A lot of long time players and post HW players are finally done waiting and are asking where the content is. With the combination of utter boredom that is Diadem and the new Relic weapon drops in 3.15 the game is being called "A grind reborn" and it looks like Thordin got 4 solid weeks before his drops are pointless (unless you are into vanity of course).
I'm sure I'm a terrible person for having different views than you, and "I don't play the game so I have no input". That being said I really don't need to offer any as there are plenty of current players doing so:

So yeah, most who are on reddit have no sub, hence why they can't post on the OF. Also reddit is known for being a troll station as well.
By the way, people already have their Anima weapon: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/275963-Apparently-someone-in-the-JPN-servers-has-completed-their-Animus-relic%21
Took them 3 day's of grinding. That means i'll have mine before the next patch.
Remember, your listening to cry babies. Your reading the titles and nothing else. I know because if you actually read any of them you would know that everybody else is telling the op to stop whining.
I counted 6 posts on the OF about this. Now I see stuff like this that is real positive: http://http//forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/275841-My-Most-Efficient-Least-Tedious-Method-for-Grinding-Phase-3-of-Anima-Relic
But, you wouldent know any of this as you don't play and your just listening to kids who get frustrated that they actually have to work at something in a game in a day and age where mmo's(SWTOR) can be solo'd.
Good troll bro. But using reddit does not work.
EDIT: I do have to add that Massively OP is a new site. They used to be just Massively, ya' know, owned by Joystick and AoL, till AoL sold them and they became independant.
Their new site was completely funded by users, hence why they have a "founder" next to their name. Useless information I know but, thought I would trow it out there.
Best MMO of 2015:
1. The Elder Scrolls Online -> 327 Votes (23%)
2. Final Fantasy XIV -> 303 Votes (21%)
3. Guild Wars 2 -> 157 Votes (11%)
4. Star Wars: The Old Republic -> 125 Votes (9%)
5. Marvel Heroes -> 99 Votes (7%)
Either one is a win-win for me.
However Massively still put ESO barely on the #6 spot as the best mmo of 2015, hell even behind Wildstar and WoW lol.
I mean it's fine it's there opinion but as a news site for gaming you would think they would be a little more down the middle...... Before the comment got deleted all the posters on the disqus jumped all over me because I'm a terrible person for saying they were biased..........
Oh and the results from the last year were (by MMOs that launched in 2014):
1. The Elder Scrolls Online - 21.8%
2. WildStar - 7.8%
3. Elite: Dangerous - 7.0%
4. ArcheAge - 5.7%
5. Something else - 4.1%
I guess everything up until the expac was good, though. Also, the expac does sound good until you play it yourself and see how it hurt populations, encouraged elitism through vicious dps checks, provided next to no max lvl content for the first few months, further damaged class balance, ruined questing outside of the new msq and made massive zones empty of players and details. I actually was really enjoying the msq and thought quite highly of the expac until I finished the story. Then it became a 2 dungeon lobby simulator.
Now the forum goers, they're biased as hell, I'll give you that.
From what I've seen they are simply cutting back staff (yoshi is always saying they don't have enough staff to do things people suggest now), boosting the cash shop presence and going for a min/max outlook on profits. They can afford to lose a decent amount of players as long as they cut costs enough, which is exactly what they are doing.
They are even going to continue updates on xi now, to keep that as a cash cow. So much for shutting down updates.
As for that poll, it's already been said but they are just basically a nobody website courting advertising money.

But, like you said, they don't care.
Like DrivenDawn said before, you're trying to hard.
Well our current polls which has 340 votes is showing GW2 and FF14 tied for first, with WOW and ESO as close third. So massively calling ff14 the best isn't a stretch by any means according to our own forum users.

He said that they needed at least a year to make the game the way he wanted but had only i believe was 6 months to restructure/fix whatever.I don't believe it was even 6 months i think they only spent around 3-4 months.
Personally i saw little change,few small things here and there nothing i saw would say the game changed at all from the original release.
The game itself is pretty good but also shallow at the same time.For me it takes a huge backseat to FFXI combat and class/job structure .I have no idea what kind of games these new Producer and director and whomever else is in charge of systems played but they are not on the same page as the FFXI team was.
It looked to me like they went for a WOW approach ,kept the same Avatar fights but should have went open ended and not instanced.Adding the red carpets was to make it easier,also tried to add questing and other ideas to make leveling easier,the whole WOWesque type of design.Then for me the icing on the cake ....Ilevels,the worst possible idea they could copy.Ilevels are such a cheap lazy design approach i can't believe they stooped so low.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

I can name off more that rely on, Gear Score, Item Level, Combat Rating, etc.
So, why exactly have you not complained when these other games did it. Before FF at that.
Hmmmm seems like your singling out this game, FF XIV ARR, specifically.
FF XI is a relic of a game. I can see you love it and despise XIV. Most people like to hate whats new, it's in our nature.
My opinion on XI:
Combat was shitty. I mean the worst. No way. That is why no game ever does it that way.
Character class/job were poorly optimized to hell. Dragoons in that game got known as "loldrg". Seriously?
The entire menu system is a mess. Poor character design and lifeless worlds. Today, right now, to me, it look's like a ps1 game. No dude. It had it's run and it's done. Be happy the game is even still running.
I'm just saying, you don't want to make comparisons on XI to XIV ARR. ARR will come out on top. Same with how many players are playing which game.
So in YOU'RE OPINION ONLY, the game sucks. Got it. Moving on.
