But to actually address all your points :
They are, things take time to create.
They did. 1.17 added what, 20 NMs? All of which have their own specific gear drops. Beastmen already drop special currency.
This is one of your only half-decent arguments. There's not a lot of variety in the game but I figure that's coming eventually.
The armor isn't 100% recolors. Different tiers of the same type of clothing are similar but have their differences in the details. Even colors are more vibrant on the higher tier stuff.
They're already doing this. Do you read any of the dev posts, interviews or letters from the producer?
They're already doing this. I think you're making mountains out of molehills with the speed of the updates.
The graphics are fine, it's the diversity of some of the environment that's lacking. Something I'm sure they'll address eventually.
Even a "small thing" like this takes a bit of time to create.
See: achievements (above)
We arguably don't even need an AH at this point. Mailbox would be nice but it's a luxury feature.
Some people actually like the game as it is but can see there is room for improvement. No game is perfect and this one certainly has it's flaws but they're being addressed.
It's been 7 months, just a little over half a year. We'll have them eventually, they just have more pressing matters to attend to.
Yeah because we want to wait another 5+ years for him to go play all those games to end-game and come back and make a WoW-clone. Great idea!
I don't see why we need this really.
They're going to. Have you ever looked at a map of Eorzea? We don't have access to quite a few areas just on this continent, let alone the few new ones they've been hinting at recently.
You can do this now. Solo isn't as viable as group play but it really shouldn't be. Honestly though you can grind and make decent progress if you know what you're doing.
I'd say 2 updates a month is pretty great speed for a game to be updated. Most other MMOs I've played take over 3 months between updates.
