Is 1.18 the final straw?

When is this patch releasing? I'm so sick of XIV. There's nothing to do and it runs pretty badly unless you close all your other stuff and play it on full screen if you don't have a high range video card.
Currently all you do is pretty much grind leves and level jobs even though the job system and ability tree is going to totally change (not to mention cross class skills and so on).

And it feels like a million years since the last patch. Because lets face it, that last 17.b or whatever was no patch.

When is this patch releasing?

Middle of the month at earliest. We haven't really had much communication in the past few weeks so I'm hoping they're working hard on getting it done by then.
