I don't think people making comments about how they expect a delays and/or not too much from 2.0. I mean they've done nothing but hype it up, yes a lot of companies due, but I get the feeling this is different. Much of the things that have been a bit wrong with the patches made to the current version are because they have a lot of the team not even touching it; much of the team is entirely devoted to 2.0. With this and the fact that Yoshi-P, a man who has brought so much to this game, who has honestly done more than expected, is heading it, all we can do is expect something good. Not only that, they have a group of people entirely devoted to the forums, taking all the feedback they can and relaying it to the developers, meaning things are getting done; whether it is ideas for the future or complains about the now, we are seeing progress. We can complain all we want about drop rates, how they are fine or horrible, but we have to remember there is someone opposing your views which they have to take in to account.

What complaints are there now? Grinding? Invalid this is an MMO. Copy and Paste? Being addressed. Laggy interface? Has shown much improvement, and we all know 2.0 will have a badass interface. No flying black chocobo (my personal wish)? Let's hope for it. Drop rates? We have to give them time to figure it out, though I like the idea of a totem system, totems obtained maybe through certain conditions like times run, Ceteris paribus, given drop rate and difficulty stays constant.

Honestly the biggest concerns as of now is the fact that the game is supposed to cater towards casual and hard-core, but is leaning towards hard-core players, that and the lagginess. But nothing in what they've said has given to the idea that these two concerns won't be addressed. We know of a new menu system, and all they have to do is keep things fresh. When they make something difficult, allow for something lax and time consuming.

We know new dungeons are coming. We know of a new landscape. We know of a new interface. We know that Yoshi-P is devoted to the game. Yeah people may think that they didn't address the concerns of the need of something casual in the latest patch, with Garuda, but they tried Hamlet. Yeah it doesn't seem so hot now, but we know they are trying.

Give them a break, they are really trying. Bashing isn't helping anyone. Be excited, let them know you appreciate the hard work. No matter how much I cry after 20 minute AVs and CCs, I still know they are hard at work.
