    I think it is rather hard to determine an answer to the thread's premise since there is a considerable divide in players and what they do inside of FFXIV. I typically am more critical of how the community conducts when it comes to a question like this and, depending on how you view the proliferation of venues and ToS breaking things, will likely determine how one will view the game's state. Some could also argue the devs are listening too much and are designing content around a specific subset of people, which can cause that group to have more blame than others, which at the end of the day is what the devs thought was acceptable inside of the game.

    I think the lackluster MSQ is causing people to peel back some of the layers of the game a bit to see other flaws the game has now that the wool has been removed from the eyes, which is why there is an uptick in criticism against the game as a whole.

    So, forums are not a representative sample at all, since they are always skewed towards the "unhappy" side.
    I didn't realize StrikerGPT was made available to the public...

    I have no clue what that is supposed to mean but it is common knowledge that customers rather utter grievances than compliments, not just in gaming.

    If you consider my writing style weird, keep in mind that I am not an English native.

    I am not poking any fun at your English (I wouldn't have been able to identify you are not a native English speaker if you didn't tell me), it is more just the content of what I quoted sounds an awful lot like someone else here who tends to be obsessed with majorities and the like. If you thought I was poking fun at your English, I apologize as that was not the intention.

    Oh I am well aware of this. We are on the forums after all so we all had to buy the game at some point and I have seen it in other media, not exclusive to FFXIV and that I am much more in the mood to leave a bad review on something I paid for versus a good review, regardless of what that thing is.

    You're fine, I assume she's implying that your posting resembles Striker44 (sp?) a known poster who generally is positive and doesn't shy away from arguing with people who lean more towards negative opinions.

    If someone has to resort to belittling you when you're trying to have a discussion with them, their opinion is generally not worth your time.
