SE has proven to us expansion after expansion that this is the amount they want to invest in their website and if you STILL bought the game from the SE site, you voted with your wallet that the customer experience you received there was acceptable enough for them to still earn your sale.

If you make it, see you again in 2 years for 8.0s exact same scenario, for now continue being loud, angry and accomplishing nothing because the only mechanism for change at the SE level (separate from FFXIV btw) is to vote with your wallet.

Square just needs to learn how to allocate funds properly more than anything. This could all be smoother if they were actually using all of the profits from 14 to improve the game and the systems surrounding it instead of funneling into other projects or NFTs.

It's worth remembering that FFXIV only exists today because Square Enix took profits from other games and used those profits first to develop FFXIV v.1, and then to rebuild the game as ARR after v1 failed spectacularly. If they'd followed then the policy you're recommending now, there'd be no FFXIV and no profits to argue about.

What SE is doing now with portions of FFXIV's profits could be viewed as simply repaying a debt or providing a return on investment.

They do know how to, and guess what SE has more than one project going on, using some of the coin they got from FFXIV also mean they used Coins gained from other games to make FFXIV in the first place, as for value you get in FFXIV is huge, especially of you are a gamer that is in to multiple things, and nope the content does not have to be level 90 or 100 for it to work out it can just as well be 60, 70 or 80 content.
