I rly wonder what game you're playing if you think that the quality hasn't gone up too.

This forum is just overly negative all the time, people always talk about toxic positivity but tbh this forum is toxic negativity incarnate and it's mainly the same people running rampant and who are ultimately for the most part mad about minor things in the grand scheme of things.
The forums don't really represent the general view of the game at all.



This was about FFXIV, there is no evidence at all that FFXIV is suffering or is going to suffer because of what other branches of SE does.
Yoshi P also has an abnormal amount of control over the game too.
Their Western studios have been doing rly poorly too.
Back when WoW started to fall apart there was always a number of really vocal people who sounded just like you swearing up and down that "this is fine" while the proverbial house was on fire. As people started to leave the game there was less and less counter to those voices which just helped to reinforce the idea that nothing was wrong. Now here we are 10 years later, with that company struggling just to keep the game from collapsing. Keep your head in the sand if you want, but there are those of us who greatly desire for this game to succeed. Partly because we love the game and it's universe, and partly because there's nowhere else to go.

Seeing a lot of the same mistakes being made by this team just in the past year doesn't exactly do wonders to assuage any of these concerns. If these guys don't seriously step up their game over the next year, not only will they likely lose a significant chunk of their gains from WoW but they may also start losing loyal fans.
