Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

[Leonus]

Because people either have too much free time on their hands or they don't value it so they waste it with boring grind busywork in a game that is meant to entertain.

Humans are irrational creatures. Do not ask for a logical foundation to their behavior.

If people really, and truly valued their free time, no one would be wasting it on video games at all. People would use that time to truly better themselves as people in their everyday lives. Please do not speak as though you are much better, as we all play this game and in that sense, we are all wasting our time.


As for everyone else, there is no amount of content that they can add that will not get stale after 1 month of being accessible. Point. Blank. Period. Hell, things get stale after you still do things after the first 10 times, I don't see how people think adding all new content to grind makes it that much better, at most it buys you a week of content feeling new before people start calling it old.

That is how fast people burn what is put out, example, Thordan Ex. If it's not beaten within a month, people cry that it's to hard and that it's time/gear gated.

If people are bored/upset, unsubscribe and go do something else. I've taken probably 9-11 months off of the game during my entire time of playing XIV, don't see why others can't do the same.
