The biggest thing you keep talking about is comparing it to FFXI. I'm sorry but that wasn't a successful game. It was a fan favorite, but that's it. It was borderline dead. This game is drastically different, and that's good. If this game was anything like XI, most of us wouldn't even be playing it. XI still exists, go back to it. It just had a huge sale on steam even. Most of those ideas that came from XI are awful. Like, god awful. So few people getting to even see new content? Not able to ever finish your primary story content for 2 years? That's awful. You talk about this game having content issues or anything like it and use that as a comparison? XI was just a fun experiment. One that did NOT pan out so they went for something more profitable, something more people would actually enjoy.
