I said this in another thread but negative feedback isn't a bad thing, it means you have people who care about your product. What you don't want is apathy. If people simply don't care anymore they will unsub and leave forever.

So why not try and have them make the best possible game they can? We know they are capable of better stories because we've played through several expansions which have, objectively, better stories.
This thread also just shows that it isn't just some cross-cultural divide on this particular issue where NA/EU hatewagon the story while JP loved it, unlike some other issues where JP and NA/EU actually have some level of disagreement (like healer job design). I found it surprising just how closely aligned a lot of our criticisms are.
