My problem with this amazing game.

At release PLD DRK BST BRD RNG could be unlocked 30.

Also 22 jobs.

And finally I agree with the point your making.
People keep thinking MMO should be released with 10 years worth of updates.

As for customization. 99% of people end up going into a mold of what works best.

FFXIV WAR can do All STR and all VIT. and both work well. But people see a WARRIOR without 7k HP and they think they are doing something wrong.

There is only 9 Jobs in this entire game.

Looking at my Classes in my Character screen I count 20 (arcanist counting as 2) nevertheless!

This.

If you research the launch history of each of the games you mentioned (OP) you will noticed that few, if any, had as much customization nor as many jobs as they do now...

You cannot compare the customization of an MMO that has been combed over relentlessly for 10+ years to that of a brand new mmo. Apples to oranges my friend.

May as well start complaining that children are born as babies rather than full fledged adults while you're at it.

If I remember correctly... FFXI launched in America with what I have previously said. WoW launched with what.. Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Warlock, Paladin, Hunter and Priest. Yet they had the 3 spec lines like I mentioned. Please stop telling me I am comparing them incorrectly. DAOC launched.. LAUNCHED with 30+ classes. SWTOR hasn't added anything. Everything I said is correct. A game shouldn't launch with the promise that, one day it will be on par with games out currently. That is stupid.
