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

[EaraGrace]

I do feel the need to point out my experience with the perception that 14 has "peaked."

Stormblood: "Eureka is a disaster and a waste of time, the Four Lords story ended with a wet fart, the MSQ is only good when we go to Othard, Shirogane housing is a nightmare, oh great another Deep Dungeon that nobody is going to do, raids are just the bosses now (borrrrinnnggg) and my favorite class has been ruined (give me back Cleric Stance Square ):<). Its all downhill from here."

Shadowbringers: "The voice acting took a nosedive, only one dungeon per patch is lazy and terrible, Bozja is just another failed Eureka with a story that gets wrapped up in text logs, the second Ultimate was delayed, Light Rampant blows, Viera and Hrothgar are undercooked (wheres male viera????), no new healer, the Nier story is incomprehensible and has no rewards, pvp sucks, classes are getting designed for casuals and time travel??? really??? Past expansions were better."

And my personal favorite:

1.0: "A jump button!!!!! you've ruined the game!"

Now this isn't to disparage or disagree with any of the complaints (except the jump button one), but I do think people should keep the past in mind when making the claim the game has reached its zenith. People said Cataclysm was going to cause WoW to die, and they were right!
