Realm Reborn = downgrade?

This is the EXACT same attitude that let them get away with releasing the game in a terrible state in the first place.
Let the company defend itself. If people have issues, don't belittle them, allow them to talk about it.

Actually that was more of SE's fault for not listening to the playerbase who clearly told them it was still very fucked up and not ready for release. Trust me we bitched and griped at them and gave our opinions in a loud and vocal manner during the beta, and they still disregarded our input and went ahead and released an unfinished game.

Rather, it was the top suits fault at SE since even Tanaka agreed the game wasn't ready just before they made an announcement that it'll be released in sept.

Except for the white knights frothing at the mouth, torches and pitchforks in hand, ready to pounce anyone who would dare speak out against XIV on the alpha/beta forums because "its just alpha" and "its just beta" and "its only been out six months."

It was very similar to this thread actually. Actually... some of the posters IN this thread were part of the very same group I refer to above. Isn't that interesting?
