It would halt updates to the PC as they'd have to wait until the XBox updates were approved by Microsoft. By keeping them separate updates on the PC will continue as they have been.
Which has been bloody awesome. Might not be the development direction I'm hoping for all the time, but we definitely see development.
Sharing the world with XBox would delay that. A lot.

thats maybe was easier to be done with microsoft than sony but will see i suppose
Way to drop the ball Microsoft!
If it helps I believe DB said at one point that ideally he'd like us to play together with xbox peeps - but it seems it's not possible for technical or some other reason.
Up to you but at some point you might want to let it go really..
As far as I am aware, it is Microsoft who stop cross play. Seen other game devs make snide remarks when it is a game that could do it.

It is what it is. Trying to force/coerce/cajole/persuade Microsoft to do anything that it does not want to is, in all likelihood, a futile task.
It's pretty disappointing overall is what it is.

Agreed. However, railing at things that are extremely unlikely to be changed is often considered to be a waste of time and effort.
Seriously, the PC/Mac world and MS/SONY/console world cannot mix, especially in this game. Firstly, there are already mentioned technical reasons like patching and secondly, those two worlds are simply different. Different in player age, in-game language, playing habits etc.
You can see it in forums from other games. Even the single player games, like Skyrim. The peoples playing console Skyrim are totally different from peoples playing Skyrim on PC.
I wouldn't say railing, but hey, it brought about an interesting discussion more or less.
Yes, it is possible. But point is, that players playing Final Fantasy XIV (or better to say players playing Final Fantasy I - XIV) are different species from different dimension, regardless of used hardware. They are living example of post-human evolution
P.S. I hope that moderator will not take this as an insult. Actually, I like Final Fantasy players, because from my childhood I hoped that someday, I will meet the ETs.

There are all different styles. I could imaging a COH player going into another game and demanding to know why they can't kill everyone
Right, lets add some source martial on the current info;
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/...-e3-xbox-exclusives-and-qa-with-david-braben/
Some highlights from the article;
Of course, more to the overall thread topic;
And regarding how to play the game;
To highlight something from that above quote;
“You should do what makes you excited. I don’t want there to be a ‘right’ way, because then you’re not necessarily playing the way you want to play."
So, can people NOW! accept that the game is not broken, it is not a bad design, FD did not mess up.
THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

Oh well, early night for me then.
Yes, a poll, here & on reddit. Not a huge sample but enough to casually pick some numbers out:

There's more merging here than on the Santa Monica freeway!
Thanks, tireless Robert!
What...
It was a forum pool. And, like any forum pool, completely informal and biased. You want a hard statistic, get Frontier to share the ones they indubitably have.
As an example of why forum pools can't be trusted (and sorry for those that read this the previous times I've posted it), roughly a year ago Turbine released some info on the forum bias when it comes to players that engage in either PvP or raiding. Among the ones that post in the forums, they were over 50%; when taking into account the whole player base, they were less than 10%.
So, do you think it would ever be possible for a forum pool that was even tangentially related with PvP to give a correct result there? Or here, for what matters?
I figure that, since there's new names here from the Merge of the Megas that this info could use a refresh:
I've read a couple (or more) comments here about FD not listening (reading threads) on this topic. There is one that they definitely DO read, and that's the Vox Populi thread about these issues. There's a catch; you only get one post, so you'll need to compose and edit it for clarity; best done offline then copypasta.
Make your voice be heard on this topic. But make it good!
