Long vacation is long.
Because people don't want to. As simple as that. Especially when others don't have the same mind set as you. Some people only like a specific type and class they want to play. This includes crafts and gathering. You can't expect everyone to want to jump on every single job. If someone doesn't like to heal, why would they spend so much time to lvl a healer? Or tank, or dps... Just cause it's there doesn't mean people have to do it...
For sure, i hope they are having a good vacation time !
I'm still discovering FFXIV and it has become one of my favorite game already. Everyone needs a break, sometimes.
But then they can't rightly complain their isn't any content available. The game is designed with diversifying in mind. People who only wish to level a few classes have to accept their preference is not what FFXIV will cater towards, and therefore, they may feel there isn't enough content. Put simply, the game cannot possibly appease everyone. So far, one of the primary selling features is being able to level multiple classes with relative ease. They have little reason not to focus on that.
One can absolutely offer a suggestion to the devs (as they've told us in live letters, please post suggestions on the forums) that the game feels lacking in pve and other areas so they can improve it if needs be.
And the devs prefer complaints anyway, see said image:

So, to whoever it was saying "U ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT GAEM" to me in this thread, even the devs encourage it, "the silent leave first" and it's true, my friends don't care to post, and unsub quietly.
Anyway, they (the devs) said so themselves that they are dropping a dungeon per patch to add in new and never before seen content due to them being aware that certain areas are lacking and that is great that they realized that and are attempting to address the issue. :) Complaining is pointless yes, but offering suggestions which they ask us to can be very helpful. I look forward to the November patch, we will finally get more original content!!
Sucking up is usually seen as negative (NOT saying anyone who posts positive is sucking up, FYI, just a very small handful), people do it to me quite often..and I ignore them. Giving a sincere compliment or words of encouragement is one thing, but swearing that someone can do no harm or wrong and is perfect and then mocking those who do not agree with them (as someone did to me in this very thread) is just as toxic as bullying, IMHO.
Oh and then in turn bashes WoW devs passive aggressively. ^^; (again not you)
Suggestions, sure. But chances are people who only focus on a limited number of classes will never feel there's enough content on the basis they are ignoring a large portion of it. Of course, there is nothing wrong with them doing so, it just means they aren't the audience FFXIV tends to cater to.
Yet people feel they HAVE TO level all jobs as stated above. Then what? Will you use every single job for all the current content? if so, how will you be able to gear them all up to par, with how long it takes to get eso or savage gear? Even then, what will you even use any of that gear for, other than alex savage or just being able to say you got, said gear? The whole arguement over leveling all jobs definitely is something to do, but at the same time people don't want to, because they know they'll only use two or maybe even three different jobs.
Constructive criticism is absolutly fine, what I do have a problem with, is the people who either plainly says there is no content, leveling sucks, FATEs are boring, PVP is broken, Raids is a chore. I hardly ever see those people say exactly WHY they find X Content boring, broken, lacking etc as that just makes them sound to complain just for the sake of complaining
If my customers or boss comes to me and says I sucked at my job, without telling me exactly what I did wrong, I will never be able to figure out what/how I should improve upon. Does what I say make any sense at all?
Just saying Devs fix this game or I am quitting, will not improve the game whatsoever ;)
