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

[Adeacia]

I've been playing since 3.1 and haven't run out of things to do at all. Not even close. Jobs to level, Triple Triad cards to collect, mounts, minions, achievements etc.

Every time someone says there isn't anything to do, they just mean anything they personally want to do. The content is there, they just don't want to do it.

Me playing since 2.0: "First time?"

But seriously, content lulls happen all the time in this game. Yoshi-P himself encourages taking breaks from the game. So take a break from the game for a few months before returning for the new stuff added, no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Well, yeah - many people don't want to do a lengthy and tedious grind for the sake of doing a lengthy and tedious grind. I'd love to be able to collect more Triple Triad cards but I see little fun in doing the same fight over and over and over again for a chance of maybe getting the card I'm looking for.

Much in the same way as how I could technically go to the Diadem to mindlessly click gathering nodes for many hours each day for the materials needed to craft hundreds of items to get enough points to unlock a rare mount. Yet that simply isn't a productive or respectful use of my precious free time.

You mean about the amount of content or...?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Yeah, it's because you're new.

Those have us that have been playing for years or longer haven't had much to do for a long time now, and new patches don't offer much. I can't remember the last time I didn't complete all the new content in a patch in under a day (not counting savage, which is limited to when my group can get together).

What about those of us who have been here since before 2.0 and still find plenty of content to work on?

You have remarkable fortitude.

I played SWTOR, they'd maybe have one content update a year and they didn't update PvP beyond huttball for several.

Yep, I stopped playing swtor after 5.0 and the great "thrill of the hunt" rng garbage.

Getting content quickly means nothing if it's over within the same week of release. Case in point, 6.1. If you aren't progging Ultimate. What longevity does this patch have? We have a 24 man with a weekly lockout you'll maybe spam for glamour, a single EX fight and several story/side quests which are all primarily one and done. Tataru's grand adventure could be the best questline made. It's still a finite piece of content that won't last more than an hour or two. Even at a gradual pace, you'll have 2-3 weeks of content and then... nothing else for the remaining three months.

And? Its still content, and a hell of a lot more than pretty much any other MMO out there. Its not the devs faults MMO players consume content at a stupid pace. You're expecting way too much from developers. Its amazing they can even do as much as they do in a 4 month time table.

[Themarvin]

It is fine, other MMOs get less or nothing at all in same timespan.

[angienessyo]

While I am one of the players that's progging DSU, during content lulls I just play other things. I played through Elden Ring twice while waiting for DSU and have a pretty big backlog of games. This game doesn't need to be the only thing I do so I don't really care how long I have to wait for content. I normally hang out in PF helping out sprouts do synched min ilevel old EX trials or the Coils when there's nothing else going on in game.

Yeah but there's rewards tied to it. Diadem is boring as heck but thats still content I did to get some of the furnishing, gear, minions and other rewards. The thing is I dont spend the entire day or days grinding like a maniac, I spread my sessions out so that I go do other things when I get bored with it. Again, there's a lot of content this game offers but the fact that people just cherry pick the ones they want and then call out "game has no content" is stupid.
