Well this isn't FFXI. So what happened in FFXI, how long it took to obtain things in FFXI dont apply. Why?

Because it isn't FFXI!

People keep saying it took this and that to obtain AF, relic gear in FFXI need to get out of that mindset. FFXIV is a different game, with a different design and a different playstyle.

So until people realise that they aren't playing FFXI the better, maybe then they wont worry so much and just play the game for what it is.
