November? really?

Lets see if I can come up with something actually fitting to the situation.

You have Cable TV. You're paying monthly for your TV channels. In the month of October nothing runs that interests you (lets say new movies) because cinematic movie release schedule was wonky this year.

Are you going to go complain to your Pay-TV company that nothing runs that interests you and you definitely want Mad Max Fury Road now instead of in November?

This was almost true, but it is more like the cable company (somehow having power of this) says "All of these shows are launching in October." .. "OK, now that you've paid for October, we're actually just kidding and it will be in November. Peace."

Only that Square never said that 3.1 will be released in October. "First 10 days of November" is the first thing close to a release date we have heard by now. Everything else was just speculation by the player base. So it's more like "Oh... last year they released the shows in October they probably will do the same this year too." "This year the shows will come out November because of difficulties on the set." "Let us riot in the streets go get the pitchforks! We were promised October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

My assumption is not based off last year. It's based off an interview in February when Yoshi said "We will be following the 3 month patch cycle in Heavensward from 3.0 to 3.5".

Except... There were no difficulties, they went on vacation. It was a planned delay that they didn't tell us until 3 days prior to the expected release based on their own interviews.

If you want to get precise, it's more like
Cable company: We will be releasing a new show every 3 months
September, 3 months later hits, October bill paid for.
Cable company: Oh lol we went on vacation, so you can expect the new show in November instead.

More like you pay for October, they later say they ran into issues(the vacation was only one factor. According to Yoshida, they also had to fix something with the workflow) and it'll be delayed. You have full access to the rest of the catalog, but it won't be updated until November. You ask for a refund, they don't give you one because they legally don't have to due to what was stated in ToS.

Never asked for a refund. As for issues, see above. Don't care about legal stuff lol. No idea how many times I have to repeat myself.
TBH this thread has been more entertaining than the game. Nice that it's free.

Not referring to you specifically, just the people that are demanding some sort of compensation.
