Why does this patch feel rushed like when the game was released?

[Zkieve]

I don't think players are trying to adapt to the change more than they are fighting against it.

People are bashing hate system before they even know how it works.

People are bashing abillity changes before playing for more than a few days with them "Or sometimes play with them at all"

People are bashing MP changes before again playing for a few days to see how they can adapt to the new playstyle.

I think it's more of a problem of people "Rushing" their assumptions on how these change the game, many things are totally game-changers but people are jumping the gun to bash the new systems before trying to work inside of them. It's a case of "It's not as easy as it was before" before people even know whats going on.

Mages are mad because they can't solo NM's anymore, Archers are made becasue they don't outclass everyone anymore, people are mad because leveling has slown down a bit, people are mad because things changed.

People don't like change

I agree with this 100%.
But i also agree this patch is really unpolished.
Is what the "i want my content/patches now!!!" crew does to a game.
So now the same people are the ones who are complaining about bugs/unbalance.

Oh the irony.

It's been stated, though, that there would still be rough spots and things wouldn't be "polished" with this patch. Yoshi noted this in at least one of his letters.

This is the first of a number of major updates they're doing, things will be adjusted, tweaked and revised as necessary as time goes on.

I see a lot of people complaining about the adjustments as though how it is now is how it will forever be going forward. That's never the case. Nothing is ever etched in stone with a MMORPG. If any MMO should prove that, this one should.

This isn't the conclusion of FFXIV's new direction. It's just the beginning.

overall i'm happy with the patch although i haven't got to see and do all of it. i wasn't impressed with the solo guildleves and behest but i think what we have now will make more sense as we see the next 2 patches hit the servers. my only real complaint is the severity of the death penalty , after fighting the ogre and dying many times in the 8 man raid all my gear is broke hopefully they can atleast reduce it some.
