This are the same players who already had access to flight in all the zones in under a week after the new expansion was released. So yeah, it is your argument that I find holds little water.

OP is no different than any other person who comes here griping about lack of content while also not participating in all the content the game has to offer. If you only do one kind of activity in this game that is a giant theme park that caters to multiple players and play styles, you're going to get bored really fast. There is nothing wrong with being that kind of player so long as he/she understands that the game and dev time don't revolve around any particular individual.

This rebuttal keeps cropping up yet it doesn't hold water. If the content can be completed at a gradual pace in under a week or so, how is it players are rushing through hella fast? A patch is supposed to last nearly four months yet nothing outside Savage will last longer than two weeks unless you barely log in. You've also cherry picked my argument. Yes, it takes time to develop but the crux of my point is nothing has longevity right now.

- Normal mode is going to take you an hour; two if you have to farm a little for drops.
- Beast Tribes are 10 minutes a day
- MSQ is maybe 3-4 hours and a one and done type of content
- Crafting only lasts if you're interested in playing the market board otherwise you craft new stuff for the jobs you care about and... wait for Ishgard?

What FFXIV lacks is longevity. The relic would help alleviate that because unlike everything noted above, it takes far longer to complete each individual steps. There's also a reason people have been begging for better achievements, Mythic+ and other types of content that isn't simply "do it once for the day/week and wait til reset."
