To all adventurers and pioneers!

But you are free to not do anything about it and whine on the forums as well. It's your choice.

Since when did wanting to get value for your money equate to whining? Although this post might get deleted, I'm going to speak my mind regardless. Look, it's obvious a certain (probably overwhelming) amount of our FFXI revenue is going towards improving FFXIV, and has been for quite a while now. It's blatantly obvious, anyone can see that. I'm personally totally apathetic about FFXIV as a game. But what I do care about, is my hard earned money NOT going towards the product that I'm paying for.

Let's say you're renovating your basement, how would you feel if the workers barely finished one room, then took YOUR remaining resources (that you paid for) to fix your neighbors house that they botched on the first attempt? All the while, they keep giving you the run-around saying they'll get around to you soon (but you see the freaking van parked nextdoor everyday). You'd be infuriated wouldn't you? Any sane person would.

Say what you want, but this is a terribly shady business practice, and I think lots of people are beginning to be fed up with it. I don't blame anyone for being frustrated, and I wouldn't dare have the audacity to accuse fellow patrons of "whining" for expecting an acceptable return on their investments.

Get used to the "whining". Because if SE doesn't change their philosophy on this, there's going to be plenty more in the future.
