I've seen a lot of debates recently between people about whether or not we should be getting more content, or just about people wanting different kinds of content to what we're getting right now, and while I don't necessarily agree or disagree with either side, there seems to be such a dramatic response to everything. If someone who's main interest is savage or ultimate raiding says they want more content on that side of the game, or more repeatable content, so many people will just say stuff like "well you might not care about the story, but final fantasy is a story game so that's the most important part" and so on, and do stuff like tell them to go back to wow and that ffxiv isn't made for them.

and like, while I do really enjoy the higher difficulty endgame fights in the game, I don't have the perspective of a story skipper. I love the story and it's my favorite part of the game, and I also love a lot of the more "casual" content (like crafting/gathering, map hunts, glamour, just socializing with people in the overworld and so on). But that doesn't mean that I like all the content in the game, or the direction it's taking everything.

Personally, I dislike shiva unreal for a variety of reasons, I wish we didn't get less dungeons with post-shb patches compared to stormblood, and I dislike the recent ast changes. I love the game, and I loved most of 5.3, but there are still things I would like to see changed about the game.

I love ffxiv, but nothing is flawless. Why do so many people act like having personal opinions on how the game could get even better is toxic?
