Look at rift which had a solid release and had 2million subscribers a week after its release and at this time it has like 2.5million. I realize you guys don't want wow and thats FINE no one is saying this game is going to be like Wow I'm just saying take the good stuff from other mmo's and implement them. I realize development takes time, but development shouldn't take 7 months for a few ui changes.
It's you who is failing to understand. I understand that the community is frustrated with the state of the thing, but it's not as simple as just, "Wah! Put mounts in! We demand it." You are overlooking some FUNDAMENTAL and UNQUESTIONABLE facts in your assumptions and that is why you are being perceived as a troll.

1. IT HASN'T BEEN 7 MONTHS

This is a favored statistic amongst trolls. "Wha?! You've had 5 years of development and 7 months since launch!" This is BS. Everyone knows or SHOULD know that the CURRENT dev team has only been on since Jan 1. Does that excuse the state of the game? No. But there are other issues at play here as well.

2. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE

Also another favored saying amongst trolls. "The stuff they have done isn't enough!" We've had way more than just 'UI Fixes' since Jan. Period. And hiring more people won't help when the dev team is focusing on other priorities.

3. IT IS EASY TO IMPLEMENT

You have no possible way of knowing that. Yes they may have part of these transportation systems in place but we have no idea what the current state is of the entire system. The current Dev team has BIGGER priorities. Not only have they accomplished what they have in 3 months (Subtracting one for the disaster), they are also REDESIGNING IT. They are changing the BATTLE SYSTEM, THE CRAFTING SYSTEM, THE COMPANIES SYSTEM, MAPS, AND THE JOB SYSTEM. That is almost 100% of the game that is being redesigned by the new dev team and your biggest complaint is that you don't have chocobos?

This is why people have labeled you a troll. We have heard the same thing a hundred times before. They aren't going to cave and put in Chocobos and Airships when their main focus is fixing the game from the ground up.
