That you believe SE owes the players, which have made the company the success it is today absolutely nothing is ridiculous and just plain sad.
Believe it or not FFXI has been the sum of the entire final fantasy series in regards to MMO's. MMO's are much more coding intensive than console games. Scripting an entire mount system, physics, animations and skinning over a persistent world on a hardware server takes twice as long as coding it onto a disc. Considering that the dev team has been a failure for the last year or two, the company has lost numerous amounts of resources right in the middle of XIV development and the fact that they are rebuilding most of the core features from the ground up gives me enough rationality to see why they would be put in late.

FFXIV will be part of the 90% FF titles with chocobos. The XIV Dev team will not bend its prioritization on your incessant QQing over x and y. They will develop and release on the time schedule they have planned and they will get the game in am enjoyable state sooner rather than later.
