I think it's interesting to see the votes so far, i made this thread on reddit as well.

The response on reddit seems to be a lot more positive and people seem content there. :P
While people seem more dissatisfied on the official forums.

While FFXI is my favorite MMO to be honest, looking at the results so far it seems about 75-80% are happy with the current state of the game.
Of which 1/3 of the happy players (25% of total) does not want changes,
while 2/3 of the happy players (52% of total) would welcome bigger changes.
And pretty much 4/5 of the unhappy players (18% of total) sticks around because, while they're not happy as it is, they still think this is the best MMO available or have hope for 4.0

So i'd say SE is doing everything right so far, sticking to their formula and just occasionally testing the waters with trying new content here and there.
The number of Happy players that do not want changes is bigger than the number of unhappy players waiting for changes.
