"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

FFXIV has no direct competition and to be honest hasn't had one in years. The people against constructive criticism will feel justified because of the game's success. It's just not going to change until an actual new big successful MMORPG takes its place by offering what it doesn't. Or interest in MMORPGs collapses so bad the game loses significant income generation on its own.

I have a long list of peeves with its current design but I'm not expecting them to be addressed. Because despite what I think the game keeps growing in popularity.

Oh for sure. That’s why it’s so sad like, yes the game is growing atm but i’m not so blind by 14’s success as to think it’s purely because it has no faults. It’s just moreso there’s no competition right now. I’m hoping something comes out in the near future that either gives 14 competition that it causes some kind of turnaround in the way the community handles criticism, or a game i can at least jump ship too lol.

I'm hoping Lost Ark and Elden Ring does well when they do decide to launch in NA.

Elden ring isn't an MMO tho, it's a souls like.

And lost are will likely be another failure after a few months, like arch age, Tera, etc, etc.

I mean, if the game and the developers are that bad, you can actually "jump ship" now lol There's nothing stopping you and the way you describe the situation here makes it sound like it's nearly pure torture for you

When did i say the devs or the game is that bad? Im saying its heading down that road with the way the community is with its way of handling criticism. I've already laid out my opinions on this expansion in terms of quality though plenty of times unfortunately theres no real mmo alternatives atm so 14 is the best one in that regard even if i and many others have grievances with it from time to time.This is like something another poster said in this very thread of people just giving general criticism or expressing concerns and people's retort is just saying "go play another game" lol
