thank you se for makeing 14 a better game "please no negative feed back"

I wanted to write a letter to the Development team, and write a thank you letter to the entire group. I know the FFXIV team has a lot of work ahead of them, but I see their hard work is paying off for me and many players. To the development team, please do not listen to the negativity, focus on making the game as great as you know you will make the game, and the players will support you as best we can. Thank you!

Depends on what you define as negativity. Telling SE that they suck and ARR will fail obviously doesn't help, but telling them that a certain piece of content is bad, even in a mean way, helps more than just telling them they're doing a good job.

I think one has to differntiate between constructive feedback and negative "doomsaying" (is that a word? I just know the word "doomsayer" so I derived that from it :P ).
While I'm all the way for feedback and constructive criticism (at Gamescom they asked us to give us as much feedback as we can!) I'm not for talking the game "down" based upon assumtions or displeasure (maybe from the point of view of press writers).
Let's stay in the present, give feedback on everything we can and wait how the game will look when it's approaching its final phase.

So, to SE: Please take our feedback serious and thanks for listening to it! But don't let any bad spirit that people might spread about you pull you down! You've done a great job so far, team Yoshi!
