Current Problem Parallels

[Deceptus]

The other issue as for why the XIV team seems to underperform despite being SE's favorite cash cow is because their own team got cannibalized to form the core of the FFXVI team. Yoshi P got pulled into that project as the producer, despite XIV being ongoing. He and the others are suffering from success not because they got big egos, but because their reward was twice as much work.

Even our favorite meme master MCK Fox has been absent from XIV for the last expac and a half because he's been pulled over to XVI. (Kate has done a great job though!)

Which is even worse.

We either have

1) The B team effectively developing FFXIV

or

2) Only part of the developers attention. Probably less than half of it, most of the brainpower attempting to develop a brand new game.

Either scenario is really bad for FFXIV.

well if this is the work of the b team or only half their attention then their doing a damn fine job, can't even imagine what'd they'd do at 100%.

Your standards must be dead and buried six feet under, pft.

Sadly, unlike you, I respect myself. So I expect more from a rather expensive game to play.

If FFXIV is expensive to you, you don't have the financial stability to be playing it.

I’ve heard “take your money elsewhere if you hate it” or other variations of “if you hate it then why are you playing it” but this is the first I’ve ever heard “you’re too broke to play it” used to try to shut down criticism. For anyone who says the forums are a cesspool, the call is coming from inside the house…
