There are now 730 posts in this thread. 710 of them are not from OP. It's sad to see someone like Arthars raid the official forums just to take down one (1) person he doesn't like. Hundreds of people against one. Why is Final Fantasy XIV like this?

Obviously content creators made this post kinda "famous".

But people were already disagreeing with OP in the first place and the post had already some traction before.

Also, unlike some of your comments, new players are welcome to the game, even if they skip. All is about attitude. That's also why people got hostile towards OP. If they're willing to learn and take advice, all is good ! If they're getting defensive like OP "I've played this game for 6 years !", obviously people are not gonna be patient with them.

New players are fine, FFXIV won't die because of the shift of combat design. FFXIV, as an online game, needs to change and develop itself. Not stalling the same formula again and again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The change in boss design (and not game design unlike what you said earlier, or even fundamentals, because fundamentals are the same as before) is in a decent place right now without pushing too much the old engine and being overly difficult for your average casual player.
