No, there's just no reason to be constantly pessimistic and cynical for absolutely no reason about everything they do when anyone who actually takes a second to think about the situation will know that it's pretty common for MMO designers to "reuse" content, especially if their MMO switches hands either managerial or company wise.

So although it is new to most players, it was not newly created. And since my point was that SE doesn't seem to be developing much new content, then I feel my point still stands.
This is assuming you have info that no one else has -- 2007 - 2009 in FFXI had almost zero content updates due to XIV's production, however right as it finished, we started to get a lot of content in quick succession and 2010/rest of 2011 is having a ton of additions, stuff that you can't just do in a week and call it a day -- it clearly has been in production for some time, and as said, XI's crew is small, especially given how SE is pushing to get XIV off the ground, this is why I say understaffing has nothing to do with it, it has everything to do with how they need to fix this game rather than expand it, and using stuff that was already present is a good way to do both.
