It's interesting to see the disconnect on the forums to what I see ingame and what Streamers reactions are ( especially old WoW Streamers ).

On the forums '' omg I can't believe this patch so little content worst ever '', ingame and Streamers '' wow there's so much content I am amazed I love all of this it's incredible ''.
I get the disappointment with Job changes/ lack of in some cases and the Hrothgar ears or housing stuff ( altho people who got ultra mad were also for the most part wrong about what even went wrong too... ).
But there's a pretty insane level of discrepancy between what I see on the forums and basically everywhere else.

I just dunno what it is, I have problems with some stuff too the SAM changes are still completely baffling to me.
But in the *grand* scheme of things it's minor issues especially compared to problems other MMO's are having.
PvP In FFXIV isn't exactly my jam either but based on what I've seen at least it has been overwhelmingly positively received and every time I go to the Wolves Den I can't load in everyone it's perpetually overflooded with people PvP:ing.

In the end of the day if you're not having fun with the game then maybe it's time for a break or rethink because some people here just seem miserable and like playing for them is a chore.
And people who play other MMO's have a lot of the same thoughts too or even worse, I think a lot of this is a grass is always greener type of situation.
I mean holy hell especially when it comes to balance in GW2 it's a complete nightmare and has made me quit so many times before, there's issues that have been around since day 1 of the game that goes totally ignored and even gets made worse at times.

I really feel like healing fluctuates wildly, I healed P3S last week on SGE for the first time healing in Savage and it felt easy.
Today I did it with WHM and it felt like a complete nightmare and we kept wiping because the SGE just didn't shield at all I literally got one shot by the fountain lol and it happened multiple times.
That wasn't the only issue tho I dunno wtf people were doing but there were people dropping a lot and very suddenly.

I don't rly have a problem with that if people are actually screwing up, but if people aren't then it often feels like you don't have much to do other than spam 1.
Not gonna lie tho, part of me is also scared to death of what it'd be like if healing was actually more difficult and involved.
Especially towards the end of P4S it often feels like we're moments from wiping constantly with A LOT of PF healers.
