In fact the term can be traced back to Steam engine engineers that sometimes had to work on they engines while they were running hence HOT.. It have since been picked up in Software slang as well and here is the definition of it.
"A hotfix is a change made to the program deemed critical enough that it cannot be held off until a regular content patch. Hotfixes require only a server-side change with no download and can be implemented with no downtime, or a short restart of the realms."

How about you put your nonsensical rage aside and listen to what people have to say for once?

Your posts have been pure tribal war lately. It's like if you are not one of us, you are my enemy.

If someone were to complain XIV has bad rng gear upgrade system with Korean + value style, she would agree and attacking anyone saying it doesn't exist in XIV.

If you like OPs definition of hotfixes so much go play WoW, that's where it comes from. No need to stay here if there are greener pastures for you!

Hot fix is all from something that can be fixed when the server is live and running and sometimes it requires a restart, so people can't keep using eg. an exploit.

Why post this?

"DAE GO BACK TO WOW?"

Literally every live service dev uses hotfix the same way: applying a update without downtime / just a quick server restart. Obviously if you only played FF14 for the past 10 years you wouldnt know that.

Dont mind Ranaku I think the few years they had in FF made them lose the remaining few braincells they had, when I said that the maintenance times were terrible, they also responded to me "just play wow since it's better" even tho I hadnt even mentioned wow

World of warcraft really living rent free in people's heads lmao

Okay then. Hope you stay mad and salty forever.

There should be a godwin's law for how long it will take for people to start arguing about the same things they always argue about no matter the initial post put forward by an OP.
