Thus, it stands to reason that it's certainly not enough of a problem to get other people to quit playing the game, though clearly what all the OPs want is for some critical mass of people who aren't them to cancel their subscriptions, (magically) resulting in their issue of choice being addressed.
I mean, the OP of this very thread just admitted, "Nope, haven't stopped, I'll stop after one more boss, I swear." One more smoke. One more drink. One more hand of blackjack. One more boss. I swear.
If the Viera/Hrothgar issue is that big of a deal to you, put your money where your mouth is, unsubscribe from the game, and just check back in once a month or so to see if they've resolved it. I unsub from FFXIV all the time when I'm not playing. The first time you do it, you have like two days where you're thinking, "oh no, I'm not doing this daily, or capping tomestones, or reclearing this fight, or progging this other fight," or whatever, and then you pretty much immediately stop caring. It's very freeing. Stop spending money to let computer-generated-bunny-person rendering shortcomings plague your daily thoughts.
