Really starting to worry...

Ya this game has only been out for a year, did you guys really expect the basic mechanics to be in yet?

I don't think it should have been released until 1 year from now given the current pacing, and even then, probably wouldn't be welcomed like a game like Rift (for the record, I hate games like Rift).

There's the door, have fun playing anything else.

I've been playing almost non-stop since way before launch. I've seen every change, every improvement, every hiccup, every issue and every resolution. It's come a long way, but the core of the game, what it is, and what it stands for, was never bad. It had some lag, sure. The UI could use some polish. Could use some more quests. Little things, here and there. But you know what? I'm still here. Because the game is still good and on it's way to great. I watched EQ's launch and take-off, EQ2's launch, sort of take off, and flop, Vanguard's launch and flop, FFXI's launch, struggle, take off, go into a lull, take off again, etc. Vanguard had more than FFXIV at launch, and it failed hard, because it's core was not up to snuff. FFXIV's core is of a higher quality, and SE is dedicated, and that's why it will succeed.

Don't tell me what to do, I paid for this game and I have every right to criticize it if I choose. It's more enjoyable than it was at launch but a year later and it's still not at a state that a retail game should be. And everyone trying to say the game is still in "Beta testing" needs to get a reality check because it's not. We all paid for it and it's still for sale in stores today. It doesn't matter how much apologizing SE has done this game is not in beta testing even though it should be.
