I posted that a page back, people ignored. Good looking patch, but they're releasing instances with a known bug that could potentially harm player data. After three months to work on it. [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]

Nope, I'm one of those crazy folks who really doesn't care when a patch comes, so long as it's for the better of the game, and so long as it doesn't look like time was wasted. Congratulations on the assumption though, clearly you have an amazing forum prowess and are leagues ahead of people in their own beliefs.

In that sense, would you be happy to wait 6 years for a 15 gig sized patch which got EVERYTHING done in one blow? No, I didnt think so. You're right about having concerns about bug issues, but did you consider that it is something they are addressing to us now, to show they are working on them?

Show me an MMO without bugs, I would be interested in seeing this heavens delight

Show me another high end gaming company who's resolution to a known issue is "Just force close the application, it'll be alright."

Sorry, but something like this should have been addressed prior to patching, I would much rather lose five *** side quests than have to worry about my game locking up on a loading screen.

Game crashing > content.

well tbh it's not been that much of an issue (with myself at least). During playing this game i have crashed on an extreamly rare occasion. With this in mind, I think it is fair to say it's not on the top of their priorities.

Imagine if for th next 6 months, they fixed all the game bugs. Ok, you have a no bug game. But then they add content and changes. Guess what, BUGS! They need to fix the bugs as they work along the changes. Otherwise all the work they done before hand is pointless.

I for one am happy with the changes in this patch (cannot wait to try them out ingame of course), and I think picking holes in a couple of glitches here and there is ungreatful and disrespectful to the overhaul thats being implimented here.
