I'm thankful they even bothered to put them in in the first place considering at that point they had already begun the work on ARR. They put it in for us to try, as a fan service. You do realize they could have just shut down so they could have focused on the rebuild instead. Ya, a lot of 1.0 felt rushed. Are you surprised? Do you think this will be exactly the same in ARR?

If all you are doing is lamenting about something thats dead and gone, I apologize for interrupting. But if you are expressing this as a reflection of what ARR will be like, then i would like to see your crystal ball. As of yet, no one aside from dev's or possibly Alpha testers "might" have had a small sneak peak as to the plans for the rebuild. I'm pretty sure this team will be paying more attention to detail because so far they have done more for FFXIV then the first team ever did. They did it amongst heavy fire from Fans and critics alike no less.
