Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

[Remedi]

But a view streamers do not make a whole playerbase. And reddit itself was pretty negative about it too. There was a thread with over 1000 upvotes and it was really negative. If thats how they get their informations, then no wonder that we got Diadem 2.0..

I was not impliying it's the correct way to do, perhaps it's the lazyest one and frankly I've some bias against doing it. I'd rather not tell my feelings on this since I'd rather not cause drama over something I don't have proof off
However take note that a streamer can hold up to 500 wiewers (well much more but I haven't seen them having that many wiews outside ultimate) each as such the 1k upvotes are quite a small numbers when many streamers are stacked up

Unraleted but regarding horizzonal progress:

From how I see it, we lack inventory space, stats and content for it to be a thing, if you don't change any of these you'll jave ppl just getting whatever gear that has the highest crit that is the avaible on them.
