Squadrons are a let down for now

Please spare me.

No.

People wouldn't be upset if this was the first time they half arsed content releases only to ditch them to the wayside for several patch cycles. So many systems in the game sit around half done moldering awaiting the update that makes them what they should have been at initial release.

So, what do you want? You want SE not to release anything for a year until they "finish" everything? That's not why I subscribed for. FFXIV is a theme park MMO with a lot of different things to do. This is what FFXIV is. If you want something else than that, something with very deep features released only every bisextile year, this isn't the game you're looking for.
And no, I'm not using that "if you don't like it, leave" lame excuse lightly here, I'm deadly serious. This game has been like this since the 2.0 release, and you expect something else entirely? You, please spare me.

Don't get all high and mighty on people who expect a competent product to be launched with major patch cycles. So far the Dev team has made a pretty bad habit of over promising and under-delivering and then just ditching the product to move on to something else they will half-finish before handing to players.

"Over promising and under-delivering", as I said, it's not their fault if people like you take thrown ideas as promises. You are the only one to blame for making your own false expectations.
Besides, platoon management isn't "half-finished". It is complete and ready to be released. If you wanted the "complete set of features regarding platoons that there will ever be in this game", then you'd have to wait for another year.. and who guess we'd see complaining on the forum that there's "no new things"? People like you.

So, yeah. Platoon management is done and will be released. Deat with it, dear entitled always angry customer.
