This may well be the most ignorant thing I've ever seen you post.

Not one single person has ever suggested that Battle Content should take a back seat to Gathering or Crafting. We have only pointed out that Gathering and Crafting are both very popular activities that do not deserve to be dismantled and ignored.

It is not unreasonable to want content for every kind of class.

It is not unreasonable to want your favorite class to maintain a significant role in the game.

It is not unreasonable to ask for engaging game play mechanics.

It is, however, unreasonable to say that Crafting and Gathering do not bring in and maintain a player base. This game maintained a population solely on these classes. People have shown time and time again that there is a very large dedicated audience to these kind of activities. In FFXIV it is one of the few remaining features that stand out among other eMMOs. If this game is to ever have any hope of become a top tier MMO the Dev team needs to embrace these unique features and improve upon them. They need to stop ignoring and dismantling them.
