- Crafting is very boring and inconsequential and a majority of players have no interest
In wasting their time crafting wherein they could be doing other more fun stuff
As far as crafting goes, this game probably has one of the better systems. For some people, it is fun. If it's not for you, don't do it.

- Worthless monster drops that give nothing but stupid crafting materials
... Welcome to MMORPGs? Or do you want the ultimate uber-sword of slaying from a random bunny mob?

- Very hard to accumulate Gil in this game because monster loot sucks.
No, it's just "very hard" when you only focus on one thing.

- Ridiculous teleportation and repair fees
They're not ridiculous. -.- It's ridiculous SE already lowered them once.

- No server transfers upon launch
There were server transfers before launch, and server transfers will be available soon. What's the big deal?

- Terrible Instance Dungeon queues in Duty Finder
For one dungeon, during peak hours, early in the week. Do something else, or stop complaining.

- No vanity/fashion items upon launch
As this doesn't affect gameplay in any way, it is low priority.

Yes, I guess I'm "white knighting," or whatever those people say.
