Dear SE, Stop Treating Us Like We Are A Single Community

tl;dr: I'm telling them not to cater to anyone at all and just make the best game they can within their own definitions.

Feedback is great and can help you find perspective, but it is RARELY a good idea to just implement what the loudest crowd is crying about.

I definitely agree that the devs can sometimes be too good at listening to feedback and implement some questionable changes. Sometimes "you think you want that but you don't" is actually the correct answer, as was very much the case with the two minute meta. To be fair though, games like this live and die by how they respond to player feedback so I certainly don't envy the tightrope they have to walk.

FFXIV honestly should cut down on their abilities. We have too much. But most people won't appreciate having less all too much. A skill tree will alleviate a lot of issues, but that'll cause issues. Just tired of the button bloat.

I have yet to hear a complaint about "button bloat" that didn't ultimately boil down to a skill issue on the complainer's part.
