    I'm not sure what kind of "quality check" would discover that error. They could test the whole questline from start to finish and have no problem fulfilling the objectives.

    Anyway, if this is anything like the crowd of people around an MSQ questgiver on patch launch day, the very simple solution is to come back tomorrow and find it dead quiet.

    Part of QA is knowing more real life data than what coders can think of.

    This isn't the first time a massive bottleneck has hindered the game.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Precisely. This is such a common issue in MMOs that even in the design phase they should have changed how the quest worked.

    It's embarrassing that FF14 even implemented the quest this way.

    Someone needs to help them count. This isn't the first time they have had numbers and ignored them for a favoured design. Funny though your comment is close to exact same comments when the one armed man held the player base captive.
