Why are we talking about database issues? The "server limitations" that are mentioned by Square Enix are universally about how much data is transferred to and from the server. It's not a question of being able to store more inventory slots, for instance, it's the ability to process more data per user every time inventory is loaded or updated. Whether the problem is due to initial bad design or something else, solving it is not simple.

We don't need to say it's OK to have these limitations because of their implementation, but we should acknowledge the level of effort that would be required to fix them. They're probably never going to be fixed in this game, so if that's a deal-breaker, maybe play something else?
