I recently bought a hotspot, so I could play the game at work. However, when I tried to log in through the hotspot (which has a 5GB monthly limit) the game tried to download a 3.6GB patch from 11/26/2013. That's probably not even counting any other patches.

At home, there are no patches. It just logs me straight in.

Is there any way to circumvent this? I bought this hotspot almost for the sole purpose of playing FFXIV at work. And if I can't do that, I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. And considering there is probably 6-7GB of updates if I DO have to update though the hotspot, that's 80$ I have to spend to update a stupid game that should be updated already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
