What happened in the last week to make people so vocally against the current state?

I think most are happy. The forums are a severe minority and the Discord isn't official and it's run by a lot of bad people.

Probably the AFK'ers lol. Honestly though I am waiting on Ashes of Creation because FFXIV is in a boring stale state

There could literally be 5 players left in the game and you'd still be able to find those 5 people for content, that doesnt mean the game is alive

Is it an exageration ? Absolutely but it just shows how stupid your point is, you also play on Crystal so of course you'll have people for content all the time, it's the only NA datacenter alive for content.

Wait, what? Aether is supposed to be dead? Nobody told us.

Adding on to this, Crystal leveling roulettes pop within 5 minutes in the early morning hours as a dps so I’m inclined to believe the complaining is a “them” problem.

I see some people are still pretending that you cant just forum post at work or while waiting for queues to pop.

I'm sorry, I think you meant Aether?

Given how slowly some people seem to make their way through the game maybe it actually isn't all that surprising that they vastly overestimate how long it takes to create a forum post.

So why are you still here, then?

You make it your mission to criticise these people yet you're the one insistently trailing after their posts just to call them bitter daily. You'd think the "laundry list" of things you claim to want to do would offer more compelling entertainment for you.

That's honestly what I been wondering, so many posters claiming how amazingly perfect the game is and yet they go to the forums. Like shouldn't you just never be at the forums if the game is perfect and play when you can play? Maybe it's like Game+ they aim to make it Perfect+ which is when everyone has the same opinion about the game that it is indeed flawless and it cannot be improved in any way shape or form, mhm.

Did something happen in the last week that ignited all of this?

Yes something did indeed happen.

I decided to do Fates again to help a friend farm some Furniture's and as I was ready to hit the 1st Mob... I recalled many moons ago... (or Summers / Winters idk...) that I used to have a skill called " Kaiten ". Having fond memories of relaxing Fates just slashing away with... my Kaiten... obviously.

Alas, a Samurai with Kaiten I am no more... Gone... and a sudden amount of excessive in-game depression hit me, obviously. Copious amounts of Copium, as I dropped to my knees with my Katana falling off thine hand screaming into the sky for the one and only true savior ( Yoshi-P obviously ) " Why has thy forsaken thee! big nods! " I yelled with my tiny arms extended to the heavens in the most dramatic slow-motion manner you could think of... ( in my head of course cause like... that emote doesn't exist in-game? )

Thus I revisited the Forums to spread the word! that I want my Singular precious Button back!! " My precious " ( I have not watched Lord of the Rings? but this is a reference I think?... ) obviously!! even though I know damn well it shall never ever return... rip...

( How was that story-writing... 1/10? yeah I agree ._. )
