I felt this.
But isn't the OP a known troll?
Also, I think they're trying to get at the point that they feel that FFXIV isn't a MMO but a single player game, cause they're one of those people.

Cool bit of trivia, EQ1 used an interval to save your data (it worked even if you DC'd as your "character" was still in memory). However, if the server was brought down (or crashed in rare cases) everything you did during the interval (experience, items acquired, money acquired) got rolled back. However, item transfer caused a forced saved. IE, trade an item or some money to a friend and both your character's states got saved. So when the server was coming down for maintenance, trade someone a copper piece to insure you don't get rolled back if you decided to keep leveling right up to the last minute.
Are we back in the early 2000s?
your consantly saving every moment your in game, since this is an MMORPG everything you do will be saved for the next time you log in.
