That's my point, if they wanted to do it they CAN. Money is hardly an excuse with this company when they pump out a lot of lackluster games that I'm sure cost a lot of money and effort in total.

There's no contradiction here. Maybe your own facts should clue you in on just how much it costs to make and maintain an MMO. Your facts are also out of date because that game is no longer failing miserably, and last I checked, is profitable
My information isn't out of date, I never said it is failing now but that it failed originally. Hence my next point where I used it as an example of how people (mostly sheep from WoW flocking to a game thats "popular") still subbed to XIV despite its terrible release and initial tiny playerbase when they charged for it. By your logic SE would have NEVER spend the money to redesign the game from the bottom up, instead they would continue servicing it like XI but that didn't happen.

How long do you think the game can maintain a playerbase with no content updates while they redevelop the dev hardware?
Just as long as the XIV players had to wait during 1.0? I was one of those players, hoping the game would change for the better and supporting SE. What differences does it make if people are waiting for something to come with no content updates or nothing to come with no content updates, there's still no updates.

Yeah I'll agree that the discussion is pointless, but then again so is practically any on this forum and many like it. Hopefully one of their guys sees it and passing the disdain the community has for their choice along to the DEVs, wishful thinking.
