    In my case, I don't need to be thorough with insignificant things like this, so I don't need to double check with other sources of information (in-game or outside of the game) when the patch notes provide all the information I need. The fact that the text for this was changed confirms what the OP stated: that it was misleading.
    Seems like it's not so insignificant to you if you have to come to forums to complain.

    Patch notes have never been 100% complete and 100% accurate in any MMO I've ever played. You should never rely on them alone. Guess you're learning something from this insignificant occurrence.

    Since you are arguing with me just for the sake of arguing, I'll take my leave here, not before I state the following: I didn't come here to complain. I read the OP's post, I agreed with what he said to a certain extent (one of my previous posts mentioned that I found the text in the patch notes misleading but I also said that it was not important, not relevant and not game breaking). In other words, my argument was not about the mechanics of the change but rather the misleading information that confused some players (like the OP). I presented evidence that made my case crystal clear. However, since this is the Internet, I was expecting people like you and that other guy who made the "English is hard" smart remark so instead of getting involved in a stupid argument, I will conclude my participation in this thread now. Bye.

    I made no such comment, you are mistranslating my statement All I said is if it is your job in a mega sized company like SE to be a translator, you should be proficient enough in said language to be able to translate it correctly or in a way that makes sense even with certain restrictions. It's a minor detail sure, but SE is not a start up or an indie studio so giving us a bunch of mistranslations, even in the minor things, isn't something that should happen as often as it does. They should hold themselves up to a higher standard than we do.

    A few mistakes here and there are obviously going to happen. But it's really frequent and sometimes confusing. And the amount of apologists for SE and their consistent ball dropping on so many issues that are far more important that translations are not only getting worse but also exacerbates the problem because it allows SE to cut more and more corners. So if ppl don't hold them accountable for the small stuff, you cant expect them to give 100% on the big issues either, and vice versa.

    All I am saying is if SE screws up, as they are doing, more and more often. You need to hold them accountable. Just like if they do good on something small or large you need to praise them. It's the only way for them to get better. It's gotta be a balance. There is nothing more detrimental to a company, series or team than fanboys and apologists.

    Patch notes might be misleading but it says on the Gyshal Greens "Duration can be extended to 60m by offering multiple servings".

    It isn't rocket surgery.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
