I buy that, but isn't that kind of their fault that it ended up this way? I mean, they didn't have to release it. They really didn't have to. So to use one terrible mistake to justify not fixing the terrible mistake is incredibly unprofessional. Besides that, half the entire game consists of instanced content. They can put us in a dungeon, they can put us in a mog house. For now, I'd just settle for them at least acknowledging that they understand it's still an issue, and more than that, WHY it's an issue (not that we're just too lazy to make gil nonsense).

Believe it or not, the players *in general* are reasonable. they came back after 1.0 failed so miserably because YoshiP came to them and said "I understand why you left, and this is my plan to make it better" and then he did it. And players returned. And now the population is HUGE because of it. The game is successful because of it. Then, somewhere along the way, missteps started to happen. And now here we are with systems that are still clunky, unbalanced, and some are downright broken.

I believed in YoshiP and this game, but lately it just seems like no one cares anymore. That's a terrible feeling to have. It doesn't make me want to talk this game up to anyone who asks how it is when I tell them my mmo is FFXIV.
