If you do /sea all and look at how the server population continues to drop, you would see that it is not complaining. These are suggestions to prevent the continued loss of subscribers. What fun is there in logging into the game and receiving items for doing nothing? That is not fun. Even with that, people are not logging in. I know numerous people that feel the rewards for the login campaign are great but would not be bothered to log in to get those rewards because it is not fun. They could very well rename the game, "FFXI Version 2.5: Seekers of the Login Campaign". Monostrosity is fun, but it should not be all there is to do.
In addition to what I have said, creatures need to be adjusted so multiple jobs are useful. Shadowbind from RNG, Chainspell stun from RDM, Invincible and actual tanking ability from PLD, Manafont from BLM... these were all things that were once useful in the game. When was the last time we had a RNG use Shadowbind for anything? It was fun creating new strategies, and it was fun actually having something other than BRD swapping to defeat creatures.
