Did patch 1.18 make the game more appealing to new customers and potential customers?

No, and it's easy to tell why:

Ok let's say i'm Mister Smith, looking for a new MMO to play! two possibilities now:

1- i know about ffxiv = means that i already looked up for ffxiv and found out i didnt like it, it's most likely that i will not hear about a patch!

2- i don't know about ffxiv = means i'll look for it, maybe go on this forum, and see hundreds of people complaining about pretty much every aspect of the game, what would you do if you were in Mr Smith's shoes?

To prove this i'll ask you all a question: If a revolutionary patch would come out tomorrow on let's say, Eden Eternal, or maybe League of Legend (random mmo's) and actually make it the BEST game ever, Would you know about it? ^_-
