Only looking at something to complain or be 'offended' about, and in this case not even waiting to experience the content before once again starting up the negative bandwagon.
Not really that, just an expression of basically "we've been waiting this long, and this is it?"

I've let my sub lapse, currently playing ESO, and guess what... between 3.35 and 3.4 of FFXIV, i have completely leveled 1 character, still have yet to complete a lot of the content, and when i read about the 3.4 content coming my thought was...guess i'll just wait until 4.0 before even trying coming back. Seriously, it is an incredibly long time between content patches and there is little to show for it. The MSQ is really the best thing to look forward to, but i doubt that will even be that "full" of content. Will most likely be 4-5 quests and that will be that. I'm not entirely sure how you can go months upon months designing interm content and it comes out to just a couple quests.

If they are structured correctly, there should be a design team for MSQ, design team for side quests, team for dungeons and possibly raids lumped together. If they have multiple design teams, there is no reason there should not be more content than what is being delivered. Maybe they put like 80% of their resources into creating the next full expansion, but then it should be so huge that when chopped up into the 4.X patches there is enough content to last a couple months before being worn out. With the way it is now, unless you are raiding savage, you simply outgrow the content in just a few weeks. Playing just for reset to roll around so that you can get a new piece of gear even though you have cleared all the content is not a grind that will keep players coming back. Having such a large amount of content, and a progressively increasing in difficulty so that you HAVE to get that extra piece to down it would be a better way.
