Discuss : is ffxiv in trouble

Because, "qui tacet consentire videtur - he who is silent is taken to agree". They are speaking their minds, through their silence. It's called the silence procedure.

People without complaints, are happy with things as they are, they don't have a reason to complain. It doesn't matter if you see it as a negative, it's a commonly understood principle, even with legislations and diplomacy.


This is a silly argument to hold. The company isn't going to make big changes to the game to keep the vocal minority happy. If they did, they'd risk alienating the majority, losing subscriptions and money, and possibly having to rollback those changes anyway, wasting time and resources. If something's not broken, you don't fix it, is the safer option.

When enough people complain, thus becoming the majority, that's when changes come.

Just because someone is silent does not mean they are taken to agree, there is such things as civil unrest for a reason...that is a bad assumption and why many of wars have started lel.
And I don't want the forums to be a vocal minority either, that is why you play with the hornets nest...if it attacks you, you know you've done wrong...

Edit: Plus you can't technically use that argument if people are still posting on the forums their distaste, because it refutes that it truly is "silent". Unless you assume the forum doesn't share the opinions of some of the full "silent" majority, then you are bad actor, because statistically that is very improbable.
