You're right. You will see repeat faces in the forums as we're a minority of the players in the game. That being said, no FF14 expansion has recieved as low of review scores as this one. No FFXIV expansion has taken this much heat, been regarded by so much of the community as a failure. If you wish to disregard the opinions of those on the forum that's honestly valid: we're a minority. You can instead direct your attention to the User Reviews on Steam, or even the meta critic User reviews.

I don't feel a need to try to impress upon CBU3 how bad this was, as I see all the evidence necessary to tell me that Square Enix is losing face and money alike on this expansion. I don't need forums to tell me that, there are numbers that tell me that. In the event those were not enough I can check Squenix's stock prices.

Regardless of what you or I think, the message is resoundingly far more negative than any other expansion, and it's going to kick CBU3 in the pants. That is to say, in the money, and losing money is the only review that really matters at the end of the day for them.
I wonder about this. Player activity is still pretty high in lieu of everyone doing the new raid. It might fizzle soon. But if it doesn't... What kind of message would Creative Studio (guys they're not "CBU" anymore) 3 get from it? That the quality of the MSQ is irrelevant for player retention?

I'm very curious if this might end up being the conclusion.
