Wow.. let me just get this out of the way first.
1. Jumping - The problem that some have with jumping has absolutely nothing to do with Final Fantasy 11 not having it or the fact that World of Warcraft does have it.. the problem, and it's rather reasonable, is that some don't want to see other players needlessly jumping around.. it can become rather annoying honestly. I don't think anyone is outright against the idea of jumping.. just the way that some people use it.
2. Grass and other background graphics - You might see it as knit-picking but some judge a game by it's graphics alone. So to those people it's hardly knit-picking.
3. Backpedaling and Strafing - Is it wrong that some people want their movements to be more fluid?
4. Regional Servers - Some people want a diverse group of players in their game. They want to play in a game where the world is always alive and doesn't die between the hours of 12 to 6 AM.
5. Faster Battle Pace - There are those who actually like a more slow and strategic pace. You're right though.. they don't want it to become a spam fest.. what's wrong with that?
6. Removal of character animation - What exactly is wrong with people wanting those animations in ARR?
7. Questing as a form of EXP - A lot of people don't like quest based leveling because it's been done to death and hasn't changed, it can't really change to be honest either.. grouping with other players does help you learn how to better play your job and it also does fosters a sense of community as opposed to doing things on your own.
8. Quest tracker and helper - I don't think anyone has a problem with an actual quest tracker. They just don't like the fact that every aspect of questing is presented to you. Big marks over peoples heads.. showing you the exact place you need to be.. being able to see the quests you have out has never been a problem for anyone I believe.
9. Cross Server Content Finder - I believe the problem that a lot of people have with this is more so about community. It's harder to build a community with cross server content finders.
10 . Gay Marriage - So.. sense when has gay marriage became a thing with 11 players?
I hate the word rage.. and I hate the fact that you use it so much. You use it in a way to try and devalue the reasons that have been made in any of the 10 issues you've listed. Calling it rage is tantamount to labeling what you think as worthless opinion as white noise.
Also I find your detest for anyone whose only played FF kind of disturbing. But guess what.. it's not just FF players who think like this. It's a wide range of people who are tired of the way that MMOs have become and people who just want THIS game to be the best that it can be.
