No. The FF14 devs only listen to the forums. The forums are inhabited by and large by some of the most entitled and awful players in this game. I don't use reddit, I'm just tired of my voice, of the voice of basically the entire damn playerbase being overshadowed by the loudest and whiniest voices. If this is where I have to go to be heard then I go here. The healer strike was bad enough, but I didn't make an account for that because I genuinely didn't see that going anywhere. This topic on the other hand is extremely important to me.

I've had to deal with absolutely brainmelting trivial content when doing non-endgame stuff for two expansions. I've seen jobs gradually have identity and complexity eroded from them. I've seen the fruits of this forum's complaints manifest in the degradation of this game for multiple expansions. I've had friends quit because they just can't deal with another expansion of falling asleep while playing. These aren't toxic turbo hardcore players either. These are players who play for the MSQ and normal raids and alliance raids and that's it.

We FINALLY have a step in the right direction and we have the forums complaining and demanding SE backpedal. So I'm finally speaking up. You aren't being raided. Your expansions worth of monopoly over getting to say how the game goes is ending.
