If you continue to dumb down the game, you will lose half your player base

You have to remember a lot of youtubers that cover FFXIV content are endorsed by SE in some way. Do you really think if John Doe made FF content with a smaller channel that was not endorsed by SE went through the same experience as Zepla and lost the same FF merch. Do you think SE would have sent them anything? Do you not think it is weird that certain content creators are brought to interview Yoshi P but some one like Xenos is not invited? You have to be fairly ignorant to ignore these facts.



That's the point of feedback, we are not making the final decisions but we are giving an opinion of what is wrong and what should change. We are not the game developers we are the consumers. Do not get that confused.

Tbh I think Xenos not being invited had more to do with him having been banned and having a more antagonistic attitude.
I like Xenos content I think he's funny I am not saying that as a jab at him or anything, but I think it's less about only inviting people who are positive and more about inviting people who won't potentially cause a scene.
I don't actually think that Xenos would've I think he's capable of being serious and putting his persona aside for it.
But from the devs pov he's a guy that has been banned before who yells a lot and calls them morons etc.

I've seen people defend the pre-ShB MCH whose class mechanics made very little sense, Bowmage, and even advocate for making Carbuncle "the future of new SMN" despite the rework doing us the favor of untangling damage from disobedient pets. This place has got it all.

I actually liked '' Bowmage '' lol.
