Will the model of content change in 4.0?

[vigioX-Sun]

A lot of the criteria makes sense, specially to those who been playing the game since 2010..
Here I am with almost 1100 days subs or more doing the same thing,I leave the game time to time because of how boring it gets(still never cancel my subs), an the lack of motivation because you could work hard very very hard an all your efforts will be gone in 60 to 90 days an whatever you accomplish will be 50% more easy,
why do I feel that everything has a wall in the game...
I'm really looking forward to 4.0 but it is my final judgment if I'm gonna keep playing the game or not. I will decide that in the first 2 patches, if the past become the present then I guess nothing really change an is time to move on.

Yeah I'm pretty bored at the moment. The whole Heavensward cycle was ARR all over again. I only logged in after a patch. Played the story did every dungeon and Trial and Raid once and left until the next patch because the content wasnt long lasting.

This. Please.

Every patch I find myself blowing through the content in about a day or two and then I'm just stuck with expert which is the same two dungeons for 3 months or something that becomes an unfun grind until my eyeballs want to tear themselves out and run away. I'm seeing more and more people unsubbing a week after a new patch because there's really just nothing fun to do/anything with longevity except the same stuff that has been in the game since 2013. Really beginning to worry that Stormblood content cycles are going to be another copy/paste from ARR/HW.

Just to add little extra:
Dungeons are not dungeons...but bridges.

At least he tried though.

And his attempt led to among the biggest collapses in gaming history. People seem to forget Yoshida does not control the franchising. He has openly expressed wanting to do yearly expansions. Square Enix allocates a budget and he's forced to work within it. A new director or keeping anyone on as an adviser won't make a lick of difference should SE veto ideas or decide they don't want to spend additional funds. Keep in mind, FFXIV basically prints money despite being "safe." That isn't to say current model isn't flawed, but the blame doesn't necessarily fall on Yoshida.

As for me, Im really afraid, that in 4.0 the model will be almost the same

Yoshida doesn't understand (or maybe understand), that all this time we didn't get a new content each patch, we got the same content, but just in another wrapping

Will Yoshida feed us again by all this old content or not... Lets hope

I'm not blaming Yoshida or Tanaka or whoever for anything in this Game. Im only criticising the state of the game at the moment.

WARNING: THIS IS A XYNO THREAD.
ADJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS ACCORDINGLY.
Will the model of Xyno threads change in 4.0 or will it be the same? Boring, predictable, without something new?

Why does this guy get bullied when he just asked a perfectly legit question?
it was for the like's wasn't it?

infact looking at all his past threads they all spark discussion, but one mistake in past posts makes everyone go full reddit mode.
I'm also legit concerned that 4.0 is just going to be 3.0 with a coat of paint and maybe some minor improvements.

Because XIV is a special snowflake, is perfect as is and how dare any lowborn peasant even SUGGEST changes be made to the content being provided.

The nerve.

Because XIV is a special snowflake

Its community certainly is.

The main problem of the vivid videogame fanboys- they let the game degrade. They tell "everything is fine, we love the game, don't change anything", the developers listen... they listen... and listen. But fanboys lie. They don't know, that they lie, because the love to the game doesn't let them see the problems, which the game has, the ways to solve the problems, the love doesn't let them to criticize the game. The game begins to degrade

The other problems of fanboys- the extreme protection of the game from the people, who DARE to criticize. These people will be destroyed, because no one can criticize the object of the fanboys's love

The developers listen, they are calm and safe. The game degrade
