Square Enix has given up on real gameplay

Yoshi himself even says the current PL system is broken, and it was never his intention to let someone get PL'd to 50 in a day. Instead he wants it to take a FEW days :P Which, to me, isn't much different. I would say that I wish he would just let people heal others outside of party and thats it, but then I would be flamed for being a FFXI fanboy even though that solution would CLEARLY be better for just about everyone that hates the current PL system. I just want to take the time to state that I think we are in this position because people kept crying they didn't want a FFXI clone and in an attempt to seperate itself from one of the biggest complaints about FFXI (the grind) we got this steaming turd of a PL system. Well, this definitly isn't XI. Hope everyone enjoys!
