There has not been a single major patch without a critical issue since Endwalker.

What's crazy to me is they also are extending the time between patches...I mean with 6.2 being LATE August and still not bringing all of the promised features until 6.25...I have to wonder what is going on over there. I get they encourage us to take breaks but the longer periods between patches that result in more tech issues is odd to me.

Frankly I think the team has completely lost interest in FF14 and we're now officially in managed decline mode. When there is no passion, just like with World of Warcraft, the quality will also slowly erode. This is just the beginning of the WoW-like decline. This exact trend has happened in WoW. Sadly FF14 is now heading the same path.
