SE takes a month to add one small UI change like this for example, Mobs will now have red near there name which indicates aggro.

Look guys I want this game to succeed, but with a fanbase like the people in this thread xiv is doomed forever due to the stupidity :P of everyone who disagree's with me. Now I realize you may disagree with me, but once again your just all in denial :P don't worry though it happens to all of us. One day you'll realize that xiv for a 2011 mmo is absolutely dreadful. I mean Rift had a solid launch it started with end game and everything and its amazing. Yet XIV which has been out almost a year can't even release a mount system. If they have trouble releasing something as simple as mounts then wheres the promise they'll be able to actually add content fast enough when the actual end game comes out? Also this is why I think SE should just close xiv and start over. Make a game that looks like Aion and has beautiful terrain. Graphics don't make a game beautiful the terrain and the open world does. WoW looks 1000x better then xiv will anyday.

Anyways Like I was saying if its been 7months and the team still can't add something like mounts how do you expect them to release end game content fast enough for people to enjoy when everyone finishes it? Once again the main problem with the developers making this game was the graphics they had. They pushed it to the limit so now its hard to add new things. They got to scratch it entirely if they want any hope of reviving their name which actually died before 14, but we'll get into that matter another day.

Frist you say that rift has endgame at launch, there is absolutly no point in this for a game that takes months to get level 50, any games company wants to make profit out of a game asap, if it takes 3 months to write endgame and it they suspect it will take 3 months to to get rank 50 it doesnt take a rocket scientist to realise the logical thing to do. The problem is SE didnt realise how impatiant the western world is who for some reason wanted to do endgame at rank 1 so the logical course of action backfired.

Also 7 months is not a year, what you dont seem to understand is because they rushed the launch of the game they are rebuilding it, if the code isnt properly commented (i dont know if it is or isnt) the smallest jobs take alot of time.

Also in your post you are contradicting yourself, you say about how long it takes for content, then say because they pushed it to the limit its hard to add new things, only an idiot would not know if somthing is hard it takes longer to implement.

when I am playing on my i5 laptop, i admit my graphics card is fully loaded, but the cpu isnt, any graphics overhaul could affect my laptop, but the content that has been announced would mainly load my cpu more and make my laptop have to make more calculations which it can handle.

Everything you list as "small" fixes really arent, chocobos for example need to be implemented in the stables, thats adding code to the chocobo stables, also an npc to rent em and take gil, then programming in all zones to say where they can and cant go, and (if they want) to implement a time limit on how long you can ride them for which isnt as small as you make it look.

You constantly compare FFXIV to WoW, Rift and Aion, 2 of which have been out for years and have had time to fix any flaws also didnt WoW currently undergo a huge graphics overhaul? the only game you can compare it it to that you listed is Rift, because thats a recently launched game, it seems like these are the only mmos you have played which is why you want a hybrid of these 3 games.

Finally, you are the only person I have seen say WoW's graphics that look like they have been drawn like a 6yr old are better than ffxiv.

Basicly you do want the game to fail and you also want the final fantasy franchise to fail no matter what you say about wanting the game to succed, i could imagine if they made a WoW/Aion/Rift clone the game would fail, people that are playing now like the game but they do realise it has huge flaws, if they want to play WoW, Aion or Rift they would play those not expect FFXIV to be a hybrid of the 3 of them.
