I won't talk about WoW Legion, since I haven't played it enough to have a solid opinion of it.

However this is a fact that S.E. decided to delay content so that players stay in the game, and this is really not a good thing. This is purely an artificial increase of the lifespan of the patch.

But what's really bothering me, is that they are treating players more and more like kids who can't behave themselves.

Gear with interesting stats or skills? : "To complex, players won't get it"
Parsers? : "They are to immatures, they will fight if we let them have this"
Full patch on release? : "They will just rush it. We need to let them do the patch at the speed we want".

Now, I do not know the average age of the player-base, but I will take a wild guess and say that the large majority of us are mature enough to gauge how much we want to play at a game. To spread the patch like that is just ridiculous.

I don't own SB and yet I still have plenty to do when I log in. Beast Tribe quests, leves and FATES for leveling my alt jobs. The Hunt for seals to buy ventures or Aetheryte tickets. Treasure Hunts trying to get those rare crafting materials that only come out of the treasure chests. Gold Saucer. Gathering and crafting. Gardening. Redecorating house/apt/FC room when I feel the desire or when friends ask me to decorate their houses for them. I don't touch PvP and PotD or I'd have even more to do.

Content doesn't grow on trees. It does take time and effort to create. If you only want new content to do, you're always going to end up disappointed.

I used to think like that too, but after 3 years on repeat mode, and seeing that patchs get thinner and thinner or just spread out, I started to burn-out on this. I just hope that 5.0 will shake things up enough so that you don't end up feeling the same way.
