Mac client needs to be reborn..? :(

[Avenger]

I just started the Mac FFXIV client up, and in the game start screen when I scrolled between "Configuration" and "Exit" I noticed large red text that would momentarily flash in the middle of the screen. The text read:

ß Version ß Version ß Version


Perhaps this explains why it's not quite ready to be played.

I think it would make sense to declare the current Mac client an open Beta version and to stop selling it until performance issues and bugs have been addressed.
