I hate to get in the way of a good forum firestorm but..

The people who were around for the Shirogane launch can easily contest that claim. The storm of discontent that erupted from the community resulted in more wards being added and new restrictions on the purchasing of houses to prevent house flipping.

And well these forums are for feedback. This "firestorm" is feedback.

None of that actually requires development time. It's just extra servers.

Well this shows how much you know about what happened.

SE changed the requirements and limitations for purchasing a house. When those extra wards were launched you could not purchase a private home if you already had one with any character on that server, and you could not purchase a fc house if any characters on that server was in a fc that already had one. On top of that they added a randomised timer to placards to prevent house flipping. Introducing all of this does require development time.

What we need is for them to correct their mistakes after launch.

Patch 5.0: Viera/Vii Females, and Hrothgar/Ronso Males. New Tank, and DPS.
Patch 5.1: Viera/Vii Men are added in.
Patch 5.2: Hrothgar/Ronso Women are added in.
Patch 5.3: Glasses are made visible on the new races. A new healer could be patched around this time, or in a later 5.x patch if they still have time for it. So long as they don't implement any more limited jobs.
