Current Problem Parallels

>And that's just stuff off of the top of my head.

I'll be that guy and add

> Them not realizing that the Asmongold wave was going to cause such an influx of players. They had to suspend sales and stop the trial to deal with the influx, yet they still went on with releasing Endwalker as it was with the server systems they had? With no prior attempt to try and meet the demand?
> The last-second delay of Endwalker's launch, which caused a lot of uproar. For apparently cosmetic purposes and not to deal with anything technical. For a lot of people it was the last good-faith card, and weren't willing to deal any further.
> They still had severe server influx; people waited entire hours just to enter the game. The fact that they then blamed the players instead of looking into their own servers and the affluence was just dumb. We get it: Covid was going on and every industry was borked. But as stated before, you could see this coming a mile away, and you still went with it, so why are you blaming us?
> Hrothgars being told they'd get stuff in Endwalker. Waited for 6.1 for us to be told at the last Live Letter that the hairstyles were rush-picked, with them going for what's easily considered the absolute worst ones. On April 1st no less.
> Them thinking that people would like those hairstyles and "being upset" that we didn't. Disconnect much?
> Them releasing the patch notes and people realizing that Jandelaine was still not changing our hairstyles, making a lot of players worry we'd still have to buy a fantasia to change hairstyles. Also the fact that for 3 years they didn't even acknowledge we needed fantasia to change hairstyles.
> People realising that all Jandelaine actually did was change your head to another one so that you changed hairstyles. This is just obvious "last minute, we didn't have time to decouple the hair from the head" it's painful.
> People finding that to do the hairstyles required them to shrink Hrothgar heads. They didn't fix the hairstyles like they would on Miqo'te vs Hyur hairs, no, they changed our heads just to fit the hairstyle.
> And that's not even getting into how the new hairstyles remove our ears. Allegedly because "It's hard" (it's not, modders proved as much in mere hours and have been for the past 3 years) and that things would clip (Endsinger EX itself's hair clips through its own locks).
> Twice did they tell us "it's hard", but people were quicker to prove them wrong and find out even worse things they've done to "fit".
At this point, this isn't content you're making for Hrothgar. You're not giving us anything. You're literally just last-seconding your way through your own game.
> (added) Character Portraits! A menu that says "beta" but very much feels like an "Alpha".
> The PvP Balance issue isn't even the worst of it, the fact that WHM has a gameplay bug that makes it so you can reset Cure 2 charges on a whim went completely under their radar
> HOUSING. HOW.

Even worse, it seems like they wanted to do it to clear up stuff relating to the story by the sounds of it - direct link here.

Increasing amount of slice-of-life moments in the story that seem and feel quite out of place to many players, including myself. 6.1 also keeps up these trends.

It seems like they woobified Y'shtola too much even for Yoshi.

Excellent summary of points.
