Imagine for a moment a M+ feature for FFXIV that results in another Ungarmax. That's the kind of engineering mistake in FFXIV that can come from not testing things sufficiently. Let's say theoretically that any dungeon can become M+ by clearing it on minimum ilevel. Then it's discovered that you could clear level +20 by removing all your gear so the game naively sets the difficulty based on the entry gear stats being zero.

The way people in this game quickly attribute inaction from SE as "not a bug" is why I feel SE doesn't take risks.
honestly it's why I think that SE has no fair chances to plan really new things, Blizzard content is always released in a buggy unbalanced mess after months of Beta or PTRs, but ppl neither care nor remember it.
It's a bit of the bethesda effect if you think about it.
Bethesda games are notorious for beign buggy but while it started as a meme it has become the norm and ppl have come to accept it, which honestly it's wrong.
The same happens with Blizzard and after all this years you would expect the quality control to become stricter but I think it's becoming more lax and less than a concern for the consumers but they get a free pass and if you point out it on a forum be ready to be called and hater or worse. THAT is the amount of power that blizzard has over it's playerbase.
That is why I say that a wod quality expansion will be the end of the game, maybe I'm wrong, but I really don't see that same grip on ppl that you can see in the other games
