Other MMOs and their History

Wrong. Yoshi P gives into fan demands to much. Fan demands are 90% bad with a huge majority being glamour related and not content related. That is going to be the downfall of FFXIV, it will be the opposite of WoW where they give in to much to stupid things and slack off more and more on content. We are already seeing this with less dungeons per expansion and it has gotten worst with each expansion. Raids are just a boss in a square room where it used to actually have at least something leading into the fights. Class design has become more homogenized with every expansion. You are slowly seeing the downfall begin as we are losing content for what people always want to refer to as "casual content". Last expansion we got 2 zones do to fates in, which we already had 6 of. I don't call that casual content I call it lazy.

Y'all wanted grind upon grind and cried for years about classes being too complex so we suffered 3 rounds of skill pruning and got even less flavor as PvE "hardcores" became the dominant appealed to. The players that have to choose only *one* path the best min/max with no regard to situation or utility.

Players in mmo history "made" their own content.

Raiding Stormwind.
RPing in all facets.
Speed running any content available.
Altaholics.

You have such a waste mentality of needing to be entertained with a new toy and throw it away as soon as you get it. Carrot on a stick.

Inb4 people scream that games should always provide new content, we need content that we can REPLAY and give us incentive to redo them. Instead of next new forgettable raid set thrown in the trash at end of the quarter.

GW2? People still have incentive and want to run endlevel content from 2013.

FF14? Ivalice, crystal tower, alexander always talked about always ran.

Ulduar? ICC? Deathwing? Naxx? Siege of Org?

Barren wasteland of mention. FF14 will not yield to "throwaway" toy mentality. This is not the game for you if that is all you want.
