4.25 and beyond

[Voltyblast]

Can't forget about Ultimate, the next fight for which is scheduled for 4.3 and they'd ideally want to release another every odd patch from now. Also more elaborate MSQ solo duties and, apparently, the glamour toilet. Those were named explicitly, so you can point fingers here.

I sometimes wish there was a sticky with all interviews somewhere.

Ultimate is a fight that less than 1% of the entire player base will attempt, especially when content will become obsolete when the new one arrives a few months afterward, so I'm not sure what are you trying to imply here.
If content at least lasted more than one patch cycle, raids would last far more than now. Primals last a lot longer not because of the gear or the fights (especially some are godawful. Remember Zurvan?), but because of the mount rewards they give. Normal raids give nothing but (eventually) worthless loot that will be replaced with the new tomestone gear for nothing almost. Again, it takes effort to make content that lasts long.

More elaborate MSQ seems good until you forget that they're a one time affair that once done, it's done forever, which is kind of a shame because there is main quest scenario roulette, and yet we only got two fights so far. You could fill the bloody thing with all sorts of solo and mini fights to "relive" them important msq scenes but nope, just castrum and Praetorium. And I'm sure people got sick and tired of doing them.

And glamour "toilet"...oh right, thanks for reminding because, while a nice addition, it only allows 200 items for now. I don't follow the forums (I've only returned for a month, been off since 4.1) but how are they going to be expanded? I only ask because, before the release of the dresser, the only way to keep their glamour was through Retainers, and retainers only have so much space: it was their gimmick for forcing us to rent more space. Now that the need is gone, how's gonna be done? If you know I'd like to know it too. And no, your link doesn't explain it because "The changes are so gigantic that it would probably take an hour to explain everything. If we were to discuss it even partially, it would just be the tip of the iceberg anyway[...]

Do I have to say more? Sure, how about hunts still being as obsolete and basically the same since 2.3? No innovation, no improvement, same fluff: nobody does it anymore because it's a bore. What about any improvements of FATEs and how trash they currently are? Not that they were any good from the start, but you'd think that some improvements would be done eventually - and no Square Enix, an exp boost is not a fix. Or how about all these giant, big and great ares are still void of actual content to do? Why not add world bosses? Why not add new stuff in them? Why not make these big worlds riddled with content? They are void and pointless and this was also back in HW mind you. ARR zones were small but were much more filled with content (for the time at least), so how about stuff like that?

And please, save yourself from telling me "then don't play the game if you don't like it", because in 2 weeks I'm gone anyway.
