Cancelling your subscription sends a message, while continuing to fork over cash and complain on some internet forum yields little beneficial results.(08-28-2015, 01:44 AM)Edda Wrote: If you don't, maybe you should actually stop playing, and not just because you disagree with content gating. Despite the amount of feedback the devs take into consideration from the community, ultimately FFXIV is a game made by and for Square Enix. The best way to let them know you are displeased with their decisions is to let them know on the forums and cancel your subscription. I see no merit in continuing to pay for a game you are so utterly unhappy with.Not the point on that - people were saying it was better to have a common ground of understanding. I pushed it to the point of ridiculousness.
If I didn't enjoy the game I'd have unsubbed a while ago and never looked back. I didn't like the gating but now that it's out I see they've actually made efforts to work with it enough that it mitigates a good portion of the problems I mentioned.
Like, if they decided to gate 4.0 with 3.x MSQ completion I'd have far less problems with it than I had with 3.0 being gated with 2.55 completion because we have precedence on how they'd handle it.
What I dislike is this argument that if you're not playing the game a certain way you should unsub and leave or just not get the game.
