They can - in terms of quality of service to the end user. Ultimately, that's all that matters to the customer. You can give 'em all the reasons for why it can't be done, but they don't give a shit as to why it can't be done - they give a shit about what the fuck you're gonna do about it.
Right now, SE isn't doing anything about it. Which is why there's angry people.
Precisely! As consumers, our main concern shouldn't be trying to find ways to forgive SE for falling short of various industry standards; it should be holding SE up to those standards at minimum.

It's the weird-ass FFXI-indoctrinated people, I'm sure. The people who cannot fathom ever using more than one character because you can do everything on one character. That combined with their blind faith in their Chosen God SquareEnix creates some pretty ridiculous opinions.
You never saw alt-hate and strange beliefs about character data in WoW because Blizzard actually has good servers and population policies, and alts are not just expected but even encouraged by the community.
The FFXIV community is really, really weird.
