It feels bad to be asked what games I’m enjoying now and not have FFXIV be an answer I can honestly give.

My frustrations with this expansion really echo what the devs themselves felt were some of the core failures of 1.0 that they needed to correct course on.

And yet history is repeating itself because they fucked up the graphics quality by making changes (there are A LOT of issues...), and saying they will make changes as needed in future updates but no one knows if let alone when that will actually happen. They could have just left it alone and worked on it over time before implementing it but chose not to do that. Shot themselves in the foot.
