To Square Enix, these are the reasons why I am currently unsubbed from the FF14.

I'm a business systems analyst by trade. I have programming, systems, and business knowledge abound. It's not about trying to please everyone. It's about simply makingthe best content form you can. I personally don't think they hit that mark. I think they're afraid to deviate from their established template because it results in content Eureka. A untested mess of competing methodologies that was delayed.

So you choose to disregard the basic principle of business as a whole? being in the programming field you should know the amount of time and testing it takes to implement things that seem like nothing to the consumer, however can take time on the back end. I'm surprised this has note ven crossed your mind.

Like any other game phases / patches are meant to implement changes based on feed back. What your suggesting is for people to give it 100% percent, and then come up with more creative solutions later on which in turn can burn out creative minds and make them work harder rather than at a steady step that would be comfortable to the staff. Lets say they do pull out all the stops, they give players what they want, what would happen after some time? It becomes an expectation. Online games have to have some type of pace to allow both consumers ( who are casual ) time to catch up. Hardcore gamer will get it done within a few days rather than months. Now then you have two options, as a gamer burn yourself out and make the game more repetitive or make and then stress out from the start. If things are not set in increments both staff and gamer get burnt out.

They have to keep balance. Eureka is not for everyone and it is optional content. People who rage quit over optional content is fine and dandy, not all content may appeal to everyone. Lets face it many people will never see thing eye to eye.
