FFXIV is the new era of MMORPGs - [Watch AMV]

Using the same environment and assets saves them tons of work. AKA, its the easy way out to add content. And thus, my statement holds about them not working so hard. If they were, we'd get entirely new content, not rehashing of old content. Taking the existing dungeon, changing the path and monsters is not what I'd call working hard.

A lot of the work they do is sloppy and poorly implemented (Hunts), and the rest is taking something fun (GW2 Vista's) and making it into something annoying and "unfun" (SE adds weather and time requirements to it and shoves it out the door).

They add new crafting things that are only doable by those who are filthy rich, preventing players without a small fortune from participating. They add nice new swimsuits, then lock them behind ultra rare chances to get, whereas other MMO's make such things easy, and fun to get.

I stand by my comments. SE may be working, but I dont see it as working hard with how much re-use they do of old material, and they certainly dont put out a lot of good content when they keep making every little thing a grind or exclusive to the filthy rich.

If you want original content every patch with a lot of depth then you'd have to compromise on the speed at which they release it but then you'd complain that they don't release it fast enough. Your type just can't be pleased.

You're just another person with a total lack of knowledge on how much goes into programming and developing content yet will gladly play the clueless armchair developer. If you're unhappy about the game and you think it lacks quality, feel free to unsubscribe.

Thank you for explaining what "my type" is.

I'd be happier with less patches and better content FYI. You're not a very good mind reader so I'd give up now if I were you.

And I do know what goes into coding, I do it for a living btw, and reusing old code is the quick and easy way out. For a program, its a good use of time, for setting up a dungeon to explore, not so much. If you enjoy the same 5 course meal served with a different gravy and dessert and brought out in a different order, then enjoy. I'd like to see something new on the menu other than.. "HM Dungeon Rehash of the month".

Yes, they do add new content, but a lot of it is not good content is the thing. I'd love to see a hell of a lot less quantity and far more quality, oh, but wait, apparently, "my type" isnt that way... Gods I guess I dont know myself that well! </sarcasm>
