I feel like it's more of a culmination of things that damaged the name. When you have 14 games in your series lineup, along with many spinoffs, a couple of fuck ups I can more or less accept, like I did with that interminable FFX-2, or Dirge of Cerberus. But with XIII and XIV both falling far below my expectations consecutively, it's pretty clear they are stagnating. No one is saying they need to follow WRPGs, they have their own problems to deal with, but at least take something from the MegaTen series, or some other frequently lauded RPG company.

The Wards are still cumbersome as all hell, but they're getting better. I would like to see an AH style instant purchase option though, rather than running through each ward looking for the materials I need to craft something, especially when I need several of them, and each one is in a different ward. Or even better, when I need several, and one more or isn't for sale, so I must get the materials for the goddamn material, which is even more items to search the wards for.

It's just very impractical, and not very user friendly.

At this rate, perhaps the horrendous failure XIV was at launch will be a blessing in disguise. They are very receptive to the needs of the players now that the future of the game hangs in the balance.

Very happy about the crafting changes, the interactive aspect of it made me enjoy the system more than any other crafting set up in any other MMO, but the flaws are painfully obvious.

I can make X item at Y level, however one of the materials involved requires me to be ten levels higher than what I am, and to top it off, the materials needed to make that material requires me to be a high level other craft. And don't even get me started on the color requirements.

It's just a massive goddamn headache, perhaps now I will be a bit more motivated to mash that Standard Synthesis button for several hours, mindlessly grinding levels.
