Then we get to the healer problems, the gutting, the lack of engagement even after 6 years, then we get to the new hrothgar hairs that players have been waiting patiently for 3 years and theyre such a shit show even the devs were laughing about it on stream. Then to the just, overall treatment of both limited races and the lack of headgear etc,i mean viera can’t even wear the new pvp helmet. How are you gonna lock an entire set behind a pretty hefty grind, and then not make it fully accessible to an entire race. Then now we get to the housing problems. It’s starting to boil over, the game is making record profits, it set record player count, yet we’re seeing less and less quality as the expansion goes on, we’re seeing devs laughing at things that…it’s just plain disrespectful. It truly does seem like they don’t care at this point.
Yeah because I guess them saying they've had difficulty acquiring servers months prior isn't good enough. They had just pop them out of thin air because "rich corpo". Again that's not how that works and they've been VERY open about that fact yet you'd call them greedy.
Far as the new races go I've said it before that they need work. There's no refuting that. But it's literally a helmet. I'll take the loses (for now) and be glad at least most of the set can be worn. Idk what's going on behind the scenes that makes those races hard to work with so I'm not gonna hope on the hate train and judge.
SE handles the money, not Yoshi P. If xiv isn't getting the funding it needs it isn't his fault. And you speak of quality yet the story and content we've gotten has all been just that. Housing? That's a blip for sure, but again human error is a concept. The devs aren't machines. They're people who make mistakes. But again that's not good enough.
Classes being gutted. I'll admit I'm not a fan of this. But I also don't think its the end of the world like many others. It's very clear they want to lower the bar of entry with classes to appeal to the masses. I can't exactly fault them for that.

All in all you're taking this personally when you don't need to and painting the game in a far worse light than it really is in imo
