You can make everyone happy--- if you actrually try

[Supersnow845]

This is what I saw when I read OP.

There are people who cannot articulate what it is they want. Or if they do say exactly what it is they want, they are describing a completely different game, and I wonder why the hell they're playing XIV and not playing that other game instead.

Other games exist! If XIV doesn't make you happy, you can go play them! If you are burnt out, you can do something different! Stop playing a game that doesn't spark joy!

Your criticisms of XIV can be valid, but as long as you're still playing and throwing your money at SE, they won't change anything.

Is “I want what 14 used to be” wanting a different game because genuinely a return to SB on almost every front except maybe MSQ production value would be an improvement for me. I don’t remember being polled on if I wanted to go in the current direction
