Umbrellas...? And less content...?

I just want punch job to be better so I can be out in the world punching things all day long.

It’s gonna be more Eureka. Nothing they have done so far has proven otherwise.

If I look at the content released for 5.1 as a pattern for future content (and it looks like 5.2 will be similar) then the future looks bleak for the more casual players:

• 24 man raid: content you usuall run only once or twice a week for the coin and maybe the glamor piece of the week
• Ex trial: a trial so overtuned (and designed that way) that's it very, very hard to PUG it. You only needed to look at the PF during the first few weeks to see how popular that was.
• Ultimate: favoritism content for the minority of the minority of players
• Crafting overhaul: that was actually needed long ago
• Ishgard restauration: a 2 week one-trick pony that only is used for leveling crafters now
• PvP: you only need to look at the queues to see how popular that content is
• BLU stuff: another throw-away piece of content. I can gurantee you that in 4 weeks you will never find other players to complete your spell book unless you pester your friends.

Like we got more casual content when they already killed two dungeons in the expansions before that? Honestly I will only be fine with the decrease of a dungeon if we get more content for the majority..if its just another Ultimate or Eureka like niche content then I wont like that. SE please dont exchange casual content for niche content. Let us have something fun for everyone.

But I am looking forward to Umbrellas as long as they are not behind a paywall or a huge amount of grind..seeing where they put the some of the requested mounts I am remaining skeptical.

That title is pretty exaggerated... more contet in exchange for one dungeon now hmmm which is better.

Oh boi, count me in :D (if only, if only...)

But doesn't 1 dungeon per patch mean more dungeons. Cause 5.15 and 5.17 and so on those kinda things are patches to.

I don't think they meant minipatches, just say 5.1, 5.2, etc

I get second hand shivers from seeing my poor WoL half drowned in the heavy rain of Eastern Thanalan. I'd love to pop one open on the spot.

Umbrella should have been a weapon for a potential Meteorologist job.
