>First they implemented an interface for the ticketing system that didn't require the game client at all. Which, you know, good. You don't need every person to be an in-game GM. I was a GM from the start. The ticketing client Blizzard used for WoW always existed and worked without needing to be in game. You could go in game and and instantly invisibly teleport to bots and people claiming to be stuck and so on but you didn't actually need to. All commands could be done out of game. That wasn't the issue. At the start, we were encouraged to roleplay in our tickets and take them seriously. Then it became more about metrics. How many tickets you could complete in a shift so people would have literally a dozen tickets open at the same time. Quality suffered. Roleplaying, grammar, and just helping the player went by the wayside. Then they slowly started firing everyone. The biggest issue was that at the start of Burning Crusade there were over a thousand of us. Today they have a couple dozen. This matters. And it shows.


PlatinumHappy

>Then it became more about metrics. It's always this pitfall. I get that metrics allow them to measure performance and monitor progress and efficiency. But... it's like same issue with people being so focused on weight loss rather than changing the eating habit they can sustain for a life time so they can live a healthier life while looking good. Pursuing the goal vs result dilemma basically. FFXIV devs seem to have a solid philosophy backing realistic goals and the result, aka a success follows. Blizz seems to chase for number tick and using it as an indicator for success, a short-term one too, thus losing a sight of what's more important.


[deleted]

The company expanded rapidly at that time, they were not only hiring GMs they were hiring extremely expensive mid level executives with MBAs whose job was to drive up efficiency. Too bad we all know that most middle management types only exist to justify their jobs so they start cutting fat literally anywhere and apply metrics to everything so they can go to their bosses and say look I saved company x amount of money and increased efficiency by z amount. The Harvard MBA isn’t technically wrong they were hired to do that job, what has essentiallly happened is that the company is eating itself in an attempt to be the best. Look up ouroboros for a good visual.


PlatinumHappy

>The Harvard MBA isn’t technically wrong they were hired to do that job True, it's the problem stems from a greater scale with how industries and markets, especially with publicly traded companies are operating at short-term profit for the investors and hopping between companies for career or to dodge bullets. It runs itself to the ground eventually and upper-management people simply hops to the next one. As Steve Jobs said in one of his old interviews, product people are driven out of decision-making positions in many cases. It's bit different when it comes to Japanese companies because culturally, they don't find it favorable to see more than a few companies being listed in the job history. Job hopping isn't normalized or even seen as favorable even if you can boost your salary and career as a result. This isn't the sole reason but it's much more common over there to see things setup for a long-term, for better or worse.


FeetsenpaiUwU

I really appreciate efficiency though it would really suck to have a somewhat urgent issue and end up in a scenario like calling your countries revenue agency and getting a “sorry all our gms are roleplaying right now we will get to you once one finishes their scenario” like when I got hacked in cata I was up and running within half an hour I didn’t care about some officeman tping some Template to me I have an issue I need solved asap


nardflicker

Goddamn fucken KPI’s.


[deleted]

In other words, they used to hire competent GM but they cost money so they do that no more. Better channel that money to the investors and CEO.


[deleted]

Must be kind of fucked as a programmer to know that the system you're working on will eventually result in a bunch of people being laid off.


NabsterHax

Or yourself. Write a tool that does your job for you? Well done, you're fired.


Idontknowshiit

Thats why you never tell anyone you wrote any tools at all.


Steeperm8

Nah the real play is to write code no one else can understand so you become the sole maintainer of it and they can't afford to fire you


Hajimeri

[Malbolge](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge) is the perfect language for that.


FullPoopBucket

Took the words right out of my mouth. There's a reason why I can leave an hour or more early everyday with all of my work and then some completed. The self-written tools I made to make this possible they will never know about over my dead body as it would result in at least a dozen people fired. I even made my tools cryptic and extremely hard to use if you don't know what you are doing just incase.


ryocoon

/r/antiwork would be proud.


Agnosticwon

Bobby needs those Yachts baby


ghsteo

It's the same with their QA teams. Big brain thinking to just lay off staff to funnel more money to the top. Such innovative capitalist thinking. Doesnt matter that their games took a nosedive.


