There's always a reason to do constructive criticism on everything. It's how people improve. It's not always negative when it's backed by positive reinforcements either. When you're working at a job and you do something wrong or half-assed, why shouldn't there be a reason that your boss doesn't fire constructive criticism at you? Should he pat you on the back for doing a half-decent job? No, of course not.

Why should a video game development company be excluded from constructive criticism when it exists in every facet of our lives. Living inside of an echo chamber bubble is a dangerous way to prepare yourself from the real world.

As for my criticism towards the game, I'm going to basically echo what Momi had said about the content that it literally feels we are getting the same repetitive dribble over and over again without an ounce of creativity and ingenuity. I feel as if they're not even trying to improve the graphics and game engine over time and they're just sticking with their guns. I could understand keeping the same game engine for a 2-3 years, but XIV has been going for five years so far. You can't possibly tell me that the idea of upgrading the engine and coding hasn't crossed their minds so far when we're going to have things like PS5 and computers with better processors and graphics engines to meet the demand for more high-end games.

Also, another thing that has me a little miffed lately is their constant bias towards the Japanese playerbase for contests. You shouldn't enforce rules onto the other two regions only for you to allow two Japanese users to have two entries when the rules state that only one is allowed, not to mention has far more JP finalists than the other two regions. Don't make it so obvious that NA and EU is just an additional income for you guys. :/
