    It's the easiest way to diminish and brush aside criticism.

    "We got this one random death threat" from a clearly unhinged person who has zero way to actually carry it out. But because of that, all the criticism of the last month won't be looked it.

    Happens all the time, it's a typical PR move.

    Find the one worst thing you can find to put the focus on that and ignore every other valid criticism.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Very true. Also at risk of sounding a little callous, I don't think some random naming their listing on PF "death to the devs that have ruined this game" or something really counts as a "death threat". Maybe that's just me but I only really consider things death threats if like... the names of family members or addresses of the people you're threatening are involved or something. It's still gross to do, of course, but calling things like that "death threats" is a bit of a stretch, and you probably shouldn't invoke the extreme negative connotations of those words to try and make things that aren't super serious seem like bigger deals than they are, then the words just lose all meaning.
