I get some people are perfectly fine with the game as it currently is and that's great for them, but telling people if they dont like it then just take a break only hurts the game (Not you in particular, but people who have throughout the thread).

If people had checked the thread I mentioned before (What about a JPN-NA thoughts corner?), there was a person who was giving some insight as to what the JP community was feeling in regards to the current state of the game.

I'm also sure, since some people have wanted additions to the game even though they said they like the current state, that there is stuff not just from FFXI but other games in general they would like to see. The dev team already proved up to 3.4 that they can pull other things from other final fantasy titles beyond just an event, which can open a flood gate of content that can fit within the confines of this world.
(Dramatic voice?) Sometimes, I just wish we could have a commonly used second forum, community moderated, that allows us to figure out what matters most to us, pin those issues and sub-issues therein, work in project teams to hash them out before and after peer review, easily track how far different issues how progressed, and actually present that unified front – or better yet, silver platter ideas. Alas...