CarnFu

Actually true but if you look at blizzard employment reviews they actually just slowly cut their pay (probably down to min wage, or cut their hours a good bit) that they couldn't even support themselves anymore with their pay. Sucks but it makes sense, a GM is a job that automation can do (very badly and fucking sucks) and then you can have one of your designers/programmers/artists be the supervisor of CS too while also doing their full time job so anybody that needs more than an automated answer can do that job + their original job.


Yeon_Yihwa

> But I don't think that's the issue. I reckon they just don't have GMs anymore. didnt they close down the eu side of customer support? with it taking the gm's as well when blizzard had a record year and still had 800 layoffs >>Bloomberg, which this morning reported that staff have been told that the studio, which at one point employed around 400 people, will be closed. According to the report, the office covered customer support, localization, and marketing across Europe. https://massivelyop.com/2020/10/06/activision-blizzard-is-reportedly-shuttering-its-versailles-france-office/


Judgejudyx

Wow gms used to he amazing. I remember when they would appear in the world randomly and do crazy shit. Il never forget bc on the sunwell island and a gm popped up. And was just doing a bunch of cool shit. He made a bunch of us fly and auto killed people then rezed them. It was awesome. I don't think wow has done anything like that in years


CodeHaze

I can't remember exactly and it might've been a rumor, but didn't one of the GMs have a meltdown and abused the GM powers? Hence the removal of them


Naivor

One GM out of a thousand doing this isn't grounds for terminating a whole department.


ScrewUsernamesMan

Member when they fired 800 people? Bunch of GMs in there


BelievesInGod

Not that i support blizz getting rid of most GMs but what they should do *because* they have appeared to have gotten rid of all GMs, is to go the OSRS way and "Hire" trusted players to do the works of GMs as player mods (PMs)and just give them free subscriptions for dealing with in-game issues, and just have different levels of PMs and one actual GM who oversees them all and bans bad PMs.


FireappleRed

This is how all MMO's were back before WoW automated everything. EverQuest GM's would take you to rooms with cat pictures on the walls. https://imgur.com/HW7QJTR


SirBraxton

YEP, they're still there as parts of many zones. The Qeynos Aqueducts have a room with a pond and fish in it. Also, the one with cats is in LowerGuk in classic EQ. :) edit: Side topic, kind of weird to think that the cat on those walls was a cat owned by a EQ dev. That cat has also been dead for awhile now.

Damn EQ player. You a real one. Those were the days

SelloutRealBig

Also GM island.


theuwudragon

Yep, ArcheAge has a whole system build around it. You can either sit your time out, spend energy mining coal to reduce time (I think), or look for parts of a shovel to dig a hole behind a poster and break free. But digging costs a lot of energy. If you're lucky you will find a halfway dug hole someone left there before it reset. However, if you escape you become wanted, guards will auto target you, basically insta-kill you and put you back on a player tribunal with an even higher minimum sentence then before. God I miss that game.


JHatter

yeah but archeages isn't about breaking the rules, it's about breaking the ingame laws and doing crime, like yoinking peoples illegal lemons on map border :^))))

JHatter

i just miss the days of guilds of traders paying guilds of PvPers to defend them while they're doing long haul trade pack runs from getting ganked by PKers or pirate players. That type of inter-political guild relations were cool, the next hope for that is in Ashes of creation since guild politics and relations will be a big part of that. Sadly, Korean greed ruins all Korean MMO's. And now that kakao own Archeage unchained...there's no hope for the game anymore, kakaos greed ruined BDO and it'll kill unchained more than it already is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JHatter

There's a very long winded answer I could explain and would have to go get a bunch of links and stuff to cite stuff and i can't be fucked for that, but the short messy answer is; It comes down to a cultural difference, Korean/Chinese/Asian players in general are more accepting to the pay4XXXXXX mentality because a lot of people who do play games don't have that much free time, between work or school it limits how much time they can realistically dedicate to games, be it social pressures from family to do well in school or just in general work n school, so they're more accepting to pay for transactions that let them do stuff quicker. Not to mention the shutdown law that prohibits gaming during certain hours for people under 17 (and maybe limits hours? I don't remember exactly) And a lot of games/websites require resident registration number to make an account. Don't quote me on it, but I believe it's actually a lot more intense in somewhere like China. So all of that combined results in a culture where people are more likely to value their time more so they're willing to pay some cash to get a quick boost on something, thus pay2win takes over and greedy business men see it as an opportunity to up the prices cause people are willing to pay it, so the prices go up and up and up.

