All it takes a stroll in the SAM thread, the tank voices in their forums, or the megathread with healers. Or the megathread with Hroth. Or the megathread with Viera. Or the megathread with housing. Or the megathread with-

Are you doing this on purpose? This is why I hate the community now.


Pointless hair split for the purpose of saving face. Be more subtle. Also, I wouldn't use such spicy contexts for this.
The forums... are a small portion of the population. If I had to make an estimate based off of post counts and forum activity, I'd say somewhere in the range of 1% of the overall game population ever posts here, much less regularly.

Which is why I said that in your limited viewpoint, it can seem unanimous. But you're not taking to heart the very important context that your perspective IS limited.

Let's take the healer megathread for example... even assuming that the majority of healers who post on the forums agree that healers should be more engaging to play... there is a very significant disagreement as to the HOW of that or what we would even want. Many point to old rotations involving cleric stance as a 'gold standard', but a LOT of us never want cleric stance to come anywhere closer to our character again than the Bozja version as a silly zone effect because we consider cleric stance to be the worst designed ability in ffxiv's history.

We're still not completely unanimous, even about a seemingly 'unanimous' thread. The reality is that no feedback you see is unanimous, even if it seems that way from the limited perspective we get looking at the forums or reddit or twitter or where-ever else. That perspective is VERY IMPORTANT to avoid letting things go to your head. The devs have many more sources of feedback than just us.

We are a minority here. Even if we're a unanimous minority about some issues, we're still a very small minority, so we should recognize that our feedback is just one source of information the game devs have that they use to help determine their course and not assume that all other sources mirror the feedback we're giving and thus not expect them to always cater to every piece of feedback we submit, even if it seems unanimous.
