4-month patch cycle was a lie. It's almost 4.5 months now.

[Archeron]

A mass exodus occurs every 4 months, about a day or two after the new patch drops and people have finished their MSQ.

It's an expected loss of players, there is always an ebb, and flow of people coming into and out of the game for fresh patches.

The ingame shop whales will more then make up for the loss of those players whenever they add another $34 mount that some intern made in a week. FFXIV needs to see a noticeable dip in revenue, that will make Yoshi P panic, and make Square Enix executives raise an eyebrow. Right now, they're very happy with how the game is going. They're spending less, delivering less, and making a killing off of this game, and the people we need to help us think we're insane and they will blindly love FFXIV, regardless of its flaws.

they made a good point and thats all you can come back with? considering how many alt characters you have that you actually yourself post under, I would have thought it wouldnt have bothered you. thin skin I suppose...

Some trolls deserve to starve under a bridge. Feed him no attention.
