They plan months ahead and have a lot of merchandise on the Square Enix store already on waiting lists.

It's something I don't really see with other MMO's.

As it stands, we're looking at almost a year until Dawntrail launches and the established trend for 'meaty' patch content has been for it to come later on in the patch cycle, meaning that those of us waiting for something along the lines of Bozja and Eureka are very likely looking at an almost two year wait assuming we even get any at all as part of Dawntrail.
To be fair, it doesnt take much effort to add in mogstation items. And theres still 6.5 coming our way pretty soon.
