If your response to people who are airing their criticism and complaints is to simply dismiss them, that your response is to tell people to quit guess what is going to happen? They will quit and the player numbers reflect that reality, FFXIV is trending downwards you don't need to believe me look it up for yourself.

Finally here is YoshiP's own comment (albeit translated) asking players not to quit the game to not give up, to not retire to trust that content is coming, this is from PaxAus an evening with YoshiP.

Incorrect. My response is telling people to stop complaining ad nauseum now and instead vote with your wallets. Idk how you think continuing to spend money on a game you actively dislike and feel the devs aren't listening to you on is somehow the avenue to get your voices heard but I got news for you, that's a pretty idiotic move. If you want to see change, be the change they need to see and reflect on by leaving the game.

If more complainers did that, not only would the forums change for the better, but the game may genuinely improve.
