No, it is a serious question because to my understanding you were trying brush of criticism as "hate train", if i put it in a short term. This is seems not to be the case after this answer but your wording in some of your posting is not "easy to read" or can be easily missunderstood.
I think there are ppl that are too much but these are a very small group that can be divided into angry everything, oposition for the sake of it and trolls. Almost none of these post here.

Also i NEVER SAID it is doomed almost no one is saying that... those who are need to explain how and why.
Something on the side: ALL MMOS THAT ARE DYING, die slow and painfull. It is never fast except for the scams. If FF14 would be dying it would take 5 to 10 years (in my opinion probably more like 15 years if ever, they will milk away and just let it run as cheap as possible), atleast, to sever shutdown.

But EW is bad and it was NEVER this bad, except for 1.0 and even there was a solid story. Which is missing in EW in all regards. The ideas and concepts are good but the execution is so poor that i would take ARR in all its slowness or pre patch HW slug or even the SB steppe nonsense again over this "void story" or "myths of the realm" or "my little loporits friendship laser". Gameplay wise we have the same since ages and thats the problem but it works even if its stale, so far away from dying or collapsing.

To the point "insluting":
Thats a thing here ? I did not read all post but that should not be a thing... at all. People are snaky, salty or passive aggresive but thats not insulting. But maybe i am just a lucky Lala.
