  Imagine making a bad puzzle without proper guides, then when the players find a smart way to solve the puzzle you say &quot;no no you can&apos;t do it like that&quot;

  If people are unaware how the video even got leaked aka the Ultimate raid in FFXIV. It is because they had a 9th man member that was there to help them and plan mechanics as an observer. When they finished clearing they would him clear the fight. But what ended up happening after they cleared, they didn&apos;t even bother keeping their promise with the 9th man. So he ended up leaking the video. Pretty much they played themselves at that point.

  Absolute virtue is like a D&amp;D group finding a clever, unintended solution to a problem, then the dungeon master changing the rules on the fly to punish their ingenuity.

  A food delivery promo for an MMO, and during the game awards no less, is actually fucking genius. How could they fuck this up? This would have been a griefless, unproblematic slam dunk for both companies.

  honestly the pizza one upset me too. i don’t think people were upset about not getting the emote; i think they were upset about being tricked into using grubhub.

  I payed $25 for lukewarm burger king for that Pizza Emote and didn&apos;t even get it. My family relentlessly made fun of me.

  Some other issues with Absolute Virtue: Since he can use every class&apos;s 2 hour ability, he could use the White Mage&apos;s ability Benediction.......which fully heals him.<br><br>Another big problem was the video that Square Enix showed. Outside of some of the hints, it was VERY clear that the footage was spliced from multiple attempts, meaning that the reason they took so long to show that video is because they heavily struggled to kill Absolute Virtue themselves. It&apos;s also been rumored for a long time that they never beat him at all since the video kinda just cuts to him dying, which makes people believe they used admin commands to instantly kill it.

  For the Raubahn EX thing, later in the expansion Square Enix gave the player base a small wind-up version of Raubahn that would follow the player base around. This pet came with a little apology in it&apos;s description text. Specifically the text reads: <br><br>&quot;Ostensibly produced to commemorate Ala Mhigo&apos;s liberation, this avatar of the Flame General was originally meant to serve as an apology for the campaign&apos;s troubled start. To that end, it was said to have been programmed to beg forgiveness a dozen different ways.&quot;

  The Absolute Virtue nonsense was especially bad because it feels like it goes against the design of the game up to that point. &nbsp;One of FF11&apos;s best features is how varied some builds can be thanks to gear bonuses and sub job choices. &nbsp;Player experimentation ended up fostering up new playstyles for jobs (most prominent being the Ninja tank) and the devs seemed to catch wind of stuff like this and add gear or abilities to complement these new play styles.<br><br>Absolute Virtue was just like NO YOU HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY.

  One of my old bosses used to brag about being a part of the &quot;Final Fantasy 18 hour boss fight&quot; and how he got one of the best drops off of the boss.. And now I find out the fight he pretended to be in never even killed the fucking boss! I guess that&apos;s what I get for not looking into things.

  Every time the players figured out a cheese, but legal way to kill Absolute Virtue SE got pissed. Sometimes the players doing it legitimately were penalized for clearing it. Nobody knows why SE hated the fact that people could eventually defeat it, as its rewards were garbage and only the title was there for bragging rights.
