What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

This isn't exclusive to Ikara, but I do feel that many people like them simply don't understand this. We aren't complaining just for the sake of complaining. We complain because we care and want the game to continue to do well. I'd like to think that having the game thrive would be beneficial for everyone, but perhaps I'm mistaken or something. Or maybe I'm just not meant to understand what goes on in other peoples' heads.

Yet I never said don't complain. Im saying why repeat the same thing every single day? It'll take time for things to change and some people are overbearing/rude with this stuff. It doesn't matter if you're doing it because you care, it has to be done correctly. Not everyone here is kind when it comes to complaints and it's rare to see folks "white knight" n claim the game is perfect.

To me people are being hyperbolic when they claim the game is going downhill/declining/dying (see the above xiv thriving to be a visual novel bit for example). I'd maybe believe that more if content queues slowed down, logging in was faster, areas weren't full or some data was out showing a playerbase decline (moreso this last one because it's hard evidence with no personal bias).

We all know the game isn't perfect but man...it really does seem you can't claim to be content witj certain aspects of this game without being called a white knight or boot licker. Or worse yet you're labeled as someone who does want the game to thrive (as ridiculous as that notion is).

I doubt any of us want to game to fail. But the community (as I've said before) has turned this into an "us vs them" situation. People think they are superior in how they think and that will only create issues
