Patch notes!

Yeah I clicked the patch notes.. there is literally NOTHING new "content" wise.. so that's out. Secondly, the TOP priority of this game was completely ignored.. Gil Sellers will still be completely flooding EVERY channel 24/7 untouched with no way to fight back except a ridiculously over-complicated ignore function followed by an even more overcomplicated report function.

I SERIOUSLY hope a complete UI overhaul is next on the agenda.. cause FFXIV's user interface is one of the worst I have EVER encountered in my 15+ years of MMO gaming.

At the moment they just want to fix it so everyone can get into the game. I have no doubt that Gil sellers are near the top of the list if not on the top already. Ul'dah is getting worse every day on my server. Now they only have the same bot up for an hour before they delete it and send in a new one to get around my blacklist. I honestly am concerned about it. But I also know SE is working on it. They are working 24 7 to fix things. Its coming just not this patch.

Believe me bro, more then ANYTHING, I want this game to succeed.. I love it. I suppose in a sense that is WHY im so angry about it. NOBODY here... (and I do mean NOBODY.) can say they did NOT see this one coming. Gold Spammers are the bane of EVERY MMO released for.. well.. since they first got started. Not only did FFXIV completely IGNORE them.. they've DEALT with them before!!! FFXI *had* gil sellers.. so it's literally something they've had to confront on at LEAST 1 prior occasion.

It's getting so bad I dont even go into town anymore.. and the gil sellers are already accounting for that, as they now are parking spam bots in almost EVERY town on the map.

I guess it's just frustrating to see a 12 hour downtime.. and all they do is a 27mb patch that doesnt address what has to me (IMHO) the community's primary concern.

Man take a chill pill and disable general chat for the the time being. Join a linkshell and or a FC and u wont see any spam at all.Eventually this will be addressed and i reckon server stability, people to be able to login or even purchase and play the game are top priorities for the moment. Its not like they got a magic wand and stuff gets fixed. I couldnt even go to an instancewith my FC group this past week due to ridiculous DF queues reserving an instance. Now thats gamebreaking which they fixed. So give them some credit and w8 a while longer.
