Can we not agree that FFXI was held together by a very dedicated fan base? That it only grew after adding new platforms. We got new servers with North American launch. CoP dud treasures new server added with xbox community. While I had hoped that Heavensward would dramatically increase the player base to justify new servers. We did not see enough new players. All the reviews I read praised it but it had not been a fresh start.

The days of horizontal progression is gone. Unless you want a purely glamour item. Then i see no reason to complain. But anything that has any relevance to progression should be reset in the current model.
