There has not been a single major patch without a critical issue since Endwalker.

Why does the fanbase need to act as the devs emotional support buddies? We consume a product they produce, and we are to hold them to a standard. So some people get mad, and they might say MeAn WoRdS oN ThE InTeRnEt, but so what? Is the content of what they're saying invalidated because it isn't super nice and polite? If you were in a relationship (in any relation) and you had to "watch your words" and walk on eggshells to avoid the other party ignoring you, that's definitely not a nice relationship to be in.

On the other hand, a relationship (in any relation) isn't really worth indulging in if the other party is rude and disrespectful on a regular basis. The content of what is said isn't immediately invalidated no, but in any circumstances, it isn't going to be given the proper attention if said content is largely vitriolic nonsense.

Say what you don't like, and why you don't like it. If it gets addressed, great, if not and the dislike is continual then it stands that the direction of the game just simply doesn't align according to their interests anymore. Ultimately, it is within the developers' hands to choose the direction of the game. I can certainly say that if you being polite, consistent, and providing at least some insight doesn't change the direction then being rude about the matter certainly wouldn't.

I have a severe distaste for the direction of crafting in this game, for example, as I am certain many have equally vented about, be it on these forums, on Reddit, or on Discord. The solution to that was Firmament which is largely temporal content. So I've taken it for granted that the game's direction for crafting just doesn't align with my interests. This is to say in this regard an alignment towards a casual engagement, as opposed to something that required ongoing investment (Basically HW).

I can say that the very original post in this threat served no other purpose than to complain for the sake of it and to inflame.