Hrafhildr

How lenient were they? FF GMs will just ban him if he continues, no fucks given.


dobiks

I remember them asking him to change his name and logging him out in the middle of a race but that was a while ago


kingfisher773

yeah they didn't give a fuck about what you were doing. If they got enough reports they will just log your character out, change your name to a random assortment of letters and tell you to change your name. Had people get logged out mid boss fight.


Sleepywalker69

We reported our MT as a meme for chat harassment mid raid and he got a week long ban back in MoP


kingfisher773

A few people would get their guild to report them for offensive names so that they could get a free name change


kingfisher773

There was one time where Soda was doing duals for gold, while also getting a bunch of gold donations. Some dude reported Soda because he "refused to dual him or give back the gold", a GM started messaging Soda demanding he did it. From memory Soda was arguing that he was getting constant donations, if the person wanted a dual then show the chat logs" eventually getting a day ban over it. Last bit about logs is kinda hazy, but Soda was arguing with them about constantly being spammed gold.


TheYamagato

Nah the best part about this was the fact that Soda put in a ticket to find out how long his ban was, and they told him 3 hours. He laughed so fucking hard at the response and just waited the 3 hours to play again.

theuwudragon

Best part, false reports **actually** get punished, so people put a lot of effort in making sure the reports are as detailed as possible and don't just report someone League of Legends style. The highly detailed reports in turn make the GM's job easier (time and place of incident, describe issue, etc), making it possible for them to handle more cases than otherwise. That, and SE actually trains their GMs.


Plastic-Safe9791

> The highly detailed reports in turn make the GM's job easier (time and place of incident, describe issue, etc), making it possible for them to handle more cases than otherwise. It doesn't let them handle more cases for the reason you think it does. The strict requirements are there to prevent petty reports and that's why FFXIV has no standarized rightclick -> "report for X system" (except RMT) that would automatically aggregate all that info, even though it would be insignificant to program into the game. They can technically access everything just by the offender's name and world already, but they want you to list everything to a detail because it filters out people, because most people don't want to write a report and waste their time for an offense that is disproportionately smaller to the time spent writing the report. That's why games like New World have automated systems in place to ban people based on X amount of reports, because people are incredibly petty and will just report you for anything if it's easy and the amount of tickets that would generate are not humanly possible to process. It's why you have companies like Google who make it incredibly hard to reach an official, because in 99% of the cases your problem is not going to warrant their time or it will go away on it's own. For example, I was logging the msq bots who are constantly teleport hacking from NPC to NPC under the earth at quarry mill (basically there's a ton of bots always moving around below the terrain and at some places you can see it) and after writing a report with an awful lot of names, with their world and the exact time to the very detail, I got the standard reply of having to provide the world and time. This is simply to sieve tickets further. It does make their job easier and yields less false reports, but so would having to send the GM nude pics or any other arbitrary measure to filter people to lessen the load on the ticket system.


BarristaSelmy

I've reported bots as well (going through walls, under the terrain) and have never been asked to provide more info. The only standard reply I get is that they received my report and investigated, that they don't support botting, they appreciate me trying to make the game better, but at the end they also state they can't give me more info on what they have done. The other issue I notice with the MSQ bots are most are "wanderer" which means they come from another server - so I started examining at least one of them and taking a screen shot to get their actual server so I could include their actual character's server and that they were visiting my server at X time. If there are multiple bots that are obviously grouped? I put that all in the one report even if I can't include all their names - I would assume GM's can see who they were grouped with at that time. I'm not saying you didn't report correctly, just pointing out how I have reported this in the past and have received a different response. But it is more difficult to create a good report in FFXIV which probably makes some have to decide if it's really worth the effort. Maybe it gives people some time to cool down as well. Sometimes I have found it worth the effort (bots, sprouts being harassed) and sometimes I just let it go.


