4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

[Laerune]

All I'm seeing is a lot of people that are feeling that entitlement bug again lol let's be real for a min SE didn't need to give us patches every 2 to 3 months but they do to progress the story and to give us new content and there is a lot of content in this patch is there as much as past patches no but that's ok I meet we are starting a new patch cycle type with the 1 2 1 2 dungeon line up give it some time this expansion is still new and quality content takes time to produce

But if they didnt give us patches every 2-3 months, then players would just stop playing, which means SE does not get money. This is business, if SE does not deliver content, people wont subscribe, if we dont subscribe, SE does not get money. Please do not think SE is this benevolent creature that creates this patches, so you can have stuff to do. SE is a company and the patches are part of customer retention.

PS: They are customers (they are entitled) who paid for the expansion, in the hopes that SE delivers content, if they think that SE is not doing this, they have a right to complain on the forums.

But the reality is not that content is not coming, but that they don't like what's coming and the truth is that they would've complained regardless
The comparison to most of life of FFXI and patch 2.1, which can be considered the foundation of the game as it enstabloished most of what the game would be, are used to fuel the narrative that this patch will be empty because it lacks eureka and relics(it lacks more but it's not important)heck some said it has less than 3.1, but it's about the same only on 3.5 months instead of 5.
Another point ppl say is that this patch lacks lasting content, but that is a general problem of FFXIV not really of only this patch and tbh Eureka and relics probably won't fix that either
I don't want to say that complaining it's wrong, but we should see past our bias when we give suggestions and feedback
