I'm just generalizing the fact that a lot of us are disappointed. Work on FF14 because its the next big thing, sure but don't forget about us who has stayed supporting the company allowing to create 14 in the first place. To me money is the big thing in the world that companies today are more focused on how we can get a good chunk of it. But don't leave behind the crowd who has endured so much over the years especially us who are becoming heart broken over 11 in the direction it's going.

You can easily say "Get over it" if you want but I'm sure some people can agree the amount of time in this game we have invested, the amount of money we have used to support FFXI, If SE cannot handle both 11 and 14, then we should deserve more attention being that we are the backbone fanbase that SE has. Not new clients jumping on the game for the first time.
Okay...

You say "us" as if I do not belong to this community or something lol. I played XI for 9 years, and on and off for the past two yrs. I think I am just as much a loyal customer as you are.

I am disappointed at the game direction as well, don't get me wrong. A lot of these new announcements about content just leave me scratching my head or completely lost.

As far as "leaving people behind", I think, if that was really their intention, they would have shut this game down. They keep it going for us, the community, even though we don't care for the content that's been released lately. This isn't XIV's fault though, which several people tend to blame for XI's descent.

I never said "get over it" either. I've invested time on this game, just like you have. I've supported it outside of just the game, by buying their soundtracks and their artbooks and all that. I'm not going to use this as some kind of qualification card though, because regardless of playtime, I think everyone here deserves to have their opinions heard, even if we don't always agree.

That said, if it takes a massive drop in subs to get SE's attention to this pile of crock they're doing to XI, then maybe that's what needs to happen. I don't really see them budging until something drastic like that happens. :/
