You know, I'm still wondering about these hotfix treatment and posted my thought on threads similar like this, which I now repeat again...

FFXI too, has frequent maintenance in a month, but majority of them only block partial areas and players can still resume their gaming on other areas not affected by it. The only forced-logout maintenance are only when SE adding major patch.

Now why can't this applies with FFXIV? Someone did remind me that there's like once a partial maintenance happened in XIV. But if you count it as overall, we have way too many forced-logout maintenance.

So I wonder again and again, what's so different between 2 games? They're both under same banner, so why can't both have similar treatment? This FFXIV-ARR has been running for more than a year now, so it has became larger question from back then.
