I feel there is nothing wrong with the whole Atma grinding. It goes by really quickly tbh. Just most ppl make it feel like it takes to long.

As for The Hunt and PS3/4 players... Not much I can say about that besides this is an MMO and for as long as I played MMOs (yes, I know FFXI is on PS as well) I feel MMOs should stick to PCs and PCs only. I see it as their fault and we (PC) should not be punished for it. The game already has limits due to it being on the PS3/4. NOTE: To clear up, I have nothing against PS players, I just feel because the game is also for the PS that the game also has to be limited. Not a full 100% open world is one of the reasons.

Rushing out content? I think they are at a good speed with that. Not to fast and not to slow. If you want slower new content.. then play WoW.. do the same thing (no new stuff) for 2-4 months.

You still wait 2-4 months for note-worthy content with FFXIV as well. Except when it finally hits, it's usually a mess in one way or another. Which I believe is what the OP is noting here.

In WoW's case, at least there has been some degree of QA in place via PTR and via feedback. But for FFXIV, there is none other than Yoshi's word.
The only time something was done based on feedback that I can recall, was when WAR was adjusted to be on par with PLD (They still aren't there, not quite, still). And that was after Yoshi had the nerve to say WAR was fine (Lol). If it hadn't been for the several dozens of threads, consisting of hundreds of responses across the NA/EU and JP forums and the flat out alienation of the class, nothing would have been done.
When the dev. team leader is that blind to such simple/basic mechanics/issues, we have a major problem.

People don't test on PTR, they play PTR to see content before everyone else.

Even if they don't, that allows the devs to monitor.
However, I recall in my vanilla WOW days, we had entire guilds dedicated to testing on the PTR.
