Is there a future?

I think the question is can FFXI survive 6 months it takes to release SoA.

I've stopped automatically renewing my account simply cause there isn't enough content so at the end of every month i don't play for 1-3 weeks saving me a few £.

My issues are these....

payed for 3 months (£30) then got new content that was for 15 min every 20 hours (RIP OFF!)
SE now wants to fix the game it broke in and in a quick half assed way when it should either commit to fixing it completely or just make content easier and focus on the social and fun side of the game instead.
SE wants to add small pieces of 18+ pple content when most of the game is 3-12 pple making organizing such content a huge pain.
Finally, they treat everyone one the EN forums like we played content for 10 mins half drunk and they know better (at least this is how i feel)

Just wanna say this doesn't include the community team since i know they try there best and i'm sure have to follow a strict set of rules it's the producer/devs which are annoying me.

FFXI - 2012 has felt like the year of "lets make a little content as possible so we can make money from the subscribers".

All of above is just how i feel nothing more.

While i hope for SoA i do know all it is an idea they had "why make content from just what people pay every month, when we could call new content a expansion and charge more money for it."

As for the blinker thing, it should of been done ages ago when the commuity were making topics telling SE about not some ninja nerf which hurts they paying customers in the crusade against RMT.
