November? really?

Also name me other "new generation" MMOs that have a patch cycle that is lower than 5 months.

Well that's the point isn't it. All other MMO's that have come out couldn't keep up with the demands of their consumers and floundered for it. In fact I would say one reason FFXIV:ARR succeeded where others didn't is because they had an aggressive patch schedule, 3 to 4 month turn around times.
