So, the Final Fantasy XI dev team?

As a customer, you are entitled because you're paying for a service. There's absolutely no reason to side with for-profit corporations rather than your own interests.

So if you go into a restaurant (fast food or not), and you are informed that due to understaffing (for example) your order will take longer than usual, you'll threaten them with never coming back again if your food is ever "late" again, saying that since you're a paying customer you're entitled to getting your food on time -- despite them warning you that it will take longer than usual.

They're a business, and we'd be all better for it if a lot of you stopped thinking of them as your personal friends.

And we'd all be better for it if SE stopped thinking of us as human beings playing their games and started acting like a 'proper' business and only saw us as a source of money. *nodnod*
(Relating to the other part of a business agreement goes both ways, you know...)

I agree, and honestly, this is the first big break between patches we've had for XIV, its not like WoW where you can be waiting upto a year for more content. The devs worked hard for their holidays, we got a whole load of content before Heavensward came out, then Heavensward itself. I hope they plan it out a bit better for 4.0, but this was their first proper expansion, you gotta expect missteps.
