    I am fine with some focus on PVP because there are people that are interested in playing it. But why did we truly need battle recorders? I mean its even already quite restricted so who is truly going to use that feature? Maybe its good for raid groups (but those already got Ultimate) and some youtubers but its just bad when the more casual content like Eureka gets pushed back. (And lets not talk how this record feature somehow took more time of the liveletter than something like the glamour or housing part..)

    I might be fine with a bit of a pushback if this was not just hinted at in 3.x already and thus we are waiting for this for quite some time..on top of that they already tried to sell us Diadem 2.0 and other content as something great and I can never forget how Yoshida said that the second Titan battle at the end of 3.x was something never seen before...and the only thing it changed was the flavor text...So I remain skeptic with them selling it as something new for FF14..if this is going on for so long and will be release in 4.25, why cant we at least get some more information? Maybe I would feel better if I had at least a better grasp on how this will function. Yet even now we barely know anything about it. It just feels like even the devs dont feel confident in it..

    In the end 4.2 will bring just another two dungeons, a primal fight and omega...stuff that will be done in one week max. The beast tribe is at least something that I will do daily but those dont take that long..so in the end I was really looking forward to Eureka but even that will have to wait again..(if they gave us a true glamour book I would have had a big long term goal but even that is not possible..) On top of that they decided to put Hildibrand into the 4.x5 patches because they felt like people are doing it later anyway..instead of just leaving the choice to the players. So even more stuff that is pushed back which would not be a problem if the initial main patch would have lots of new and old things to do.

So I don't agree with giving content now that they feel isn't ready to whatever standards they have.
    Well then why did they feel the need to rush out perform? I mean this is not some long term content, just something nice next to playing the game. So its their own fault if they rushed it out anyway. While Eureka was already known in 3.x so its not something that we only heard recently from. But seeing how they still barely talk about this I do kinda wonder if they are even feeling comfortable about it. I mean this content is existing for a time so I just cant believe that they are still so deeply in developing it that so much can change about that..so for me it just feels off, like they know that people might not be that happy about it..but maybe thats just me and being too skeptic after all the stuff they had done.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
