Minor patch? Major patch? How to tell?

I hope you are all looking forward to checking it out!

I very much look forward to it :P

So where are the patches to fix the glaring issues that this game has had for the past month (and before):

- Bots able to teleport any distance away from their previous location, even underground and in instances.
- The ability for a single character to constantly spam messages to the same channel or send more than 1 directed tell a second.
- Session IDs that never expire, even after changing password (Really need to fix this)
- Difficulty involved with reporting players and lack of any response to players who are clearly exploiting and have been for weeks now.
- Apparent fault with crafting system to allow a computer controlled player to craft multiple items at once.


Not emergency enough?

It's nice that you have all this content lined up for 2.1, but at current the only people who will still be around to enjoy it are bots, people who already bought x months of subscription before realizing it, or people who are too jaded to care.

They've said multiple times they learned from other mmos when re-creating this one, well they didn't learn from one of the biggest patch failures for the biggest mmo. WoW patch 4.1(troll dungeon remakes), it took 5 months for this patch to come out 3 of which were after the ptr went up, they kept adding more and more pushing the patch back more and more and for what? 2 rehashed dungeons and a bunch of qol fixes that could have been done in smaller patches. You cannot keep doing that especially with a "new"(technically) mmo, so many of these changes that are being added on to this patch should have been out already because many of the people who wanted those issues fixed will have left already making the fixes for nothing.

A lot of the changes and additions in this patch are nice, however most of them should have been there either at launch or soon after. QoL issues that are not adding new content should be done in smaller patches, not crammed into big ones just because devs don't want to push them out over time.

We get it the game had a successful launch, how about keeping it that way and actually doing something sooner rather than later for a lot of the issues. Mmos don't stay successful for very long unless you keep the people paying happy, and at the moment there are a lot of pissed off people because nothing is being done inbetween patches 2.0 and 2.1. Do not make people wait another month or more for this patch.

What exactly makes you think they are not working on these as well. They know of these issues and I'm sure have people working and discussing how to fix these issues as well. Just because they are planning new content doesn't mean they are ignoring the old stuff... It's not one guy sitting in a room doing everything. They have teams of people working on different aspects. Just be patient, Eorzea wasn't built in a day...

be patient

It's nice that they're working on old stuff too... Don't get me wrong. But if they're going to wait till 2.1+ on implementing some sort of meaningful change that prevents these exploits, they will be losing a good deal of customers who have been patient, seen next to nothing happen in a month, and are getting sick of the waiting game and how little has been done.

The game is good, the world is rich, but the service stinks. I'd prefer those in charge know that the reason why many people will not be renewing their memberships is not because of any problem with the game, but rather with how they appear to be handling those issues which severely threaten the quality of that experience.
