Firstly, telling someone to "play another game" or "unsubscribe then" is dismissive and unhelpful. It's okay to be critical of a game or express dissatisfaction with it, especially when you're paying for a subscription. Players have a right to voice their opinions and concerns.
Saying that "the game was always like this" doesn't mean that it can't be improved. Developers should always strive to make their games better, and player feedback can be invaluable in achieving that goal. Dismissing feedback by saying that "you didn't even give suggestions" is also unhelpful, as players shouldn't be expected to provide detailed solutions to every problem they encounter.
Claiming that "it's just a small minority" of players who are unhappy with the game is a sweeping statement that may not be accurate. Even if only a small percentage of players are vocal about their complaints, that doesn't mean that the issues they raise are insignificant or unimportant.
Suggesting that "Steam charts mean nothing" or "nobody watches Twitch" is not entirely true. Player population and engagement are important indicators of a game's health and longevity, and can provide valuable insights for developers.
Saying that "I never liked that content creator anyway" is not a valid argument against criticism, as players should be allowed to listen to a variety of perspectives and form their own opinions.
Claiming that "I like it better this way" or "I still have so much content to do" doesn't address the concerns that other players may have. It's important to consider the experiences of other players and recognize that their opinions may differ from your own.
Stating that "housing is a luxury" or "I don't want that, it gives me FOMO" ignores the fact that housing is a core feature of the game that many players enjoy. It's understandable that some players may not prioritize housing, but it's important to recognize that it's a significant part of the game for others.
Suggesting that "just datacenter hop" is a solution to server issues overlooks the fact that players may have established communities and relationships on their current server, or may not want to deal with the hassle of transferring characters and items.
While it's understandable to have a defensive stance towards a game that you enjoy, it's important to recognize and address valid criticisms and concerns that other players may have. Dismissing feedback and opinions outright can lead to an unproductive and toxic environment.

I think the thing thats scary about this is 6.4 is likely the last meaningful update of Endwalker, and thats solely because its the last savage tier.
There is basically nothing for the game after that, the next year is going to be rough. -
05-08-2023, 06:58 AMSturmChurroLiterally, just have to take the advice and play other games. I always took breaks (by choice), so it hasn't been as much of an adjustment for me, but for players that this is their main or only game, yeah I can see it being a difficult. It's unfortunate. It definitely isn't healthy for the game.Quote:

I'm curious to see what will happen to the game/ forums after the patch drops in light of that, as I really don't see myself staying beyond then, being as it's all that kept me scarcely tethered to the game this far, and I'm wondering just how many people are of a similar mindset. I suppose we shall see! -
