Yup....
My friend, I guess I'll be blunt, but what are you on about?

This whole healing forum is rife with reasonable criticisms of FFXIV and only a minority of the posts here are the complaints you're claiming are the only ones perceived as okay. Because the crux of healer complaints here are the opposite. Many of us WANT a more interesting DPS rotation. If anything that has been the louder voice here.

This has been pretty much constant since the Shadowbringers Media tour (and possibly before, but media tour was when I starting airing my complaints).

Actually most of what I see on the FFXIV forums is criticism, so I am really confused what you're basing this on.

Just because there are people who disagree with you doesn't mean they're unable to accept criticism about a game they love, it just means they don't agree with that particular criticism.

But at no point have I ever been found to be attacked for making these complaints. I've had people disagree and I've had people also agree...which is fine. But have never felt I've been unable to make any criticism by the FFXIV community in general either and I've been a member of the FFXIV community for years now (started in ARR Beta Phase 3 and not stopped since).

My feeling is maybe the problem isn't criticism but either by how you view people disagreeing with you or by your approach with people - at least if you are finding this problem to be so prevalent. If you keep getting banned, I would suspect the latter. I realise this may be blunt, but honestly, you're absolutely okay to criticise Square Enix. IMO both praise and criticism are good for the development of the game. How it is done is not always positive.
