why the crystal tower raids are still part of the roulette?

This would hurt people on Road to 80 servers. I have multiple level 70 characters on my Marilith alt and *just* hit SB. I was well into 60 still in the middle of HW. So people should just be locked out of their daily because SE makes them level too fast?

It's fine to hurt those leveling up as opposed to stab at veterans, it's a choice I always will make.

New players don't pay my sub

or just do not hurt any one. there some easy ways to make so all get it good. now no one do. i personally know lots of people that DO WANT TO DO OTHERE ALLIANCE RAIDS but cant as they wait times are longer that the time they have to play. all of them are people that plays a year or less so new players. the current stat of things not exactly help new players that much as well. to do msq maybe but what after it?

No but they keep the lights on.
An MMO without new players is a stagnant one, and a far less profitable one.

The only way an MMO can sustain itself off veterans alone is if those veterans are absolute whales.

sad but you are correct to a point. a game like ff14 can live on the veterans just fine but new players bring in the big cash bursts

I don't think that's true. New players aren't more likely to bring in cash "bursts", but they replenish the sub fees lost by those older players leaving for one reason or another.
I'm also not convinced it would survive for long with only vets. Might stumble along for an expansion or two, but without new blood, the game will feel a lot more dead, especially with how much of it is geared towards new and leveling players. That's my opinion, anyhow.

but they are as they BUY the game when older players d not. they can buy some extra cash shop things when older players did it by now. now to survive of the vets mostly yoshi will need to humble the F. he will need to stop pretend as if he is THE PLAYERS and start hearing what players really want. we all know he socks at this. so there a big 50/50 if ff14 can live off veterans or not.

That's not really a cash "burst" though is it? It's just steady income as new players come in, buy the game and a sub.

I think anyone claiming to know what the "players" want, is 9 times out of 10 talking bollocks, even players.
A lot of the time players don't even themselves know what they want, and most of the time it's going to be determined by what echo chambers they choose to reside in.

I think Yoshi and the team do a good job. They have a clear vision for the game, even if that's not for everyone, and they are willing to take into account player feedback on the little details like balance and QoL.

A lot of the time players don't even themselves know what they want?? i mostly know what i want. think is each player can want different things that not necessarily work at the same time.
I think Yoshi and the team did good in 2.0, really great in 3.0. dropped the ball in 4.0. got unbelievably well made expansion in 5.0 but then the ball was dropped even more in the later patches. they got lucky in the same time people was feed on WOW and ff14 was the only big mmo at the time that was not dead. then the fails of new world bring them even more players. by now the game bleed players. most of the wow players returned to wow. new world is some wat ok now so some people returned there as well.
lots of older players that are the most important to make happy are not happy as we get more pf the same and problems being ignored. new content fails to last for even a weak by now. at this point the game lives on a BIG part of the players that play this as an online sims over an mmorpg. so i cant say yoshi doing good job, the devs are. to bad yoshi calls all the shots and devs need to work for free out of work hours to add things they want to the game.
as to take into account player feedback, show ne when was the last time they did so? go ask the healers.
