Wow the devs are pretty damn clueless. FFXI in its current state should not have long, strenuous, time sink trials that benefit one person. They really just don't get it.

Also, an update is supposed to be an update. Gimping the hell out of everything and upgrading (very minuscule upgrades) stupid abilities that go unused is not an update. Players should be saying "Oh cool something new!" instead of "Oh god please don't gimp anything...".

Anyways, I hear SWTOR is great btw.
