FFXIV Forums come along.. People Opinions becomes the games reality.. and not what they want to create.. if you wanna know who is destroying the game ( for those that think the game is going down the tubes anyways) is the player base on the forums.

That's just me though, I just feel like its the players game not SE's game.. :/.
I dunno Star, aesthetics, minor balance and UI changes are really the only thing heavily player influenced, all the content was SE's Ideas and most of it was planned pre-forums. I guess you can argue that instancing was player influenced but to be honest with the way the server structure is and the amounts of lag in crowded areas I dont think SE had a choice really.

Also maybe jobs where player pushed but I dont think anyone can argue it wasn't a good idea.
