The current state of the game is pretty stressing for everyone: people who don't like the game but still are playing because of their friends, people who are waiting for the game to ge better, people who enjoy some aspect of the game and are praying that they won't get scrapped...

But still I think there is something good about this: we are watching while the whole Eorzea is changing around us
I think this is an awesome experience that I've never had in any mmo I've played... You can sense the feeling of excitement in everyone when a new update approaches and after every patch you see everyone looking around for the changes...
I can imagine my character in a far future sitting in the Community building and saying to the new recruit "Aaaaw when I was a young adventurer I could smash spriggans with my bare foot" (ok maybe this was a bit too much -.-')

Also I love the fact that we have no clue on what we have to do (even if for a lot of people that's the main factor keeping them from playing ^^'). I can still remember my first party at Valkurm Dunes when I said "Ok let's grab everything that's moving and smash everything o/" and someone said "uhm... that's not how we do that >.>". In every mmo I've played I was always told what I had to do; now we are building our own strategies and people will be using them in the future... isn't this amazing?

Is anybody feeling the same?
