A plea from a raider to the development team- 8 months is too much
I love this game, I really do. I've played it since launch and I have tried to enjoy everything that's come out. I've done Zeta relic and never whined about it since I enjoy a grind, I've enjoyed playing Tripple triad and chocobo racing. I even enjoy doing quest I've missed because I love reading the story and learning that much more about the world.
All that said though, I really enjoy raiding. I love main tanking and going one on one with some of those big bosses and feeling like I'm accomplishing stuff.... But it's kinda rough for raiders and I was wondering if this could be handled a bit better in the expansion or something.
By the time Heavensward launches it'll have been roughly 8 months since the last raid content patch. I try to enjoy everything, but as someone who raids and gets plenty of gear that way, something like World of Darkness doesn't help me much since I have little reason to do it much more then when a friend wants to go or something. I'm not whining about it, I think that content should be there, it helps a lot of players and lets a lot of people get enjoyment out of the game! But for a raider, it's really rough to have not much added in that patch for us, at all.
I'm not saying there's not enjoyment to be had, and I'm not saying the flip side isn't true for people who don't raid, but can we find a better balance then making one side wait EIGHT MONTHS for new content? I mean it might be fine if it took us more then an hour or two to clear a week but it's only four bosses, and the last two don't even have trash! I mean the WoD dungeons atleast get flair and interesting lead ups and laugh time or something, but it's mostly just fights for an hour and then we're done as raiders.
I know it shouldn't matter a ton according to some people. Go play something else or whatever, right? And I can agree with you on that, but that kidna causes cracks to form in otherwise solid groups. Some people don't play as much, some people want to play more, and one side can get upset at the other, I'm seeing it happen all around in multiple groups!
I'm not asking for a huge change, just not eight months for content! Please!
