Recurring cash cows don't get big increase in budget if they're generating a lot as is. Look at mainline Pokemon games for instance. This is also why XIV is getting less experienced people taking big roles (like Dawntrail's scenario writer) while the better ones move to other projects.

And yeah this fanbase loves to talk about spaghetti code excuses. Nearly every code for major growing projects are spaghetti code.
