    Thought about posting this earlier, but figured I'd wait for someone else to do it as I didn't feel like writing an intro lol.

    Seems like XIV is one of their few products not losing them money these days. I guess we'll see how 7Remake-Part 2 turns out. They really need a big win financially after the past few years outside EW.

    The reason we don't get good QOL updates / server updates / fixed code is because all of that is expensive and FF14 is being used to funnel money into other projects that largely underwhelm / fail.

    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]

    People don't see something like that, rather because the game haven't added the next QoL they want, it means the dev don't reinvest. It's the sort of self-made belief that becomes truth simply because enough people repeat it enough of time. The serve upgrade wasn't even the biggest deal in the last couple years. The server expansion that happened during COVID when hardware cost were 4-5 times above the market price were completely bonker. I won't guess where that money coming from, I just gonna guess it have to come from ... somewhere?
