The 1.0 system did have a little bit of a delay, so clearly not done right and I suppose could be a defense on not fixing it.. costs resources for something they don't care about. Won't stop me from missing them though xD.
To be perfectly honest. I did enjoy what FFXIV had become by patch 1.23. It was shaping up to be a great game, a nice mix of FFXI and newer systems. I think, if they stayed the course of 1.23 they could have had a nice mix of FFXI and FFXIV:ARR but with such a terrible reception of 1.0 they had to "play it safe" to regain trust with their fans. I do really like ARR for what it is (with the exception of housing > ) and I have come to accept the fact that 1.0 is gone. Maybe one day they might take FFXX and make it a much more fine tuned version of 1.23. Until then I will just have to accept the grass for what it is...
