Discuss : is ffxiv in trouble

[Katish]

That's not for me to say. I'm not making any claims if the game is good or bad.

I'm saying, anybody who listens to the complaints of the minority, risks alienating the majority who're happy with the status quo, and risks causing serious issues for themselves.

If the forum's complaints are really shared by the rest (we've no data for that one way or the other), and enough people began complaining, such that they became the majority, the company would then make changes. They've done so in the past.

That is hard to say if the later is even true, male Viera was only brought about after the forum took to the hills and went 400+ pages on it... lel
But it's hard to gauge opinion when a topic is more nuanced...and when it does not reflect everyone's opinions because someone just does not care because of "X"...like healers for example.
For example, Tanks and DPS jobs do not care what happens to the healer role as it does not affect their own game play to engage enough with these forums so the overall turnout is lower (I still do believe they reflect a good majority of the player base though, it just does not see as much light).

I appreciate this discussion though, thank you, it definitely is food for thought.
