I agree that having the devs listen and respond with the QoL issues and updates makes me feel better about paying a monthly subscription. Ever since the pre-patch notes came out, I was grinning everytime I got a RMT spam because my worst annoyance is going to be lessened (if the system is enforced). Housing may not be perfect, especially on larger servers, but its getting incrementally better. Cross bars will be dimmed or transparent. Players won't be getting ripped off with 40 different types of glamour on the MB. I'm sure I will be drinking cordials on my mount (huge for me you dont know).

But across the board the game feels clean, bug-free, and presents itself as a professional product. We all know it didnt start that way with FFXIV 1.0 (i never played but I gather second hand from the forums) but the devs should be congratulated for making this a more enjoyable experience for all of us.
