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

[Vahlnir]

The fact that you are almost required to use a third party software in order to play a certain aspect of FFXIV despite doing so is against the ToS and the developers suspending or canceling accounts when you do is telling.

They screwed up royally and now they have to somehow fix this mess up. Or they can pull a Diadem and just forget about it. Wonder what they're going to do?

If they were going to pull a Diadem they'd simply turn BA into a bunch of Fates with a random chance of encountering Absolute Virtue, followed by a random chance of getting any reward at all.
