Dont engage the people who're just comming here to complain and moan. They get off on complaining, and the sun is more likely to turn into a black hole, then these people are to stop complaining and whining over things that are more often then not incredibly premature

I didn't even bother this time. Not the first time a thread like this has appeared. It has appeared multiple times already, with the release of each content patch. People just can't seem to differentiate between "no new content" and "there are new content but they are just not what I am interested in". I avoided this thread so far but with the release of the preliminary patch notes and people still complaining, it just confirms that they will never be satisfied.

My opinion just differs those are just gaming features to me but to each their own. Like I've said throughout this thread the original post said this patch is empty and I agree.

That's your opinion and your allowed to have it.

However my opinion is that there is content. it might not be what OP or YOU expected, but there's content, like the 24man for instance.

Is this nonsense of a thread still going? Preliminary patch notes come out yesterday and there's enough to keep you busy enough.

Lock this thread as it is going no where.

You realize more threads will just be made for this patch alone, and more will keep BEING made with each and every patch, right? Let the doomsayers and naysayers try to shout over one another until their faces turn every shade of purple and blue. Come on, the rest of us have a game to enjoy.

Stop reading the thread if it bothers you so much. There's no actual rule breaking, so the best way to kill this thread is to be the change you want to see and stop posting here.

It's not about if I like it or not. It's about that it doesn't contribute to ANYTHING positive to the community. Hence no use for it.

Wow how mature to personal attack people because they are not happy with content..completely ignoring that even Yoshida once pointed out that criticism is way more valuable than compliments..I also visit threads that are about interesting ideas and if I like something in the game I will point that out too..yet I will also post about something that I dislike.

Also if you go into a thread and complain about the complainers you are just doing the same thing as us and at the same time you keep the thread alive too.

You know its completely fine if you like the game how it is right now. There is nothing wrong with that..but people are allowed to dislike something too and should not be attacked for that opinion..Both sides can sometimes be a bit too much but in this thread alone most of the aggressive and insulting comments comes from the side that like the patch..why is that necessary? Yes the OP might have overdid it with his title but there is still no reason to attack someone over it. Just write your arguments about the subject itself and not about the people posting it..

Also if you have more and more such threads with quite the amount of likes then maybe there is a reason for that? Yes there will be never enough content to make everyone happy but other than the new PVP mode what content of the new patch will stay for a long time? The one dungeon and the raid will be done in one or two days and after that they are just there to get loot and as soon as people have that they will probably barely run it anymore. Ultimate is only for a very specific kind of people thus the majority will never truly see that one in this expansion. Housing is for only a small amount of people too and things like glamour and hair is truly no long living content. Its nice to have but nothing that will keep most people logged in for months. (Other than horrible RNG numbers to get them x)) Really the only cosmetic stuff that might make people play for a longer time are the pets and mounts, depending where to get them.

So what content is in this patch that will keep people playing it for months which on top of that is also new? Well the only one is probably PVP and that is only more popular right now thanks to the exp it gives and seeing all the problems with bots in the old ones, one could argue how long people will truly play it and how many. I would be fine if they introduced more ways to challenge oneself with older content. Like having certain achievements for running certain dungeons with kind of "rules". This would keep people playing even older content. Yes even those things are probably not for everyone but really what is there in this patch for the casual crowd that wants to play more PvE in a PvE focused game?

@Mature: You do kinda know that you yourself also once started a thread where you disliked something that SE did? Yet that was fine but if someone starts a thread about something you enjoy its bad? Really if this was that bad for the community the mods would have already closed it after some pages. (And posting those lines in it does keep it on page one and thus alive, so you are kinda doing the exact opposite of what you want to happen x))

And yet here you are...contributing even less by not only complaining about something that contributes nothing, but adding to the problem by refreshing the thread and popping it back up to the front page.

You do know that there is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and there is moaning right? I can give you a very clear example here of the difference between this pointless thread and this one below.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forum.php#threads/342315

And again like I mentioned before there is ENOUGH content in this game to keep everyone busy but yet again we keep getting:

"There's nothing to do cause there is nothing I WANT to do"

Sorry the game is not carter for one but for the whole community and DOESN'T give you the right to MOAN but provide a constructive solutions... something that doesn't happen here.

I do think this is the patch I've been least excited about since starting FF. I'll definitely try Rival Wings, but I can give or take the rest now, I am at such a disconnect with the Story of SB (mostly because I don't care about Lyse and they constantly shove her down our throats)
