If you wanted to go that route, I've been here since 1.0 beta, subbed through all but the last couple of months of 1.0, and everyone else has been in my space and isn't as "real" of a FFXIV gamer as I am because I played the game back before there was a jump button or a market board. /s
Nobody here is demanding that the game is catered specifically to them. In fact, they're asking for variety. Which we're not really getting. Aveyond's been pretty consistent in requesting a more diverse cast of characters. Not a weird lump of samey individuals who all share the exact same opinions and ideals without every truly going against one another or having much in the way of agency.

I also don't think it's unfair to suggest that the game has shifted its tone and target audience. Maybe the development team should be more honest about that.
