I recieved a private message as well:
"Square Enix Should Not Allow This Update At Such A Sensitive Time, Please Vote Against It Before They Ruin The Game On The FFXIV Forum Post: ****-tf.xyz/ffxiv/****"
From Xoniaan Yerr * Zalera

I too saw that bit as deceptive and checked on the legitimate ffxiv forums (here) to make sure. I won't be going to that link and I advise others to not go to it as well.
