4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Today I learned that if you aren't happy with what Square Enix is putting out content-wise, you are "spoiled" and "entitled."

It seems like many people who are shouting "unsubscribe" haven't considered the fact that those expressing concerns actually really like this game. I personally care about the breadth of content because I want to continue to be engaged. I'm not going to sit here and start doomsaying, but I don't think there is anything wrong with expressing disappointment at what is shaping up to be a lackluster patch.

Most haven't taken umbrage to complaints in general. In fact, I'd actually agree that 4.1 isn't offering a whole lot. What some have been irked by is the vitriol towards Ultimate-- a rehash of primarily old mechanics reused with numbers scaled up. Why? Because it's the first raid exclusive content released in over a year that is intended to challenge the hardcore crowd. Put another way, stop blaming us for SE's sparse content update this patch. And stop demanding they take away a mode we may like because you (generalizing) won't. I think Perform is a complete waste of resources, but I'm not here complaining they did that instead of adding something else.

Forgot UI changes as well as Sleipnir flying and the broom getting animations for flight. Two additions that have been heavily requested.

It's not so much the concern as the outright dismissal of things being added, albeit not to people's liking, are being told to others, and pushed on others as an ideal, that resources for development were wasted. Those are the spoiled and entitled people. Literally, we are still getting 1 extreme primal, 1 dungeon, 1 set of beastman dailies, 1 24 man raid, increased map dungeon, more story; this is literally almost all of the majority of the player base could want. The "spoiled" and "entitled" just want more. Seriously, it's like being offered two cookies, slapping the hand offering said cookies and screaming they want more while simultaneously saying that not enough is the same as nothing new.

Yes, we're not getting much in terms of overall playable content, but we are getting some as well as quality of life changes based on player feedback. These changes also require development time and resources. How people treat this, fixing bugs is a waste of development and resources because it doesn't give you anything new to do, right?

Yeah, it's a shame that some things got pushed back, but SE has their reasons, whatever they may be. I don't care that people are complaining - people always complain over something - it's just the blatant attitude toward "no content!" because some don't like what is coming, or isn't coming.

Quoted for truth.