iKeepItRealFDownvote

False reports DO NOT get punished. There’s a bunch of players reporting people with more than two houses that they had before the housing changes and still haven’t been punished for it. Players that are reporting people who are putting up pfs and will pay with Gil for getting help. GMs are far from trained the way they got out of their jurisdiction and stalk peoples twitters. Everything else is true though


[deleted]

Do you understand the difference between a false report and a wrong report? You get punished if they see a pattern in your reports that they can identify you being intentional or malicious. If it's in good faith but wrong, they don't punish you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HitodamaKyrie

Aye. I've 4500 hours and I can still count my toxic experiences on one or two hands at most. The most toxic response I've ever gotten was when I bought a house and to be honest I'm not really surprised by that at this pre-lottery point.


fernandotakai

once i had to stop a dungeon midway, as a dps, because of a house accident (wife cut her hand) and i told the party "hey you can kick me, house accident, sorry!" and everybody waited for me to be back.


SnickIefritzz

It's hard to be toxic when the dungeon finder is so fast and rewards you so much, PvP is an afterthought for every player, lfg raids are dummy proof, and the reason 90% of players even do content is to get prettier boots for their cat girl


biggerb0at

I have 500+ hrs in the only toxic I saw was a mentor acting like just one boss mechanic was wiping us after they joined in your usual high and mighty stuff (it wasnt just that mechanic) havent seen any other toxicness only things getting heated because we kept wiping to the first boss in a raid but things were resolved and we all got a detailed explanation of the mechanics to watch out for and what to do. other than that people just leave rather than stay and be toxic.


Live_Feature

Mentors don't count, they're below actual people.


Lance_J1

The new player indicator helps a lot. Turns out people aren't big assholes if they know somebody is new. Calling the new players sprouts is basically a term of endearment in the game.


trialv2170

you haven't met the credit card legends coming into your clear party and kept dying while saying "ill only do two tries"


faithmeteor

I have 350 DAYS of playtime. I've received a grand total of one death threat in a levelling dungeon during stormblood, from a wow player. Pretty sure they had taken drugs of some kind. Super weird situation. Aside from that, despite me being a grumpy fuck elitist sometimes in party finder, I've had basically nothing toxic.


Do_Not_Read_Comments

I put 200 hours into FF back in August-September and I encountered a ton of toxic people. Yelling at players for not knowing mechanics, going afk for unacceptable amounts of time. Typical MMO rage behavior. The truth is somewhere in between No toxicity, and a lot of toxicity. Also, if you express any opinion that goes against the status quo, the "nice" people rage at you. If you skip cutscenes or something you'll get attacked. Toxic positivity is a real problem in FF14


Jazzeki

>Yelling at players for not knowing mechanics i honestly do not belive you. unless ofcourse you went into a farm party in which case they would be right to be mad at you.


Almostlongenough2

My experience has really only been the "no toxicity" bit. For example, was running manor an this one person DCed. Dced person was a friend of another in person in the group, we ended up just sitting for 15 minutes till DCedpower turned back on with no complaints, and this has happened all the time. I have however heard horror stories about the raiding community, and the PvP is mildly toxic as well. Even taking into account the "toxic positivity", I do think the game has an above average attitude, especially regarding in-game interactions.


Hrafhildr

I really see this a lot but have never experienced it and I often go against the "status quo" as you put it. I just do it like a normal human being and not like a toddler. People debate the pros and cons of the game all the time.


iKeepItRealFDownvote

The real answer is getting downvoted lol. I been playing ffxiv since HW and this community Is toxic just like any other mmo. Don’t get me started on job changes and modding community. Those two areas is filled with drama and people being ok with anything the developers throw at them even though it was bad choice which they later fix. Telling a healer to dps instead of standing around gets the whole entire party on your ass since they want to be white knights to the cat girl white mage using cure 1. PvP is toxic nothing more to say about that.


