    Some players have been waiting years to see particular changes or improvements, so naturally many will be disappointed with today's info dump. Venting is to be expected. Telling people who just learned news they don't like not to complain could also be considered energy for nothing as opposed to waiting for the initial steam to blow off, but we all do what we do, even silly me
    I don't create a subject to express my weariness to see people create topics to complain about and nothing for the result. Because, it is very likely that it will happen anyway.

    That's why I think my energy expenditure is negligible.

    And (bonus), I don't watch Game of Throne.
    And, I'm not disappointed by my favorite heal job.

    And

    Still the same energy to type as anyone else People spend their energy on lots of things, and venting is one of them. Sometimes its merely cathartic (which can have some value) and sometimes it actually causes change. I've seen people in uproar over proposed changes in another MMO and it led to a modification of the dev approach. Either way, the winds blow and the seas roar without regard to our qualms or asperity.

    Yet, example is relevant. Some folks are still upset over it but the volume on social media has died down. Some of the spicier complaint vs. anti-complaint comments over the past 24 hours conjure for me the of a person removing some of the wrapping from a gift and saying (sometimes loudly and angrily) that they're disappointed, while someone else is replying "Who cares?" or "You can't be sure yet!" Interesting social dynamic.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.
