I think it's worthwhile to engage with well thought out opinions. Unfortunately, a lot of forum regulars eventually get addicted to reactions rather than conversations. Asking if the sky is falling is a great way to score on engagement metrics, but doesn't really have enough specifics to go off in terms of discussion content.

I wouldn't know what to do with FFXIV's sales figures. I hope they do well, but it's also not my problem either way.
