I thought the downfall of most MMO's was trying to cater to people who played 10+ hours a day.
I've reached "end game" two weeks ago, the only disappointng thing is how easy it is for some people to ruin the game for the rest.
All of these threads can be summed up with this:
The game is 2 months old. Stop expecting 3 years worth of content at launch.
Just because you THINK other games had more to do, doesn't mean they actually did. Human's perceptions of things is not accurate at all, especially if they have some confirmation bias going on. If you dislike the game, just stop playing. Prove to SE that they have made a deficient game by cancelling your subscription. Don't just cry about how bad it is, SHOW THEM how bad you think it is. As long as you are giving them money, they assume you are OK with how the game is, since they can't read everyone's feedback.
The only reason I can think of for posting all these whine threads is to try and convince other players to think the game sucks as much as you think it sucks. Stop playing, stop giving them money, and your point will be heard, loud and clear.
I don't know why people act surprised or even not expect brand new released MMOs to lack content, they ALL do when 1st released. This is not new. you either stick it out and find other stuff to do or you do what every other fair weather fan does, quit untill next patch after you have over spammed the content till you cap gear.
MMOs are not really made for people who spend 14+ hours a day playing, of course you will run out of "stuff" to do. because you play to much.
The problem I keep seeing in these threads is people comparing XIV to when they started the MMOs they reference. Considering the language of this forum in particular, that's not really comparing like-aged MMOs. A popular comparison is XI, people touting how it had alot of content at launch compared to XIV. This is wholly untrue as XI didn't launch how people seem to think it did. It LAUNCHED in Japan on the PS2 with no expansions to speak of. It was RELEASED outside of Japan over a year later, months after the launch of it's first expansion Rise of the Zilart. We, right now, are in that period between the launch of XIV and the release of it's first expansion. Of course there's not alot of end game content, they didn't have alot of leeway to make it given how busy they were remaking the game Tanaka tried to force-feed us.
People that want everything right now. Buying a new cell phone every year because somehow the Iphone 5 is that much better than Iphone 4 (cause apple says so!) Having the accumulated knowledge of man at the tips of your fingers, everything just a google away, kids that get a new console every other year, all new games come out with DLC within weeks of releasing, F2P MMO's, disposable facebook games, its all the RIGHT FREAKING NOW generation, and THATS whats ruining games (and society). No one takes the time to enjoy anything anymore... and worst of all, instead of just unsubbing the OP feels the need to make the forums his twitter account and tell us every feels he has about life and this game. There is nothing to see here, move along.
