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

I made my concerns known, but in hindsight I don't think I believed that things would get so out of hand. Yet, here we are.

It's progressive , just like many are saying happened to WoW. I kept seeing the devs get passes by people, like "give them time" etc. or this or that doesn't matter. The quality has been going downhill for awhile. I've said this before, but I always have to now emphasize *quality* when I question some design decisions. They seem to have moved over to mass appeal, and we are seeing the repercussions of that. Jobs being diluted, large scale content being focused, etc..

On top of that, FFXIV has a large amount of devout players. They won't bring up any issues with the game, and will, in fact, come to threads like these, or create new threads to try to sway any potential feedback to the devs as just a few people whining on the forums, that the *Actual* playerbase think the devs are doing a great job.
