Again, FFXIV has done and must do better than this.
stifled? hardly, you post a lot, and usually negative. there are a LOT of negative threads on the forums.. so where is this stifling you speak of?

you said you were leaving and not coming back until they changed. they didnt change and yet here you are, back again/still.

you'll pay whatever to keep playing, complaining about graha eating, their advertising, their target group, their portrayal of the character you dislike this week... you know it, but more importantly, they know it too.

this is like complaining about the food at MacDonalds, but continuing to return because you expect them to serve italian...and "hoping" they'll change.
