Rested XP while servers are down?

i wish more people were like him actually.

well, you're probably one of about two people across the entire fanbase for this game then.

i'm not complaining about either actually. all i was doing was pointing out the fallacy of people acting like every member of the staff are brand new.

I don't think anyone is acting like this...

they all discuss how horrible the old coding structure was, but fail to see that this is the same group of coders that did the original. yes, quite a few of the leads are different now, but i'm also not crazy enough to expect a completely new and more stable version using the original group that did the coding for the original bugged release.

Just because some engineers messed up the first time (Remember that they were working with an engine that was originally built for singleplayer games) doesn't mean they can't improve. Also, the new engine they are working with (which was built from the ground up in-house is basically a sister to another engine they are using that was developed by other people. Some of these people may not appear on the FFXIV staff list because they developed code/alogrithms that were not just created for FFXIV, but also for other projects.
