February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[Kiurai]

I doubt the engine is exactly 1-1 as it was in 2013 but limitations will always persist unless they leap into a new engine which I don't expect any mmo to do anyways so I don't know why people ever expect that. Although it's a poor excuse I don't doubt the legitimacy of what they say, loads of MMOs can't develop certain systems due to limitations we never can directly see.

Nobody is expecting them to just implement new feature with the snap of a finger. Yes all engines are limited to a certain extend, this one just seems a lot more limited in what can be done and it becomes increasingly more obvious the longer the game goes on. Glamour is one of the best examples, with how many different item skins we now have in the game we're in desperate need of a system that lets us use those skins without clogging up our inventory and I have no doubt that SE would like to implement that QoL feature, the engine is apparently just not capable of handling it.
