I guess it's time

[RobbieH]

XI had a ton of arbitrary lockouts.

Can't do Dynamis more than a couple times a week.
Can't do Assaults without ID Tags (you only get one a day and can only hold a max of five)
Can't finish certain quests until Japanese Midnight.
Can't catch more than 200 fish a day.
Can't upgrade your campaign medal for five days.
Can't do Salvage more than once a day.
Can't do Limbus more than once a day.
Can't reobtain certain key items until a certain amount of time has passed.

You get the idea.

Some of these things eventually changed, but they were still like that for a *really* long time, and changing them did nothing to revitalize the game.

Doesn't matter if XI had lockouts, are we going for better or for worse now?

Edit: by the by the 3.2 numbers were 650K

Those were peak numbers on a Raid Patch launch, not average player base, it declined since then.

Please don't compare comeback numbers with actual numbers.
