SEGA already reacted again? Geez.

If only they put this much effort into sharing their games.

Square had the same stance for ACT in FF14. Thing is, they didn't hunt it down with nearly this much zeal. If you got in trouble for it, it's ONLY because you told them you used it, OR used it to grief other players by calling them out on a chat channel while bringing up your use of ACT AND the player would have to report you. Other than that, they didn't care enough to use detection tools to stop it.

Thing is, square was at least aware much of their endgame used dps checks to some degree (like Odin). Apparently, their devs are working on their own native to the game.

PSO2 =/= FF14 though. There are more obvious reasons SEGA is going to these lengths. Biggest one is likely they don't want to risk more witchunting within the community for no reason.

This is true...
...and the funny thing is that as a healer in FF XIV when a RAID goes wrong and the very first thing that happens is that people blame the healer since so few tanks in the game exist that no one will ever hold a tank accountable for not taking right... so a lot of healers actually capped classes and saw the kind of damage potential and used ACT to actually make sure that DPS and TANK players actually were pulling in their weight..

It became catastrophic in the top FCs that originally used ACT because of the DPS-CHECKS that existed in raids.

I want there to be some passionate video game players to sit down and create a group with other passionate video game players and just spam the entire internet with concerns and disgusts with the shit that developers keep pulling.

Like I tried to say before (clumsily), Sega is more concerned that you can see the DPS of others rather than that you can see your own. Sega seems to have a very strict anti-shaming, anti-bullying stance, to the point that you can't even see the HP total of other people in your party.

Well... at least they managed to get one thing right.

Looks at untradable Dark Falz costumes.

Every game dev the past decade has this stance..

It's horse shit and I'm honestly sick of it. If people aren't shown they suck, they'll continue to suck forever. Why wouldn't you want other people to get better?

Casuals greatly exceed optimizers in numbers. So, money.
