Thats just asking to have an absolutely tiny playerbase for a year, and its basically inviting people to go get sucked into other big MMOs while they wait, potentially loosing them as future customers because they could care less after they found something that hasnt said "please wait, we promis it will get better".
Really? You know how many people were playing before patch 1.18? You know how many came back? You are entitled to your opinions but DON'T make assumptions on how many people will "leave" when they start billing. They are giving you probably 3 weeks before they start charging, and soon after that is two more instances, jobs, and more content.

And anyways, they need the money. If you don't want to support XIV, then don't and just leave. Simple as that. I'm tired of people thinking they are entitled to call a team out that is taking an extreme amount of time, effort, and money to fundamentaly change a game and people like you keep badgering them because they won't release the content they didn't promise.
