We all see how purely instanced content is doing for FFXIV. It truly is thriving, is it not? The results of a player poll taken during a period of time unto which the total player population was under 5000 seems relatively irrelevant right now.
As for your "1.)" I'm glad that you know the will of Square-Enix, and have the ability to answer for them. Seems a little strange to avoid touching a topic that has obviously drawn alot of attention, but I never expected them to answer. I hope they will though.
As for your "2.)" They don't need to "look" at it right now. When i say look at it, I mean implement it. We all know something of this nature won't come until post 2.0. Simply judging off how absolutely barren this game is at the time being in terms on content, ignoring this kind of content would be well... ill-advised? (this is my
opinion)
And my breath isn't held at all! I just hope SE will implement some ideas that might capture the hearts of people who loved their prior MMO. And if not? That's fine as well, I will happily take my business elsewhere and find a new MMO to play
But I loved FFXI, and I want to eventually love FFXIV. Hopefully Squeenix pulls though for us.
