...because basically this is what "poor implementations" (read: disappointments) usually come down to: arbitrary gating and/or their hardware limitations. And for someone loving this game and being passionate about it, it's worrying as ××××.
It's hard for me to even read dumb replies like this.

1. How can you justify your feeling being ignored? We get PLENTY of updates from the developers. They have very active social media, they're very active on the forums, we get live letters. The LEAD DEVELOPER of the team, within 24 hours of 2.38 going live, replied in ALL languages to your qualms about the housing system. So, in short, if you think you're being "ignored" your standards of developer communication are WAY TOO HIGH.

2. You've complained about gil sinks, RNG, and time sinks as if they're out of place in an MMORPG. Players have absurd standards of what content should be in an MMORPG now a days. MMORPGs are BASED around currency sinks, time sinks and RNG.

Do you honestly think that hardware limitations are something new in MMORPGs? The FFXIV team is just a lot more transparent about where their hardware limitations lie.

Individually, I want to talk about each of your little bullets, (good luck pugging anything beyond garuda extreme? I've gotten EVERY single one of my EX wins in a pug, from Ifrit to Ramuh, I've never had a static anything for Extreme primals), but I give up with players like you. And the development team has too.
