The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

"Abyssea is one of the many ways they are trying to patch a flawed gaming design that was noticed by the world when WoW was released. It was obvious back then that XI would get that treatment."

So your version of a "patch" for a flawed gameing design is to destroy the game.

Forgetting your family/friends? really? The majority of you talking about HNM's, never did HNM's i swear, starting from those post when people say "Why would you want to camp something for 24hrs" to those of you thinking we even camped 3hrs strait.

3hr windows is a total amount, the mob could pop every 30min's within that 3hrs, you show up, you wait 2min's for the window, you afk for 29min's with your family/homework/life, come back for 2min's, if the mob pop 5-10min's.

So SE was suppose to help the ship sink faster? Before level sync do you know how long it took to get a party? I remember waiting in Jueno for weeks without 1 invite because I wasn't a tank/healer. I also couldn't make a party due to the lack of seeking people in my level range.
My concept of a "patch" is to remove flaws and enhance the overall game design. Things like Abyssea, Level Sync, Toning down NM spawn times, making FoV grant xp without a cd. These are the ways SE is trying to patch their broken ship. Since making the original design was not more open for a wider audience and the joining of newbs slowed up a lot since WoW.

However, feel free to discuss how much you enjoy standing in one spot for hours to claim something. I still stand on my point that standing still for hours NOT playing the game is not a great way to present content. I will never understand how anyone gets a rush out of doing that for a 1% chance at something. It's a bunch of unnecessary stepping stones for a piece of gear.
