Pretty desperate how you would defend their slow development team and then invoke the "coding" argument. It's gamers like you that should take some blame for the poor state of the game.
What you say might have a point... if it were just a "few bugs" they were trying to work out. But no, in case you've forgotten or misread or are blind or all that mindless fishing has indeed made you mindless mr. FSH rank 44... they are trying to fix the ENTIRE GAME! Its more than just a few bugs and a few lines of code. Nuh uh, they are trying to fix and implement GAME CHANGING MECHANICS. You know, like, changing the way the game is played. That takes time and effort and money... oh yeah...free to play... with such major updating, and no real revenue coming in for it, its not such a giant intellectual leap to understand that it could take a bit of time.

If you consider us white-knighting, then go ahead. I love Square-Enix. I love their games. I love their chocobos. I'd have their cactuar babies, no matter how painful (and I'm a guy :/). I didn't play this game from the start, but I've followed it. I'm willing to SUPPORT the company and the game without constantly bashing them and their dev team. Its not like they WANT the game to be free to play. No, i seriously doubt that. I'm sure they want to take our money as fast as possible, which means, they will be working on all these updates as fast as they can.

Sheesh, they're doing the best they can.
