So you resort to insults... awesome.
Now correct me if I'm wrong please. I believe anyone who has a SE account is able to participate in the Polls. Or is it players how had/have an active FFXIV account? I don't remember. Conversely would you want the opinions of people who may have never even played the game answering those questions?
I would think from a developers stand point, I'd want the views and opinions of people who have actually spent a reasonable amount of time with the game, especially the views and opinions of the ones who left.
I also recollect that Yoshi P said that has several tens of thousands of responses to the players poll.
found the quote:
"And finally, the second Players' Poll has come to a close. As with the first, the turnout was overwhelming, with tens of thousands of users taking the time to make their voices heard. "

How can you argue against tens of thousands of people, when the majority of those people feel that the "spamming of abilities" is the 2nd biggest problem with the battle system? Are they all
dumb too?
Your several friends, all 10,000+ of them feel that FFXIV's battle system is fine. None of them own the game, thus haven't spent oh.... I don't know, a month playing the game.
However, anyone with a SE account (which anyone can get) can access these forums. (I believe)
