I do show my appreciation when it's earned, but I'd like to think my monthly subscription in itself is a perfect demonstration of my gratitude and love for the game... I hope the developers know that at least.

I know the forums are usually full of negative comments and sometimes people may come across harsh, but it all comes from a loving place. We are here because we care about the state of the game and wish to see it thrive, while continuing to see QoL improvements and high quality patches that reflect the playerbase FFXIV has.
