BA shows that we fail as a Community (big time)

Well the community wanted something similar to FFXI end game and that is what you got, headaches and all.

Except it really wasn't anything like FF XI endgame or FF XI at all for that matter. Some things were similar but they mostly took the worst possible aspects of old school MMOs and lumped it all together and called it "Eureka". So no, people asking for more XI with their XIV did not get it.
