Response time needs to be faster, combat does not. There are plenty of games with fast-paced combat, FFXIV does not need to be one of them. If you aren't going to keep yourself up-to-date with what is planned for 2.0, or at the very least know the biggest reason for 2.0 is the absolute necessity for new servers because of the fundamental flaws in the current ones, your views and opinions of the game are going to be very short-sighted.

Potential is everything. Not everything has the potential to be something successful and something that you are personally interested in. From an investment standpoint, I'm not going to give money to an organization that does not share the same viewpoint as myself. There is a reason I'm not playing WoW or Tera and that is because there is very little potential for those games change into something that I would enjoy for more than a fleeting moment. FFXIV, being the only game on the market that has said potential, is going to get my support until such a day that their viewpoint differs from mine in an uncompromisingly way.
