Will SE pull a blizzard?

But there wasn't any content droughts. There is more than enough content in each patch to last until the next patch and more.

And I understand that you and more people felt that there was a content drough because I did too. But it wasn't because a lack of content, it was because a lack of interesting content for me.
I don't do crafting, it's not interesting for me. Should I ask for all crafting content to be scraped out for the dev team to only do what I like? All the crafters would say no.
This is what I wanted to point out.

There are many players that would disagree with this statement, in fact it's currently being debated right now.

Perhaps "drought" is too strong of a word, however the nature of the game's vertical progression does render a large amount of content obsolete by design and in some cases it happens not long after it's released, Bismark Ex, The Diadem, and Lords of Verminion if not most of the Gold Saucer content releases are some of the biggest examples of this, it's especially an issue if a player is staying current with content releases.

The game is designed on a strict ladder. Once you've reached the highest available rung anything added below that even if it's enjoyable doesn't contribute further to the progression of your character and more often than not isn't even needed to be done more than a handful of times before it is rendered near useless for a large number of players, It obviously doesn't feel this way to anyone still progressing from the ground up however as they'll feel they have plenty to do.

Whether you want to refer to the long periods where this happens as a "drought" is up to you, but players are unsubscribing from the game during these periods and the majority of them aren't coming back.
