Troll or not, there is a pretty big point here. FFXIV is already very unpopular among the general gaming community. For specifically MMO players, it is a controversial topic. I think anyone who is interested in playing it is either currently playing, or keeping an eye out for when things get fixed. I doubt many brand-new players will emerge.

The longer it takes, the more distractions there are for those getting fed-up with the system as is.
