I can't count the number of time's I've read this exact line of commentary on GAF, on LS boards, and on the official forums over the past few years, because the dev team decided to take a hard line on something the poster doesn't like, who then assumes the community at large reflects his/her extreme line of thinking on the topic.
It's shallow, hollow hyperbole. S-E hasn't suddenly become deaf to community input, and a MMO that allows consumer decisions to always take priority might as well have zero vision. They are not always going to listen, and it is not always in their best interest to listen, full stop.
Also FWIW, full i90 SCH/MNK here, allagan weapons on both classes, weekly Twin clears, etc etc... I haven't touched the DoL/DoH crafting professions in months. I think the only one I even have at 50 is FSH.
