Instead of cutting Ultimate from 5.5 why not cut bozja?

[ForteNightshade]

Are you suggesting, that in the middle of a world pandemic, groups of people assumed that everything would proceed just as they wanted it? Really? You know what, my plans for the last year and this have also been disrupted. However my reaction, and most other grown ups, is to bear with it and help each other where we can. I can sympathise with people who have really suffered through this terrible pandemic. Even more so for people who have lost loved ones. But for people moaning because a pastime game hasn't done what they wanted, well.....nothing.

This is a strawman.

PotD and the loss of a dungeon were decisions made long before Covid even existed. Furthermore, they had eighteen months to design the second Ultimate, or relay information to the playerbase of its potential delay. They did neither—waiting until the literal last second to spring such news onto everyone likely because they knew it'd cause a plethora of players to unsub. Meanwhile, if you're a casual players, everything did proceed as planned with no interruption for your preferred content.

Regardless, you're arguing a fallacy here. Raiders are allowed to be upset their content was cancel in the same way casual players flipped out they lost dungeons.

Why not take the time to try other content you've never done?

Because many of us have done it already. FFXIV isn't exactly known for content longevity if you're a long time player. We're now going to be waiting upwards of eight months with only an EX Primal and whatever's left of Bozja.
