I have absolutely no doubt that both the people that complain, and the people who do voluntary PR work for SE both want the best for the game. But only one side fails to recognise that people complain not from a place of malice, but because they care.

You know what happens when complainers are gone? The game's already dead at that point. If you want an echo chamber to fanboy over every half broken patch and slither of content the devs deliver, there's a place called r/xiv where the most inane and redundant posts and takes get skyrocketed into updoot heaven. You should check it out!
Ever since the "god king" thing most western nations hate the term now, lol. Besides, at this point the complaint slide they showed off seems more like lip service in hindsight. The game has gone past the point where it no longer has to cater to it's long term crowd, they have plenty ready to buy a ton of stuff in the mogshop so those long term subs seems pale in comparison to a handful of whales, lol. At this point, enjoy the game for what is it until they cross "that" line. You know which one. It's different for everyone, but it's there.
