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

Because you people make the same mistake every time again.
YOU EXPECT TOO MUCH.

You'll never be happy with this game, because the only reason for you to play this game is to find something you don't like.

I really don't like Square Enix, but I liked FFXIV from the begin. And I love the most changes in 1.18. The only thing I don't like is the reward after completing a quest/behest/leve and getting less SP by killing mobs in it.

It makes a lot of fun and it's playable. The sound is great, graphics are great, atmosphere is great, story is okay so far and the gameplay is okay. You people didn't throw a coin for all the changes made in this time so far.

No, I really wanted to love this game. I was a believer. I just look at the decisions being made and the sloppiness of it all, and I can't help but be unhappy about it.

I care about this game, ok? Just cause I see it failing and say so, doesn't mean I don't like it. It is like parents that tell their children that everything they do is perfect etc etc.

The child grows up and then has to go out in the real world (for the game this will be PS3 launch)

and then it finds out the hard way that it has a long long way to go before even being passable, let alone perfect.

I am being critical (as are most of the folks who are being critical) because it is better for us to be critical now, before "make or break time" then to pretend everything is perfect and then have PS3 launch flop.

You have to understand, this game needs to be appealing to a wide playerbase to succeed. People who like this game no matter how crappy and unbalanced it is are a tiny tiny minority.

You may hate people like me who are trying to point out the game's flaws, but we are integral to the improvement of this game and to its ultimate success.

And as a paying XI customer - I am not only a fan of SE, I am helping pay for the development of this game. So, yeah. Please don't accuse me, or anyone else raising concerns, of playing only to hate.
