You can stop jock riding SE my guy

My intention is just to be reasonable and fair to all sides, and people are rarely fair to the developers of an MMORPG.

We've literally have had people break down WHY the 2 min meta is mathematically bad

While true, it is not the sort of thing that necessarily needs an emergency hotfix, especially when they may design content around it. It's just something they have tried this expansion and they could change their mind on for the next one. At this point I just think they should get rid of party damage buffs altogether so that no jobs are being constricted by them.

we've had people show that the GM system is failed and needs to be reworked

Failed is a big word. It works really well based on the amount of people you can meet who were visited by a GM. But it is fair to say it can be improved, since it is usually fair to say that things can be improved however good they are. It works well for dungeon incidents, not so much for problems that happen outside of them.

we literally are seeing SE show that is cannot manage itself as a company properly and lost 2 BILLION in Value

I'm not an investor. I honestly don't look at that. But I can say I am not interested in the majority of games they put out, which from a distance look like shot in the dark cashgrabs to profit from theoretically good markets, such as mobile games.

if maybe that same inability to manage themselves properly affected this game

SE themselves have made it a point to clarify that there are multiple "business units" that are somewhat independent of eachother, so although it could affect this game, for the most part all the focus goes on CBU3 specifically who mostly focus on FF11, FF14 and FF16.

no one can ever answer if they'd give any other Major Live Service game this much benefit of the doubt

The answer is yes, if they explained themselves in a reasonable way. The situations that I wouldn't is if they did not explain themselves ie. no live letters, no interviews. I try to be understanding, but if they take a stance of not explaining anything then it becomes very hard to.
