>DT's writing and one character in particular are so bad that Square-Enix is hemorrhaging subscriptions
>North American GMs haven't changed a whit in years, still suspending and banning accounts for the slightest infraction, as if the aforementioned hemorrhaging wasn't an issue
>GMs have been so bad that many players (even as far back as 2021) have basically taken a vow of silence and have sworn off ever using the chat box out of fear of getting suspended or worse. Everyone either uses Discord and Linkshells exclusively now thanks to the dystopian nightmare known as the ToS and it's rigid enforcement
>Year of our Lord 2025, and Viera and Hrothgar can only wear a fraction of the headgear all the other races can. But don't worry, we have chat bubbles now. That's definitely more important.
>Endgame revolves so singularly around savage raids that if your home DC isn't Aether, you are fucked. Same goes for whatever respective raiding DC is in Europe or Japan. This has created a very imbalanced population across DCs for every region across the globe.
Square-Enix only has themselves to blame. This is entirely on them, on Yoshi P, on Hiroi, and on Kate.
