Great post and You hit it out the ballpark. No one should defend square on your points .They all equal same the same problem, server infrastructure. That forcing us to have unnecessary delays. That hamper the experience. It just feel like a lack of experience on running a mmo for square nowdays. They hid in a shell on ffxi for 10 years. While the rest of the world was creating new things and advancing the gaming community and developments. All your points have been fixed on every MMO in the last 5 years. Let just hope they have been listening to there fans. They also are in the middle of a restructured of there company. To be more open , and Let hope they will lead the next decade of gaming. I do not want see some of there good franchises falling off the face of the earth.
