I didn't think you would be one of those bitter players that would bash a game just because you quit it. The last year was pretty crappy all around, there are no doubts about that, but laughing off the changes that have happened and are coming is utterly ridiculous and completely fan boyish.
I also didn't think you were one of those Dead Game --> people either. You know as well as anyone the type of person that plays FFXI, you were one of them. You know it isn't going to die for a long time, and the stream of people coming back to the game since these announcement has made people question the server mergers themselves (though it could be said that maybe the servers needed to be merged a long time ago /shrug).
To me, the coming changes to FFXI are nothing more than bright shiny objects for most people. The real meat of the changes are the meta-comments the development team made about the focus of the game moving in the direction of end-game and that kind of play style. I would suggest you actually take a look at all of the information, and not just making judgments based on quips.
I always thought you were a cynical cry baby, but I at least respected your opinion on things because you were thorough. I am not saying you should come back to FFXI at all, I am just saying you should be honest in your statements about FFXI instead of just being a ditto-head WoW fan boi.

Aw, man, I'll bite.
It's interesting that you call him a WoW fanboy considering you took the time to come to his LJ and defend FFXI, a game which truely needs a forum defense task force. I enjoyed FFXI, even when I knew it was a poorly designed game. As you said, it takes a very specific type of person to enjoy it. That doesn't change the fact that it's bad. It also doesn't mean he can't be critical of it.
Cynical crybaby? Are you kidding? This man put up with so much shit. Hell, he even got his Spharai! He invested so much into a game that was run into the ground by it's developers. If he is being cynical, he has earned the right to it. He held on so long and SE spit right in his face. So he moved on. Sorry that upsets you so damn much.
