Seriously? Do you actually believe in this yourself? Dismissing issues and simply hoping for the dev team to make everything better is pretty naive, especially after what we've been through.
No matter how many times people explain why this is said it still gets ignored. If you can with a straight face write out that FFXIV today is no better than what was released in September of 2010, you have a reason to believe people are naive that the developers can't make the game better.

Players think in short term, only for themselves and generally their own personal enjoyment -- Developers think of the game overall and long term, which is why they do changes or make additions or subtractions that will benefit the game overall. SE went on record numerous times to state a lot of changes can't happen or they're doing x change in y way because of the poor server infrastructure. So the issues aren't being "dismissed", it's simply because it's a well known fact certain issues can't be fixed until they're running on the new server and client -- It's like trying to force Crysis to run on a Windows 95 built machine.
