To be honest, I'd rather see SE stop making gradual improvements and devote most of the resource to some ground-breaking changes that will make FF14 like a new game. What they should do is to stop doing these updates, hack up a prototype and make a super cool video that show us HOPE....and "re-launch" FF14 6 months later or something. Time is running out, nobody wants to wait indefinitely even though there is no monthly fee now.

Btw, has anyone tried Rift? I looked at it but it doesn't look interesting to me at all, perhaps I didn't look hard enough :P
