I'm not sure how I feel about the direction for XI, but I'm always hopeful that it'll pull through for those who still love it. Seems to me you care too much what others think. I could be wrong though.
I don't really care what others think, I just felt this would be a mutually beneficial proposition for those people. As for your stance on things, I would love to see FFXIV grow to be more but I don't see it happening and right now no game offers an experience like ffxi used to and thats why I want to go back. I don't know how in touch you are with ffxi as it is now, but the current director picked up a lot of ideas from his time working with Yoshida (the producer of 14) and has made it a very different experience. Were I to instead ask for changes to the current experience there is no way it would ever go through, it would offend too much of the current playerbase, those who did not quit as a result of the changes so the only answer I can see is to offer a single side experience for those who are looking for it so that it disturbs no one.
