If it is not broken, DO NO FIX IT!

And of course you can speak for the majority, right?

And by the way, there's a BIG difference between "not in a satisfactory condition" and "broken" or "on the verge of death".

A professional game developer normally knows that

I'm sure you know quite a bit about game developers.

This game costs millions of dollars to operate. The amount of money lost on this game is significant. Last year a little after the game was released SE lost $26 million in one day in stocks and XIV was blamed for that. Although the amount recovered over time, many stockholders have been dropping out due to this game's performance.

Broken means unbalanced and/or unenjoyable. I'm not too sure what it means to you. The game is unbalanced. The "verge of death" is indeed true. If major changes do not happen which will bring a large quantity of players back within the next few months to a year, and the PS3 release is not a success (I'm personally sure it will be), FFXIV may very well be unplugged.

Checking your lodestone I see you started when the game was released. I'm not sure what your server is like but if it was anything like mine every camp you'd go to and every city had several dozen to a couple hundred players at once. Everywhere was completely packed. Now, you'd be lucky to see 15 people at any one camp. The only camps I really see people at are at grinding camps and I only see about 20-30 people maximum. Limsa and Gridania are almost completely dead and Ul'dah has about 60-100 people in it. From what I can tell, Besaid is one of the most populated servers.

Those numbers are low. This game had several hundred thousand players registered (above 600,000 I believe) and it has dropped down to 17,000-30,000 active players maximum.

I'm afraid it's no dice.

Edit: Oh yeah, and poll results.
