At this point i'm starting to suspect SE of RMT and botting to inflate numbers. I witness 3 events in 2 hours one of which i reported and noone ever got back to me. 7 hours later the bot train was still rolling. Then there was the the blm's invisible inside the map. I had to go to battle log to get names of the 2 and later saw them again one dead, i can only assume he wasn't fully submerged in the map to avoid acid sprays.
~off Topic~
This is off topic but i get into my 1st dungeon on new character and the blm and nin are in some kind of war with each other and me for enmity. (By attacking the same time i do or unloading after i hit mob once in a pack of 4, lol. I love FF but these things i listed made me log out yesterday after an extended break of many months, and question whether i even want the expansion i pre-ordered but am still waiting to actually buy because they don't charge for the product until tomorrow or some other convoluted bs.... Meanwhile the dates in the character screen still overlap like 7 and 8th day still both say 7, or in one month the 14th and 15th both say 14th and 16th is 15th and 17th is 17th. This was a beta bug. The bugs with controller and map still exist. so many little things, like my gladiator and the carpenter having same stance still. Why do you think it cool to try and take threat for yourself as dps? We can see you aren't attacking the same mob as rest of us, we can tell when you jump the gun in a fight. Do you really want to be the next to ko if i die? lol
My point is that yoshi-p has stated they are 4 years ahead of us maybe it was planning. This worries me because it shows they are not looking back. While the blm changes give me hope that elements will matter in HW and that they are listening if only a little does that mean that the older content just falls to wayside for the remainder of FFXIV existence?
Wow I just went way off topic. Better end my rant here.
