Ok, most of your post is wishy washy rambley nonsense so I'm going to skip to the relevant parts.

I realize however that if they could make you unlock abilities MUCH faster, to the point you have almost your whole kit at lvl 50, this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
And I hear complaints from such MMO forums that FFXIV is a Weeb game full of Cat (Now Bunny) Girls. Should The developers make the game less Anime (Whatever the hell that means), remove Ninja and Samurai and Delete the Mi'Qote and Viera from the game to appease these people too?

Here's the problem Little Timmy. There have been Franchises, Companies and entire Genres that have torn thier metaphorical own guts out to appease a mythical "Wider audience" That NEVER EVER materialises. Each of them dead or living on as a husk of their former selves. This isn't hairdressing, one errant snip and this stuff don't grow back. This is why people get defensive of this happening to their game.

I have long since stopped caring about the opinions of people who say "Just". "Why can't they Just?" "All they have to do is Just... "Without thought as too why the game is like that. That the other things in the background that need to JUST be done to even make this work. Like it's flipping a switch on or off. Feedback without thought is meaningless. It's how we get crap like Gordias.

I digressed a bit there, what where we talking about?

Because you are slow, lets go slowly.

"The number of active characters decreased by 180,000 from the previous time (1.04 million) to about 860,000 In February 11". However this census was taken on the 6th of April, 4 days before Patch 5.25 which is a lul content period.

Still higher than previous concurrent content lul periods.

I've shown you mine, lets see yours.
This was my response to TC who asked for proof that the game is sustainable and would you look at that proof. Final Fantasy still grows, alive and well for all to see. Since you where going to bat for the TC, in your usual contrarian way, I asked for evidence for stats for all these mythical people who think that the msq is too long and is killing the game. Suddenly there's a outbreak of crickets and tumbleweeds.

They are already fixing the one part that is universally considered a drag. So lets wait until 5.3 to see shall we?
