How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

The response to this whole thread is the prime example of how limited the community is. If the devs listen to those people there is no hope.

I think when you end up with a player-base that mostly consists of FFXI vets, most of the opinions from them will be geared towards making FFXIV play more like FFXI.

Not that it's such a bad thing, if they enjoyed it then fair enough, as long as they understand that S.E aren't planning to turn this game into FFXI, they want to do something new and original with it.
