How is anyone fine with the 4-month patch delivery schedule?

Are you trolling actually lol? This is like shill mentality .

Given this person can't comprehend what a sub is, and also refuses to unsub despite claiming they don't feel the sub has value, I'm no longer sure of the point of trying to communicate with this person.

How exactly is it trolling to want to have game content to make the sub more worthwhile?

[Shougun]

I've always considered myself a casual player. I would personally be satisfied if there was some form of lasting content with quality outfits, and collectibles to go for. I don't even ask for much - I think, but even then the game fails to deliver. A lot of 'casuals' in this game, actually get the most out of their sub by making their own content, rping, or otherwise. It's used as a social hub - those are the players who actually get value out of it.

Any content ideas? And no this isn't "go make an MMO yourself if you're not happy" comment lol - just curious if you've made posts / threads on what you think would be satisfactory.

Answer me this. What are you trying to accomplish here?

The Devs got in front of this issue many times, understanding the impossibility of releasing enough content for hardcore players to stay ahead of their consumption rate. They said to unsub when you are done with the content. FFXIV has a ton of content. You're just bored of it. So unsub.

They told you when new content is coming and on a schedule. What they aren't going to do is change their entire business solely because you want more, and faster.

Especially when they are getting your money anyway, as bizarrely you refuse to unsub. So they get your money because there is really no reason to listen to you, as you won't unsub regardless.

I don't mind too much if the content is provided with minimal bug issues.

BUT

I wish they would decouple really needed class changes from these big content patches. I really doubt there's no graphic changes for most of these changes, just some minorish engine changes that can't be done via just potency changes (Blood Weapon being changed to charges versus a timer).

Or if there was a way to piece meal it a bit more instead of these mega patches, but I guess since some of the content is tied to others (like how All Hallow's End was locked into Endwalker) that's not possible.

Just here to answer your question.

I play for a little bit, then take some breaks. Go on a walk-it's finally stopped raining so it's been nice to see the sun out and hear the birds. Go to the local market, look for some fresh fruits which is a rare success because I swear everyone runs up and snatches them all as soon as the doors open. Clean up around the house a little more. Do some mopping, vacuuming, counter cleaning..switch all the bedding because spring is almost here! Scrubbed the bathroom down nice and good just yesterday. Also tried out an outdoors flea remover so my cats can sit in the back patio without any worries about an hour ago. Will probably going to wash my car windshield now. Maybe tomorrow I'll log into XIV again! Play for a little bit, then go wash my whole car. Trim the lawn, go for a run. This is all because I play likely a normal healthy amount. The whole day doesnt have to be absorbed by XIV. There are many many things to do with ones time. I'm actually greatful that XIV is this easy going. I've played MMO's for years and usually they try to leech every hour of my time they can. But not this one! This one lets me play it and then go tend to my real life just fine. I'm never behind, I'm never rushing. I'm never stressing about how 'oh i should be farming this dungeon running it 300 times for this one thing or else I cant do xyz' I can just do a little bit, and then go make my real life just as pretty as my game life is. So this is how I am fine with however long it takes for new patches. It gives a healthy downtime. I always come into a new patch fresh faced and ready to sit down for hours and hours. and when I'm done, I get to go back to a more responsible balance without fear of that costing me anything. If the money feels like it's being wasted, I simply unsub until it's time to resub again! Because unsubbing doesnt put me behind either! Hope this helps.

I am struggling to understand why people keep taking the bait on everyone one of these threads.

They do put out content like that. And then people grind the heck out of it, get the rewards they want, and then complain there's no content. Relics, for instance. They put those out with the idea that they're lasting content, but then people rush it to get what they want and then demand more because they finished too quickly. Like Zephyr said, this team of developers realized trying to chase that idea is a losing game. They put out the content and we can choose to partake or not partake.

I'm still playing the main MSQ, because I have a full time job and only play about an hour or so a day. I probably won't even finish 6.0 by the time 6.1 comes out. No complaints here.
