How to Restore Confidence in FFXIV

Yes. The vocal minority give feedback and care about the game and the silent majority quit without feedback, continue their lives and never look at the game again.

The vocal minority are all the developers have to know what would interest the silent leavers and a certain group of players do their best to silence them. Guess which group is better for the health of the product?

Yes, it's a product and SE are a company. Bland praise like they're a single fragile person who needs a confidence boost is entirely worthless.

I feel like a lot of the feedback here also comes from a band of fragile people looking for some sort of commendation for their efforts.

Proper feedback is good. Doom and gloom without anything constructive when the status quo seemingly remains unchanged for a period of time isn’t. The latter seems to be the case on these forums when the whine posts sprout upon the smallest hint of a content lull. These are just memes.

Edit: Most critical topics start with a few posts with improvement suggestions, then the "EW was great! You all doom & gloom ****!" crowd walks in. Imho
