What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

Just gotta say. I dont normally post here, I've been playing since SHB and looking backwards at content, and then forwards, I can certainly agree with peoples concerns here. XIV is slowly following the pattern of WoW and it's very concerning.

I can only imagine how jaded some of you are, if you've been around for years. If I'm able to recognise these problems and I've only been playing since early/mid shb then... idk what to say lol. I feel like most of the time I cant criticise the game because people jump on me and gas light and claim nothing is wrong and I'm the problem, when in reality I only want what's best for the game longterm. It's actually very strange. I've never seen a game community act like this.

They are hypnotised. In other words tempered by the primal of complacency and wrongthink. Don't pay them too much attention.
