Wow.... Rewind a couple months, and everyone was excited. A chance to add our support in the process of choosing a new jug pet. <Thinks to self> "Wow SE seems to be listening to us more lately. They seem to be taking a genuine interest in the game as a whole, and what we want out of it."

Then came the vote debacle.... and the subsequent no explanation.. just ignore everyone routine..

Now this info on the jugs we ARE getting... quite disappointing.

I never had any intention of leaving for 14 even if it had a solid launch...which it didn't obviously.

I had no interest in starting over from scratch after 8 years.

Someone in upper management at SE needs to understand that 11 is in desperate need of additional development staff. I get it. The game is 10 years old. However, the amount of work the small dev team is being asked to cope with is unacceptable.

I appreciate the work being done to old content. I like old content. I like VW also, but lets be real. After doing each VW fight a few times it becomes work. Mainly because the drop rates are laughable, and someone's mule gets the rare piece of gear three fights in a row.

The game is MISSING the "competitive edge" That is what allowed HNM to be entertaining for so long. The fights were repetitive. They were simple, but you got to compete. Searching for DI/SW was fun against rival LS's. Reintroduce some 99 HNM's. Revamp, and centralize PvP in a hub area *cough* White Gate *cough* . It will PAY DIVIDENDS. We're in desperate need of a break from the relentless grinding of AF3, Empies, VW, WOE.. grind grind grind I say!

If SE is pennywise, and pound foolish they will have two problems. FF14 is busted, and never going to be what they had hoped for b4 launch no matter what is done to it. If 11 doesn't get some serious attention it will continue to dwindle away (unnecessarily) to the point where it is not worth updating.

For the people on the fence about staying with 11 because they are no longer enjoying themselves. How many do you think will transition to 14 after they have seen what's become of it's predecessor? "Hmmm.. should I invest my time into a failed launch shaky product thats manufacturer has a track record of ceasing to care about their MMO's after 8 or so years?"
