Really SE?! Really....?

I did not post this thread to discuss what people do with their life outside of FFXIV, nor did I post to discredit what the current Dev Team is trying to make of this game. The point was to express the discontent with the constant inability to play a game we (the players) are paying a monthly subscription for due to releasing content that is not stable or properly prepared to be released. I fully appreciate the work that has been put into this game. I have seen where it began and how far it has come along. However, having a magnitude of unscheduled down time affects the opinion of the masses towards SE's capability to continue building this game.

Well that's just the problem with programming for any game, word processor, OS, drivers, or other software. Regardless how much you test there's always going to be some flaw or bug in the programming that the developers miss, and the more expansive and large the program is the harder it is to find, test, and catch these bugs in the act. Sometimes it's mild and negligible and for the most part things run smoothly, other times it's drastic and fatal.

But I digress, MMO's are perhaps the most notorious types of software for bugs and glitches since content is constantly updated, a large part of data is getting adjusted and you can't always predict how the game is going to react to that change.

Thank you for the mature response, I can fully appreciate and understand your position on the subject matter.
