PvP content would not be self-sustaining in FFXIV because there is no open world PvP and I would like it to stay that way since that tends to bring out the worst in people. The instanced PvP is perfectly fine and can't break the rest of the game. It might not be the most exciting content, but it's not something you can just "okay I've done it, no need to do ever do it again".

The trouble with PvE content is that it can't survive gear creep. There is absolutely no way to make any content that will not be a faceroll with the highest tier gear. If the players want the content to have any longevity, then the developers have to release story content on separate patches from side content knowing that players will spoil it immediately if too much content is released at once.
