There's too much strawmanning people who criticize the game

[SturmChurro]

This statement is severely subjective. Im sorry. Ive have friends and other people, including myself busying with other things in the meantime.

What are those things? Please enlighten us, on all the lasting content this game has.

So here's the big question that I have regarding this stuff. I could go off and list EX/Savage, Gold saucer, diadem, map exploration, relics, leveling classes, etc. But it's no secret that each of those things have a defined end. Do you have a problem with the defined end? Because that's part of the appeal to me. When I finish, I move onto another goal, if I have no goal I can either choose to mess around with friends as they do their stuff, RP, housing, etc. But ultimately a lot of times my strategy when I have no goal is to just take a break from the game and come back later. Is that not ok?

Additionally it's nice that each of those things can be paused and picked back up at any time. I need not finish them before taking a break as well.

Some even started playing actual alt characters
Achievement Hunting

Thing is that people dont just bum rush all of this stuff, it gets spaced out between game sessions. Please dont even take this as me thinking that we should'nt have new or expect new content. Thats just stupid, OF COURSE we want more and newer things, but just like everything it'll be all in due time and compared to others MMOs FFXIV's patch cycle isnt as long as or inconsistent. What I speak on subjective is that not everyone will want to do some of the things listed here or just dont care. Thats fine, but dont act like you should be entitled to receive content that only "you care about". This is why people say if you already done with what you wanted to do, then its ok to go to play other games and come back when they release something thats interesting to you.

But nowadays people just have this awkward sense of entitlement over products that everything has to be catered to them. You will never be happy if you keep thinking like this. And one last time I say this, we will be getting new content.

For someone who only wants to play one game sure sure find a lot of stuff to not do in said game...

Honestly, at this point I'm leaning more towards some people are just upset that other people are enjoying the game whilst they aren't and so they seek to police what is and isn't content based on some arbitrary standard they've developed.

I have a building feeling that people expect lasting content to keep them engaged for months and months on end - which is hard for really any game to achieve. At one point you'll exhaust yourself on things to do in a game and the content won't be engaging as it once was. What do I know, though, since I rejoined rather recently by many people's standards.

Or some ppl want to be locked into 1 game that they have to play like its a 2nd job in order to stay current in it.
