Also since when has XIV ever been unplayable and where/how would that ever happen in this game? Just wondering
They clearly don't value midcore players, or people that do want to play an actual MMORPG. What makes you think console players are any different? And I don't mean that game right now is unplayable, but if the game goes in this direction and 7.0 will have new start, with current cadence of content? Then yes, there will be not many things to do, especially for midcore players, so community will be divided even more into Limsa Dwellers and raiders, without anything in between.

I see that him saying the most bland, obvious thing anyone with common sense could come up with, but ending up treated as some prophet, is still his thing. Unless he starts to speak about real life things of course, then it goes full 180.
