Criticism or negative feedback is voiced for a reason, more so when it's ignored.

Whatever happened to not Ignoring Job feed-back from players?
  • WHM still waiting on more then just Glare?
  • DRK Dark Arts just poof?
  • MNK Positionals deleted?
  • NIN Trick attack sudden change?
  • DNC Flourish what happened to that?
  • SMN over simplification?
  • SAM Kaiten removal?
For the recent 6.1 SAM changes, Yoshi and Dev's literal words were " Give it a try " and " Give us Feedback ". We tried and we gave feedback as requested. 130 Anti Kaiten removal/6.1 SAM change threads. 8 Youtube videos of content creators and streamers disliking 6.1 SAM changes. The JP forums on fire with negative feedback and criticism, and yet for 4 months? nothing... Ignored.

Though 4 months pales in comparison to years of WHM mains being Ignored. Perhaps this backlash was the reasoning AST and DRG were delayed, though speculations.

Ah, so it's not General Discussion it's " Selective Discussion ", I see. Gone take a wild guess that Criticism isn't oke either just Selective Criticism, like Hrothgar hair. Which is probably an issue that's also been Ignored, I haven't really followed the news on that. If anyone can tell me for how long that's been Ignored feel free to share.

What about the " Housing Lottery " debacle then, where it was obvious players could create Solo-FC's and are now the winners of the new system over actual players who want to own a private house. The warnings clearly Ignored and let's not even touch upon individuals that own entire Wards of houses, unaddressed and the list can go on with what players voice that has been Ignored.

Yoshi and the Dev's aren't perfect, thus not immune to critique.
Nor do I see a reason to fetishize/ embrace the idea of " Victimizing a billion dollar company ". Which if you can believe it some do.

Not every person is a WhiteKnight/CompanySuckup no, nor is every Critique an Attack. Though apparently players have been demonized for it when many have very good reasons to give criticism.

Generally, players voice Critique cause they care. You can tell when they truly stop caring if they aren't here anymore to voice anything at all for being Ignored for to long. Passionate players voice concerns or critique because they either want to prevent elements from the game to not be ruined or to see FFXIV improve.


Having a bunch of nodding yes-man, doesn't achieve that.
