    One of the biggest things to understand is that modders aren't constricted by deadlines, budgets, or having to worry about the game's rating/system requirements and going through Q&A testing. It's easy to make stuff look super high quality when it's a single mod you're working on because you enjoy making it, rather than having to make literally an upwards of 100 pieces of gear every 3 months which you may not enjoy the aesthetic of.

    In addition, Square has to setup the coding, database entries and many other things that are already pre-established for modders to come in and basically plop something they've made over something existing.

    This, pure and simple. I mean it's the classic, "your job isn't so hard, even I can do it" or similarly the "grass is always greener" approach. Just because you perceive something as better or easy, doesn't mean it is.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    It's their job. They're getting more money from FFXIV than they used to due to the increase in micro-transactions and yet we're getting even less in terms of glamour and hairstyles with each new patch.

    This isn't some struggling indie development studio operating out of a small office building. It's one of the giants in the industry.

    You missed the point entirely.
