November? really?

Why is it so unreasonable to suggest they hire someone else to do their work while they are on vacation? If I go to a restaurant and order a meal but the waiter's turn ends before it's ready, they don't make me wait until he comes back the next day... they get another waiter to cover.

^ This. It's understandable if they need a break, but I'm baffled they don't seem to have extra employees to bring in for when others are out. In 15 years of mmos, I don't think I've ever seen one where they come out and say "welp, content is being pushed back another 2 months because everyone's taking a vacation."

This could also be further proof that XIV isn't doing as well as some people might think, so they're cutting costs. Either that, or they're just trying to ride the money wave from people who can't see problems with the game, while putting the minimum they can into the game (2 dungeons, 4 bosses, more focus on vanity content etc rather than real mmo content)
