Why does this patch feel rushed like when the game was released?

I love how people think they know what can and can not turn a profit when they really have 0 insight in to the financials of the game.. pathetic.. assumptions are full on ritard!

this game will turn a profit.. its not going to shut down, it will never go F2P... all of these same doom and gloom messages were the same shit that was said about FFXI.. it made plenty of money for SE over its life span and still continues to profit today.

FFXIV will make plenty of money over its life span and will continue to profit well into the future.. I just wonder if 10 years from now these same self entitled whiners will still be here doom and glooming... "JUST WAIT I PROMSIE BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR YOU WATCH AND SEE SERVERS SHUT DOWN IF THEY DON'T MAKE THE CHANGES THAT I WANT!"

i run a marketing business so i know somewhat about what will make profit and what won't. A game with a 5.0ish average rating that has been out a year and is considered one of the worst MMOs on the market, reviewed poorly 100s of times, will have a VERY difficult time making profit. Even if the game improves, people researching the game (and its an MMO so they will), will see low ratings and poor reviews. A commercial can't change the negative press. The only way to pull off a ps3 relaunch will be mouth-to-mouth. And for that to work the game has to impress the majority of players enough to get their friends playing. Right now its no where near that stage, and SE is alienating players (see like 80% of posts on this forum)
