Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

Pray tell, if people constantly measure the longevity of a piece of content by its relevancy to progression (by labeling content with inferior gear obsolete), what kind of content can possibly be "lasting" for a progression capped player?

I'm not surprised you don't name any content, because there IS no content that can fulfill those criteria. Don't be surprised if SE doesn't manage to please that, it's not possible.

The very game being discussed here did for a good 7-8 years... Certain gear acquired earlier could be relevant all the way to the level cap. And elder gear was modified to become stronger and stronger as newer more powerful gear came along.

SE has fulfilled that criteria, just not in this game so much....

I don't want gear or content being super relevant for 7-8 years or the lifespan of a game. But there is a middle place between the 3-6 months recycle and lifespan relevancy.
