    It's not, there was a pvp boom after every rework. This is just a phase, once people get the rewards it will die. I give it about a month or two.

    It's called marketing.

    Go to HW zones, and look at the NPCs in those zones, then go to SB zones and the NPCs there. You can see a difference.

    A PvP revamp is still new content and it came with a new game mode and maps and complete revamps with new skills to all the Jobs.
    All your other arguments are basically '' it doesn't go as far as I want it to/ I personally didn't like it '', whether you personally like the EW story or not is irrelevant it doesn't change anything here.
    The discussion isn't about your personal preference it has no bearing on whether it's new content or not.

    Nothing you said about the graphical update either changes the fact that it is a new update incoming that is supposed to completely update the whole game.
    Just because it doesn't go far enough and reworks the whole engine and replaces the skeletons doesn't change what I said.
    It's more or less how people try to make these things sound like firsts, and major changes. When these are things that have happened in the past already. It's like people saying wow, 6.1 has so much content, they added a 24man raid, it may sound something big, but it's just part of the normal patch cycle. So the whole subject is are we going to see more content with the bigger success of FFXIV. No we are not, the developers are far to comfortable using the same routine they have been for 3 expansions with out takings any further risks.The reason they are not going to take any risks, cause people overly praise them for doing the same thing they did a couple months ago.


    The number of bosses is untrue. HW had more dungeons by 3.3 than SHB did, which makes the number of bosses greater. Not sure where they got those numbers but they are false. You can refer to the actual patch archives to verify this, or just log into the game and see the content differences.
    Also 1 new content type over 2 expansions isn't something I would consider a good track record. Which I am not even sure what that content type was?
