This is why we need a test realm so we can test for bugs on a much larger scale instead of having a small in-house team testing them out.. Does anybody ever remember a single patch where it wasn't followed by a hotfix the day after?? I don't, I understand it's sometimes necessary but with FF14, it seems to be a 100% of the case.
Exactly. This is precisely what I mean. They rush to fix too fast and end up costing us more down time when they mess up instead of at least trying to be "right first time". Its impossible to be 100% right first time but... at least appear to have the effort of it. I'd say its probably around 40% right first time since I started playing.
