A new tactic for the dissatisfied

[NekoMataMata]

Then why do we have a feedback forum? You act like XIV has never changed before. The changes from 1.0 to 2.0 where significant, as were the changes from 4.0 to 5.0. Change happens all the time. Your premise is kinda flawed.

Is it? Correlation does not equal causation. Just because the changes occur does not mean that they were specifically from anyone's feedback.

As for why we have a feedback forum, there's multiple answers. All I'll say is that you should look closely at the state of the forums, and tell me if you think that they're anything but a formality currently.

Considering it's what happened to WoW and a number of other MMOs that had to massively course correct after they started bleeding progressively more players due to ignoring negative feedback, I feel like it's inevitably going to repeat itself here.

Regardless, I'd still rather continue giving feedback as the content comes in a vain hope they might actually listen.

Why not just rip the band-aid off? Do it and get it all over with? If you think that it's the inevitable then why not push for it to occur faster instead of letting it happen slowly and more painfully?

The dissatisfied are the severe minority. They think that they're bigger than they are, as they cannot fathom that most players are happy with the game.

I can't answer whether they are or aren't the minority. I don't have the stats to determine that, nor does anyone on these forums really. All I'm doing is giving advice.
