When I went to TigerDirect.com brick and mortar location today. They had a big flashy new gaming PC, running the promotions video of FF14 with a advertisement saying it could be picked up Tuesday and advertising the early access. While I was glancing at the video, 2 guys walked past grumbling about how the Early access was BS, and the problems going on and laughed about how it will be a small smear on the gaming radar, which is very real possibility, now.

I told this "Cool story Bro" because we should realize that SE is making a product that is accessible and welcoming to new players. New players have a fraction of the understanding or zeal that probably most of us do, being FF/MMORPG fans, following this game. I sincerely doubt that with these issues built upon the already bad reputation, anyone would bother to play this game, when there are plenty of alternatives.

I find it insulting at this point that the Producer of the game, seems to be flat out lying about fixes to problems, that he hypes 2.1 patch content while knowing the current game wont work, that there are incentives for purchasing 3 months out of the gate when they know it is not a working game.

Someone can only be disappointed so many times before it just doesn't matter anymore.
I am at that point unfortunately. Im going to log out, and just cancel the reservations.

I didn't write this for people to reply, just so that all the people defending SE will start to realize that if no one wants to come play the game because of the companies crap reputation, even when it is eventually fixed, how much fun will it be with your awesome weapons accomplishments in a dead game? Your just convincing yourself that your not getting shafted. That just how some people react to buyers remorse. Have fun everybody.
