Perhaps the players who feel so strongly about it should take their leave of the game and vote with their wallets? Even if it's only a temporary affair, it's worrying that of all the issues that this game had endured recently this is becoming the latest storm in a teacup.

this is a stupid argument because when people do vote with their wallets they get called out for "not supporting the people who made the things they enjoy."

Can you give me an example of someone using that argument? Consider me intrigued.

I'm a firm believer in people voting with their wallets if they feel that a particular company has done them a disservice not just because it sends the company a message but because it's excellent for the individual's health and well being. There are countless games out there that people could be playing. Both in terms of single player games and multiplayer games. Not everybody is going to enjoy FFXIV and that's perfectly fine.

look at battlefield 5 and the Angry Joe nonsense for a not-this-game, but current events example.

That's largely irrelevant to FFXIV, though. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone here call people out for not 'supporting the game'. If anything, I see a lot of people encouraging players to not throw money at FFXIV. This is particularly true of the recent companion app, which received a lot of - understandable - backlash and has been hit with negative reviews.

That's all that needs to be said for this entire thread.
