I hate Square so much right now...

I'm doing a lot better now. Everything is (mostly) working and I found a linkshell to answer my newbie questions. I still think the game is in dire need of updating though. How did these problems last a decade without being patched?

A wild account management appears! You are defeated.

Your rant is relevant, but you have to remember that this game is over 10 years old. It performs exactly how you would expect it to when you consider that fact.

The point of an MMO is that they patch. That's supposed to be what the subscription pays for. And for the record documentation, labeling things consistently and such did exist 10 years ago. When you e-mail someone a code the e-mail should tell them where to enter it. When the game uses a certain name for something in account management then account management should use the same name. Neither English or common sense were invented less than a decade ago.

lol, these are pretty amateur errors on your part, well bar the slow downloading/corrupt game.

Expecting it to work like the dozens of other MMOs i've played is an amateur mistake?
