I was incredibly vocal about it after the first 11 months, and got nothing but hate and abuse from multi people on Materia for even speaking up about the issues, as if hiding them would make them go away.

2 years in, most of those people transferred back to Elemental or quit the game, it feels bad to be right, but the evidence was staring us in the face from the beginning.

XBOX might be the saving grace for OCE, i know more people that own an XBOX than a PS4/5 or a PC. And many of them are already talking about the game.
But that comes with its own fresh wave of problems, we are back to shepperding players through the game, and not enjoying the game ourselves, the endless cycle of helping in the hopes somebody stays to play.
