Yes the problem is you.

If XIV was a clone of XI, and added an update with bad items, you'd say "This update sucks, it is not worth going for the items".
If XIV was a clone of XI, and added an update with good items, you'd say "This update sucks, it made all my invested time pointless by replacing my items with new ones".
If XIV was a clone of XI, and never updated, you'd say "This game sucks, I've done everything and there is nothing to do".
