Everyone of you that has replied has only mentioned personal problems based on how you play the game.
This game is a subscription based game that has a month to month payment plan at its basic form. The problem I am talking about is an actual problem because the players are missing out on content because it is staggered

and therefore they may unsubscribe.

This is a problem that needs to be addressed by not staggering content when it is not necessary to do so.

Don't want to miss what's coming? Stay subbed. Can't stay subbed due to financial reasons? Not much that can be done on their end. Been in that boat myself once or twice. But the simple solution is to sub for the content you want. I don't understand your problem, tbh. If you're talking about BLU? It's only staggered for a week after release, then it will be available. So...stay subbed if you can.

Additionally, due to the Subscription nature of this game, often time my subscription may run out 1 or 2 days after a patch is released.

I should not have to decide as a player to renew my subscription to try out new content that should be released on the same day as the rest of the patch.

This constraint causes me to unsubscribe from Final Fantasy XIV online because I feel as a player that the development team and producer are trying to "milk" every dollar from me, rather than develop quality content, and release it in a timely manner.

I dunno. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

No one is missing out on content because it's staggered. They are missing out on content for other reasons.

and therefore they may unsubscribe.

Either they will unsubscribe anyway (just after doing the content) or they won't unsubscribe (thus they will still do the content, but later).

It is necessary to do. If not for this staggering, the content on patch would be "devoured" by some people in a frightening pace, they then would cry that they want new content, create bad press etc.


Reality is very simple. If you want all the content to be released at once then you are fine with staying behind. Because you will on something. You can only do one thing at a time after all. If that is the case, what is the difference between you doing that content on, say, January 1 to 31 and then unsubscribing until next patch, or unsubscribing now until, say, March, then do all the content released between now and March in March 1 to 31?! Logically speaking there is zero practical difference. It is 100% impatience. But what you suggested, there's a problem with that. If they will release in a staggered manner, there will be ~1-2 months of content "life". If they release in a non-staggered manner, there will be ~5-6 months of content "life". In other words, it's all in your head. There is no practical or financial difference for a consumer between staggering and "all in your face" reason, except the fact that the first allows person to keep up with everyone at all times in everything, and the other one does not.
