Excuses & Daily Updates

I wouldn't call it defending since if you've played since Alpha it's ok to admit the game actually improved since then and especially since release, it just hasn't gotten any content. The current content isn't enough to satisfy everyone as guildleves were described to be the content for people who have a little time to play...however the game released with only said content so it's easy to understand what some people could mean by "the game has lots of content" because by definition, guidleves, sidequests and the main story arc is content, but it's subjective, because people only deem "dungeons" and raids as content.

I know it doesn't take me 20 minutes to clear my inventory like it did at beta and release and I know the game actually registers my actions unlike it did at release..so the game is improving, but I don't think anyone is defending by saying it's getting better because it is for all intents in purposes.

I guess it depends on when you started playing the game. I've been playing since launch so I have seen some changes of course. I mean, I still remember trying to find items without the market ward item search. Heck, that was a gigantic improvement alone. But as someone that has been playing since release, I've just got fed up with continuously waiting for a game to improve that was wrong from the beginning. I mean, who releases a game with a gigantic market ward system with retainers for each player... and then don't add in an item search? Just confuses me. How could they forget such a vital thing to an mmo and to a game in general? Even logic would side with an item search... when there is lots of items...

Anyway, regardless I'm still a fan of FFXIV. I know it had potential to be amazing, still does. Just something went wrong along the lines. I think they rushed the release to be honest.
