There has not been a single major patch without a critical issue since Endwalker.

I’ve loved this game and played it since 1.0 alpha days, been through all the ups and downs but I’ve found myself more and more increasingly saddened at the direction lately I feel the game is heading, but the worst part lately is I’m actually nervous at the reaction if I dare show even the thought of disappointment or criticism in any form when I see how others seem to get met with this behavior of “go play something else” or “you don’t understand infrastructure this is all the players fault for using said system right away.” I really enjoy most of what the game offers and I do play other MMOs but I’ve really lately had to feel like I’m making myself log on just because and I actually truly hate that feeling.

No one is going to be upset over well thought out critical feedback. The problem is, most of the feedback on the forums isn't that. It's people calling the devs names and taking a "sky is falling" approach where they act like the game is dying. That's where most people take issue and tend to say things like "play something else". Because the posts make them seem like they hate the game itself and makes people wonder why they're playing if everything about the game is negative. Overwhelmingly negative to the point that is just gets exhausting.

I am well aware the game isn't perfect. I still enjoy playing it. I still look forward to every patch.

The game is growing all the time. The bigger the game gets, the harder it gets to keep everything in line. Keeping jobs balanced, adding all these functions... it's a literal tonnage of hell they have to go through. Just throwing our money at doesn't solve everything. Feasibility is a major factor.
