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.

This sounds more like an excuse to just discredit someones opinion just because you dont agree with it.
Not to say that there isn't likely at lease 1 person in SE's pocket...but I doubt every single person is being paid to say nice things or get emotionally driven in invested into the game...might as well just say WoW was never good because all of its praise is from Paid Actors...
Silly Right?

Those facts dont dictate other peoples experiences. Xeno, or Asmondgold getting interviews or sent stuff doesn't mean their experience or any praise of the game is bought out.
To say it is based on said facts, sounds more like you just want them to have the same opinion as you, and if they dont then its influenced.

When some one like zepla that has played this game for years, claims that the 6.1 has an excess of content as if it were any different than other x.1 patches. And 6.1 being the same as 5.1 or 4.1 is a fact, you can go and look at the previous patch notes now and see its the same content that drops every x.1 patch. The only extra special content you are getting is another pvp revamp which has happened multiple times. Yes I believe some youtubers are being endorsed to praise certain aspects of the game. They may have there own opinions of the story, game play, or what ever I don't really care. But, it does not change that they have videos that are endorsed by SE, and are treated differently than your average youtuber that covers the same content. Now did I say everyone, no you just claimed that yourself. Who are most people likely watching for FFXIV content?

Are you not posting all various threads that the threads are non-sense because you don't like the opinions in them?
Are these opinions offending you, hurting you, bothering you in some way?
