To make my earlier main point completely clear (I've been a little all over the place, multitasking a bit too much) to where most people will agree is that Mac computers are obsolete the second they come off the production line because of the cost effectiveness is just not there. You are paying for the label. It is not a matter of Mac vs Windows, it is a matter of Mac vs Everything. If a Mac comes out with a computer that is rated 85 out of 100 points (random example), you could build your own non-Mac PC or even order a pre-built non-Mac PC with the same rating for a lot cheaper and have your own OS of choice installed and there are plenty that are as good if not better than any Mac OS. Alternatively you could buy a lot more for $2000 buying a regular PC than you can with buying a Mac. Cost effectiveness is a very important issue and to say it's not is kind of an elitist and wasteful mentality.

Now getting back to the OP's discussion, I really don't expect a Mac client to be released for another few years. It's a lot more work than it sounds. Saying that they should hinder the production of FFXIV for real gamers just because you refuse to use work arounds is just blatant self entitlement. My first post here fixes all of the problems you have. Get a real PC if you don't want to have work arounds or wait a few years for a Mac client. That's just my opinion.
