How do you know they'll listen? Because all of us at the RPC at the time threw our weight into that.
I have evidence they won't, you have no evidence they will.
You under-estimate the ability of angry consumers to demand and receive the changes they request. SE's opinions towards RP have become more reception, as demonstrated by the RP tag.
It's this alone that makes gamers into the entitled, pretentious pricks that they are today---to the point that a lot of them have become insufferable. Well, maybe not a lot, but the vocal majority certainly are.
Companies don't owe people anything unless they thoroughly screw something up. And even to that note, when a majority of consumers demand something you are likely to see it. RPers in XIV are not the majority. I'd argue they're hardly even a fraction.
Requesting for developers to implement changes that will improve the game for a substantial amount of users doesn't make someone a "entitled, pretentious prick."Â Asking for a RP server -- which will take almost no resources -- isn't unreasonable.
RPers are not the majority. But we are a substantial number of players, and it is reasonable for RPers to desire an official, designated server, as shown by the number of MMORPGS that support such a thing.
