they can actually tank and hold hate. Improved fishing skill up rates. After 3 pages on this forum i wanted to kill myself, I wouldnt dare to go read all the crap there. What game are you guys playing? I like the fishing skill up idea but pvp campaign mmm come on. I do VW all the time and still at 540 stones how are you out? And if you are do something else or buy dust theres nothing to "Fix" here.

I am sure SE is aware that the most likes will be in the first posts, I am sure they are not silly when it comes to knowing how forums work. I definitely agree with this. It's extremely admirable that Matsui is asking us common folk for ideas that we have. I really can't stand stupid people or stupid ideas but I guess everyone having a say in things is fair enough - they can easily filter out the stupid ideas to get to the good ones. I'm sure they have payed employees that sift through this kinda stuff for them. Also, something to keep in mind is that even though he says they'll consider the ideas with the most Likes it doesn't mean those are going to be the only ideas that they take from this. At the end of the day, it's Matsui's decision as to what is going into the game and he might get a random vision of a good idea from a post with no Likes at all. Or in typical SE fashion, take something ridiculous and waste a whole update on it. Either way, it's a step in the right direction. Matsui is already awesome in my book! We should make a post on the OF to get Kalilla hired by SE as head of the community team

Bismarck.Kelhor said: » Quiznor said: » We should make a post on the OF to get Kalilla hired by SE as head of the community team What? No! We like Kalilla, why would you suggest such a horrible fate? Because she already does better job at it than they do.

An interesting, more unique request was the one, very simple and short post, about how he should join a random server, play a lv99 and experience the game for himself. The interesting thing about it is the relatively high amount of likes it got. Will certainly be interesting to keep in mind.
Fenrir.Nightfyre said: » I've only glanced at a few posts in this thread, none at all on the OF, but you're criticizing two of the best I've seen thus far. At the very least we need to move beyond content that demands use of PD/Embrava and I'd really like to see 1hand jobs put closer to the same playing field as 2handers on high-level content. Times have changed, the circumstances that necessitated boosting 2handers are long gone. The point I was trying to make about how I feel that is silly, is the reason they did it in the first place. The whole "you would generate more force if you swung an object with both hands" train of thought. I guess that means nothing to anybody. /shrug. Carry on then mates. Maybe they will change it back. Who knows? I just found that silly due to the above. Personally I would like to see the entry lvl for abyssea increased,and old party areas put back into use, tired of what used to be a live world turned abyssea, where most zones are dead compared to what they once were. As stands the level sync function isnt as much used and exp increase is not as much worth it since everyone is book burning. Don't mind keeping the books around as it would give a 2nd option VS 6 man partys, but point is would be nice to see FFXI be the lively world it once was instead of book burn to 30 and burn in abyssea to 99 and stay there for most of what you need. (Also tired of seeing people at 99 with relic/empy with no idea how to play the job decently)
