Also there is a clear difference between somebody enjoying the game but still heavily criticize it and negative andies who express their distaste over the game and do nothing but doomsaying and finding an ultimatum but never following through it.

I still think there's more positive that negative with this game. If what I've seen from other MMOs currently with better retention content is that what people ask for is not the solution. Heck we already have an example with the new Deep Dungeon. A piece of content people have been asking for since its absence in Shb and they made a new one and it's already dead.

I bet the exploratory zone andies the same thing will happen when they do a new exploratory zone in 7.0 and people fall off from it within a few weeks or so. Can't also ignore how commonly the content was criticized and the reception to it was unfavorable during Sb and Shb but now thY we don't have it, all of a sudden people are clamoring for its return? Get real.

But yes the rewards for criterion and savage are just a huge mess of why's and the relic step being the same exact thing is just ugh.

At least Blue Mage is still good. I'm happy they still kept with its job questline btw.
