Quite simply put, this little wave of negativity that certain individuals started and continue to perpetuate (yeah, you know who you are, I'm not sugar coating this) needs to end. The general discussions have usually had debates here and there, but in my time here, it's never been this bad nor this spread out over the first 2-3 pages. The only exception I've seen for this was housing, and that was much more understandable. Right now, the general discussions sub forums are becoming little more than reddit jr... And that's saying a lot considering the right now, I find more good things being talked about on reddit than I do here right now.

If you're totally unsatisfied with the product, take a break and come back later. If you are unsubbing, then leave. Don't continue coming here, arguing with everybody you see in your radar, and then finish your posts with saying how much time you have left, as if anybody here is supposed to feel sorry for you. Don't come here and attack other players and start insulting them because they're using their money for legitimate things on the cash shop. Quit being a bandwagon on this train of "FFXIV is in major problem territory" when it's clearly not.

If you want to go, then go. If you want to leave feedback for your dissatisfaction, there are places you can go. You are fooling yourself if you think the mods are going to pass any kind of feedback about your unsub reasons from the general discussions to the devs. At the most, the mods will look at your thread to ensure no harassment, language, or serious personal attacks are occurring. Complaining for the sake of complaining is a fool's errand. Bandwagon all you want, ask your doing is creating an echo chamber that goes absolutely nowhere.

If you have a legitimate problem, don't take the forums down with you on your way out the door. There are sub threads and even your own SE account you can do that in.

Or... Just continue to complain for no reason at all. Because that's how dissatisfied customers do things these days... Sit on a computer and complain and tweet about it to other players on hopes that they'll either join them, or they "prove" that they're white knights themselves.

Yeah, that will totally show the devs that we mean serious business, right?
