If you've got time, here's a really good read about FFXI: http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff11
The game will lose subscribers when all you do is log in for an event; the game will lose subscribers when you can just play it for a month and that's the end of it. FFXI's only problem, at most, was the soloability, which has in fact been fixed in this game.

It is not relevant at all that you have a life because it's no one's business whether you have a life or not; we're not negotiating your future salary. You act like someone that should just be allowed to tell a football team how to do their job because you work for a living.

There was a time when playing the game for any length of time under an hour in any capacity was impossible to do in FFXI. You couldn't just.. hop in and play for a while and then stop. An hour was how long it took to just get ready.
We're not talking about FFXI here, we're talking about FFXIV where anyone's grandma can solo 1-20 in several hours, solo 20~30 in another several hours, and get 30~50 in only a matter of hours. Why the hell should content even be released when everyone can have their Lv.50 class in a week? That's not even considering how much EXP one can get from PL'ing, either.

I'm very sure that the majority of players in this game are high school aged, or else college students, with fewer adults. It becomes very hard to play when time constraints step into view. Like it or not, this game has to cater to people like me who can't sit down for hours everyday. It's not because I'm cool or constantly doing interesting stuff. I'm a dork. It's just not an option.
Why should this game have to cater to you? Because you have a life? Get over yourself; you may as well ask to have a character with all-50's since all you seem to be interested in is endgame.
