Savvy: It is one thing to voice your opposing opinion. It is another to make egregious assumptions and to generalize. Yes, I understand my opinion isn't "good". Yes, I understand that it is going against something that the dev team thought to do for us. And yes, I understand that if I get a gift from someone, don't be a dick and demand something else. That isn't what I am doing at all.

I pay for FFXIV. For a service. FFXIV prides itself on being a quality game, with awesome things like contests and give aways. It isn't a gift. Being community driven, the game strives on feedback and comments from people like you and like me. It wants the good and the bad. What if it only got the good from those who legitimately felt good about things, but the ones who were dissatisfied didn't speak up? It would be assumed that everything was peachy and nothing would change. You'd start seeing the player base dwindle. People would leave. FFXIV would lose money.

I understand you do not agree with my purpose. I respect that. Please don't scold me about my behavior. I want this thread to be productive and insightful for everyone; there is no need to shame.