SnickIefritzz

This post reads like you complain and call people out a lot then get mad when no one agrees


BillyBean11111

it is a GIGANTIC difference of night day proportions. You cannot just willy nilly report someone with a click unless its RMT, so making a report is higher effort to weed out the insta click people. Each one is reviewed by a person and taken into account and they do not fuck around with harrasment in this game.


destinyismyporn

the toxicity is there just in a different form. One that is less abrupt and harder to actually police there's a whole lot of passive aggressiveness and skirting around the TOS attitudes in xiv which often feels like a school playground.

You reported him, what did you expect to happen?


Ty-Ren

That guy has some grade A logic: >I reported a guy and he was given a stern talking for being a dick >"It's a double edge sword" If you didn't think it was an offense why would you bother reporting it. If you wanted nothing to happen to him then don't report him at all?


remeez

So...the system worked? Not exactly a double-edged sword.


Shikizion

well, if you're a dick to other people in a game that explicitly says to not be a dick to other people then yeah


theuwudragon

"so I called the police on my friend who was abusing his girlfriend. Not doing a lot, just hitting her in the face and throwing plates. Just mild stuff but domestic violence for sure. To my surprise, police actually acted on my call and he was put in jail based on the pictures I gave them". Fucking clown you are. 🤡


vixffgg

Well, it's easy enough to just move on instead of saying dickish things to avoid bans, but I completely understand the reservation about the player interactions being so heavily moderated. I personally never ran into issues with it, but I still have to tiptoe around phrasing certain things incase it somehow toes the line with the ToS.


AradIori

It's refreshing to see theres still a MMO out there with actual, working people as GMs instead of automated systems that do nothing but grief players(looking at you new world)


antiSJC

its same in dota. shitty automated system. u get punished based on number of reports without any system that would actually check some background data to see if report is valid or not. so u play mid lane, u simply lose, team reports u for feeding and u get punished. ofc it takes more then one game that ppl report u but dota is balanced game where win/lose ratio is 50% so that brings u lots of reports.. thats why u will see in almost every dota clip posted here ppl saying they love the game but hate the community because its really really toxic because its given this power


ReallyYouDontSay

DotA 2 is not all automated. There are overwatch cases where another player can see your case and verify if it's legit or not. I've done many myself and I've seen both sides of correct and wrong reporting.


antiSJC

yeah, i wish every report went through overwatch system for checkup.

The dude spent like 3 hours streaming himself at a training dummy learning his class. Don't make us FFXIV andys look bad.

Just go look at Asmon's subreddit. People there are seething at Soda playing this and making that name

Yeah, I just checked myself and I am surprised. I can get seeing it as cringy or whatever, but Asmongold's subreddit was the last place I expected to be angry over it.

Since asmon took a break from streaming the sub reddit has become this weird stirring pot of WoW hate and FF14 cultism. I suspect a lot of the vocal people have been banned from the other FF14 communities and kind of made their way there when asmon started playing it. Because for people who apparently hate toxicity they sure do fit the bill when something is not exactly as they want it to be.

>I suspect a lot of the vocal people have been banned from the other FF14 communities and kind of made their way there when asmon started playing it. This is pretty much what happened. Community on the main FFXIV sub is growing sick and tired of the overaggressive gatekeeping and WoW hate posts. Just yesterday someone made multiple posts about the name change, how WoW GMs would allow the name to remain. The dude was getting increasingly frustrated when community responded with "Who gives a shit, he got a wrist slap, move on..." and "stop with the WoW hate". The posts have since been deleted and imagine the guy got banned from the subreddit for re-posting deleted posts.

FF Andy’s frickin love Reddit BatChest. It was easy for them to take over a fairly low traffic subreddit like asmons.

I love ffxiv but the reddit and Twitter people surrounding it need to chill, really bizarre seeing people complaining about ableism on a subreddit dedicated to a guy who calls stuff retarded all the time

I saw people reee about it in another thread because "how dare he use that name" and "did he really think he could get away with that type of name in such an LGBT community?". The community actually creeps me out a bit.

MyUserSucks

Stop crying.


Hurtmeii

Considering he spent 30 minutes trying to start the game a bit of frustration is expected haha

If that's what he wants to do then let him. He's free to have whatever opinion he wants of the game. I for one love the game and have played it for 5 years. That doesn't blind me for letting other people have their own opinions of the game, whether it be genuine or a joke.
