Yes. I know. We have had this same discussion on another thread. For me the REAL issue is why in a game with this many subscribers and backed by a large, successful company like Square Enix, does it constantly feel so ghetto when it comes to memory for our characters and whatnot at their end? I have played a lot of MMO's and I have never really seen it this bad, where every time there is an issue, it seems to boil down to "not enough character memory" at the servers. It feels like having $478,212 in your checking account and buying ramen noodles at the store because we don't want to spend over $30 for groceries this week.
