The slow decline of FFXIV, a summary.

[Daralii]

step 1: make content to elicit reactions
step 2: get reactions the content was created to elicit

That's why society is literally falling apart at the seams for "eNgAgEmEnT". If I make a video stating something easily disprovable and then add "I bet someone will answer in the comment section showing me how I was wrong", the chances are very high that someone will indeed comment and how how I was wrong. That doesn't mean my initially untrue statement wasn't untrue. It's up to YOU to actually have some quality standards in the way you conduct yourself, and in the media you consume.

How do you easily disprove that XIV is declining when there's no publicly available data, official or unofficial, to the contrary?
