I was compelled to create my character on an unwanted data center, with a home world transfer barred for 90 days. Subsequently, I was sent back to Dynamis for a month, with the promise of travel resuming upon the release of 'Savage', which two weeks late already. Now, I'm still forced to remain in Dynamis, isolated, due to the non-reinstatement of data center travel. It's unreasonable to expect my friends to transfer here en masse; it's unfair to them and puts me in an awkward position. Currently, I'm facing 40-minute queues for data center travel just to purchase leather for crafting, which is frankly unacceptable. I've decided not to renew my subscription because my 'Savage' group has replaced me with someone from their own data center, Aether, to maintain their free company buffs and reduced gear wear. Now, I'm expected to use the party finder with strangers, which is not an option for me. I feel let down by these circumstances, and the fact that Square Enix has been ignoring the majority.The issue of pre-purchasing Dawntrail along with all previous expansions, yet not receiving access to the content despite owning the licenses, has been extremely detrimental to my progression and happiness. Six weeks of my 'road to 80/90' buff have been completely wasted due to what appears to be corporate greed and corruption, as it seems there was an attempt to coerce players like myself into purchasing the expansions again to gain access.
Square Enix seems to be disregarding their customers, appearing uninformed and disingenuous. I'm not the naive demographic of young gamers they seem to be targeting with their game—a game that may not even appeal to or retain these new players. It seems like a misguided attempt to increase game sales at the expense of loyal subscribers. 'Dawntrail' has been a significant disappointment in the history of FFXIV. I would prefer to lose an auction for my mansion as the sole bidder to a bid #0 than to endure this situation. This feedback is not intended to disparage Square Enix but to express legitimate grievances. I'm frustrated, and justifiably so, as this game is a significant part of my life, and recent changes have adversely affected my experience. Goodbye Square Enix, and I hope you stub your toe on every possible thing you can.
Sincerely, Payne
