Where's Patch 4.35

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Nobody is artificially extending the life on ANYTHING.

Grinding out all the Eureka gear is the very definition of artificially prolonging content. It offers nothing except the devs hoping to keep people occupied with the same exact grind that becomes invalided shortly thereafter. At least if you cared more about stats than glamour. Likewise, achievements such says 10,000 FATEs or 1,000,000 MGP is not content. It's purposely trying to get people to grind the same things which already exist to an obscene degree.

Per your own example, it isn't new content. I grinded out several sets from Eureka. Guess what? It was literally doing the same thing, over and over and over again. No variation whatsoever. Therefore, it isn't new content. It's simply repeating something you've already done. Now is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Every game needs an extension like that due to how fast content is consumed nowadays. That doesn't make it new. And if done to excess, will put people off. Case in point: FATEs. They have become so utterly despised, Diadem collapsed when the community revoked against it.

No offense, but good for you? Why should others be left struggling to keep up with patch cycles because they didn't wish to glutton themselves on content in one day?

Yes, having a weekend available to play video games and complete exhaust all the new content because there simply isn't any certainly makes me a glutton. How dare I happen to have free time time over the weekend. Telling players to literally stop playing your game unless they progress at a snail's pace is a fantastic way to lose customers. That's an absurd line of reason. Not to mention, who are you to determine if people should take breaks or are "attached to their pixels"? Maybe I'd like a reason to play beyond Ultimate for the next six weeks.

Everything 4.2 offered can be done within a week, tops. Now we have five weeks with nothing else. No one is saying the game should have a wealth of content at all times, but it shouldn't feel like a drought after a major patch release. And as Tiralina. Who is forcing people to progress faster? Those who prefer taking their time have options to look forward while people who want to push on ahead equally have something to do.

Right now, you either take your time or you have nothing.

Perhaps if there was no Ultimate raids to please the hardcore raiders, maybe it's possible things like Heaven on High would of been released sooner as more resources could of been spent on it rather than niche content. It's nice to have regardless, but something has to compromise somewhere and if there is a little bit longer of draught for some players, then it's likely connected to other content in some form.

Heaven on High is already done. The devs outright said they were simply delaying because 4.3 supposedly had a lot of content. If I'm to be cynical, I believe the actual rational is, "we don't want you to unsub because you're bored. So we're splitting everything up."
