SE is taking every occasion to make their player more unsatisfied day after day.

What's the difficult of release patch notes before the patch release?????

The reason is that they don't know what they are doing, prolly. <.<'

My 2 cents.
Honestly i've got two sides of opinion for this. One hand, i'm becoming impatient and just want to play XIV the way it should've been day 1. On the other, Yoshi and team seem to be literally releasing another game to take the place of XIV (changing everything from battle mechanics, equipment stats, animations, removing physical level and ranks / replacing them with simply exp and levels as far as terminology goes, and more), so its understandable why its taking so long.

Its not that the new team doesnt know what they are doing, its just the end of the pool they decided to jump in was so deep...it's taking awhile to surface.
