Did anyone here even play FFXIV? I think people need to chill out with the whole game is failing thing. There is more hate here than there was on the FFXIV forums and that game was so bad that they stopped billing people, fired almost the whole team that worked on it, and are rebuilding it from the ground up with a new engine.

Do you know what end-game FFXIV had? World bosses, and only a few of them.

Official forums did not come out until months after release.

The story in FFXIV ended around level 30 (max level is 50) and didn't even wrap up. You had a path companion that you, thankfully, only saw in a few story missions. The AI was horrible.

Mounts wern't added until about 1 year after launch. Walking was the only means of traversing zones. Try walking to your quests on Alderaan without using taxis, speeders, or even sprint.

Crafting and gathering was so grindy and boring that people were labeled masochists for having even one of them at level 50.

They finally added dungeons around 6 months after launch. Two of them. One of them for mid levels the other for max characters. The boss in the end-game one being bugged for a month.

Holiday events were horrible.

Near the end of the last year they released a pamphlet detailing the future of FFXIV 2.0 and promised things were getting better. Based on a few pictures and promises, they reinstated billing even though FFXIV 2.0 wouldn't be implemented until 2013. That's right, over a year of painfully slow updates and fixes to a horrible game and they feel they can bill people just because they released a road-map full of promises that people won't even know will be fulfilled until 2013.

You think the first content patch coming out days before the free month is over is bad on SWTOR? Try not releasing the revamped classes and job system that they've been promising for months and months until after they reinstate payment.

I could go on, but you get the picture. SWTOR is doing well enough, the road may be bumpy but it's far off from being a failure.

Now let's take a moment and thank FFXIV for letting us know the true meaning of fail.
