    To all the people throwing around with "server architecture won't let them do what they want", please do explain me how removing all the enfeebling spell has anything to do with that? It worked before, why remove them completely? They could just remove them later when the class that is meant to get them gets released. And no, vague statements like "we'll get them back when you absolutely need them" don't make me speculate about any hidden meaning behind them.

    "Grander scheme"?
    "This is just beta, it will get better after <insert future date here>"?
    Seriously? Do you actually believe in this yourself? Dismissing issues and simply hoping for the dev team to make everything better is pretty naive, especially after what we've been through.

    No matter how many times people explain why this is said it still gets ignored. If you can with a straight face write out that FFXIV today is no better than what was released in September of 2010, you have a reason to believe people are naive that the developers can't make the game better.

    Players think in short term, only for themselves and generally their own personal enjoyment -- Developers think of the game overall and long term, which is why they do changes or make additions or subtractions that will benefit the game overall. SE went on record numerous times to state a lot of changes can't happen or they're doing x change in y way because of the poor server infrastructure. So the issues aren't being "dismissed", it's simply because it's a well known fact certain issues can't be fixed until they're running on the new server and client -- It's like trying to force Crysis to run on a Windows 95 built machine.

    That was not what I was trying to say.

    This might be true, but it could as well be another of those "PS2/PS3 limitations"-excuses we've been hearing from them or several other companies.

    So the issues aren't being "dismissed", it's simply because it's a well known fact certain issues can't be fixed until they're running on the new server and client -- It's like trying to force Crysis to run on a Windows 95 built machine.
    And this leads to them removing all the enfeebling magic how?

    its like cooking simplified. You cook the ingredients in order. You wont get the same dish by dumping it in all at once or in a diff. order. Depending on how u make the the results may turn out good, it may turn out bad, or it may turn out good and an hour later your Niagara falls in the bathroom.

    I disagree. Continuing your example, you don't suddenly start trying to separate the yolk from the flour halfway, do you?
