What's worse is 3.1 you could understand the slew of mistakes made. Heavensward was not only the first expansion but the first time they didn't have anything partially built from 1.0. Which is why the dev team was given time off as they pretty much worked non-stop from ARR to the release of 3.1. Of course, that doesn't mean they're absolved from criticism as some decisions in 3.1 were downright baffling (Lord of Verminion comes to mind) but you at least understand it.

6.3 and all its subsequent minor patches has no such excuse. Four expansions in and repeated boasting about record sales and player numbers should translate into a much better overall product than your first attempt. One could argue it makes this patch cycle worse because they should be not only more experienced but have the financial backing to do better. Naturally, we can't entirely fault the dev team here as Square Enix dictates where said finances are going. On the whole, 6.3 may not be the worst patch cycle but I dare say it's the most disappointing.
