You are not a normal player. Normal players will never see memory issues. If everyone was experiencing them it would be more of an issue.
A lot as I stated there's a 240mm fan below the GPU pushing air up on the factory cooler, and yes everyone is experiencing the memory leaks just go take a look at your processes, under the task manager, ffxivgame.exe

I did reapply IC Diamond 24 thermal paste on my GPU and that brought things down some, and I am using MSI afterburner to verify everything, I let the program auto manage my fan which is running at like 60% right now; until I can Watercool the unit.

I know that I am not an ordinary everyday PC user, as most wouldn't drop 240 dollars on a Case, but this case is optimized for airflow and watercooling. Believe me when I say I would have the same concerns as you are if someone had just typed this up without evidence, but I assure you that you can verify physical memory usage from the start and watch it jump 400MB instantly as soon as you execute FFXIV.

Now in my case with 8GM of RAM I understand I will never really see issues with memory usage, but I can guarantee you that others may or will down the road especially if it is leaking that much in 4 hour to get the game up to over 1GB of RAM usage.
