I'd rather not see another delay, personally, though I do have some concerns in regards to server stability.
As an aside, two specific factors stood out to me:
- Back in the early days of ARR, when the stakes were higher and the development team lacked the rapport that they have at present we would get little gifts in the mail whenever something went awry. I remember getting dye sent to me as an apology for a bug with retainer ventures. Now, even when there's a major issue or delay we don't receive anything. I'm not saying we necessarily have to, but it's pretty standard elsewhere for businesses to throw a freebie at their customers to lessen the impact of their mistakes and broken promises. Well, at least here in the UK. It may very well be different elsewhere, I suppose! Though then we circle back to the simple fact that such a stance was the norm during ARR and then changed for some reason.
- The Gold Saucer is set to get new content in Endwalker but we've...heard absolutely nothing about it. That strikes me as odd. Not even a teaser?
