Or, perhaps, state what it is about the game you dislike so that the developers might be able to make better choices in the future. Why is this such a difficult concept for people to understand

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, many of the people who voice their complaints do so because they want to see this game succeed. They can see the potential it has for being something great, and to see that potential squandered or spoiled is brutal. This is compounded by the fact that we, as subscribers, have invested our money into this game to see it realise that potential. That's right. We're investors, and FFXIV is our collective product. Try telling a shareholder that their opinion is worthless, and see how long your company lasts!

If there was no feedback and people just left the game, I shouldn't need to remind you that A Realm Reborn would never have happened. It literally would not have existed, because this game would have died at 1.0 when it was a buggy, sludgy mess. But, maybe that's your goal. Maybe you secretly tire of the game and wish to see it fail? Well, not me. I want to see it succeed.

Even I have limits to my patience, however, and they're really pushing their luck by announcing yet another replacement allagan tome. There's only so many cycles of the same content people will accept before even the best of us give up. If SE is wise they will heed the complaints made and weigh up alternatives so they can truly consider the future of this game. In Yoshi's own words - If it isn't fun, you're doing it wrong.

For those who are pretty much up to the latest content, in a sense it does feel like a requirement to play the content the game is trying to provide for you. And as mentioned above, to say "Oh just go do something else" is very naive and belittling of the time and effort people have put in to their enjoyment of something. It's crass and uncalled for.

I forgive SE, but with how the game currently is, they wont get more money from me aside once a patch if that often till there's more depth. Playing a fashion game is fun for a little bit but not something I seriously want to invest a lot in.

Do you think Final Fantasy XIV might be good again when they've finished with Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy VII Remake?
Keep in mind though, one of these titles doesn't look like it'll see the light of day (FFXV)

Come on Square, almost 10 years!!!
