I am a realist, as much as I love certain aspects of FFXI, I can see shit no matter how you polish the turd.
Wings certainly wasn't the best expansion, but it was still a good additon to the game. The story line is nice and I liked campaign as well. What it didn't do, was offer a lot of compelling reasons to be there like a new kind of endgame or better reasons to explore the zones. As for your polished turd point, I see the exact same here. FFXIV is not a bad game, I can admit that, but it is packed full of a ton of problems and unappealing features... I mean 85% of the zones were dead here too until they forced everyone to go back for relic upgrades and hunts.
