Live Letter Hopes, Expectations, and Concerns

[Striker44]

Yeah gotta love how patches get spread extra thin as ppl burn though the new stuff in no time, as theres just nothing else to do...

Say what? I've been playing on and off since 2015, and this has been my main game for almost 2 years now, and I still have a plethora of things I'm looking forward to doing. I have crafting and gathering classes to level, ARR and EW sightseeing logs to complete, finally figuring out Lords of Vermilion, finishing the physical DPS role quests (1 level to go), and that's just a few.

In the end, though, this is more of an "us" problem than a "them" problem. Simply put, some people will just go all-out and burn through the content immediately. No human on Earth could create content fast enough for that kind of person. Acting as if that's somehow the fault of the dev team for not providing "enough" content for them is silly. Take your time. Play some other games. Read a book. Get outside. I take my time with the content (just discovered the 6.15 Omega and Tataru quests yesterday, it took me almost until 6.1 to complete the 6.0 MSQ, etc.). And I find there's always more to do.

Taking your time with content does not magically mean there's a plethora of it. You've simply chosen to artificially delay your playtime. For anyone who actively plays the game for more than a few hours a week, FFXIV doesn't have anywhere near enough content to last a month. Playing other games is all but a requirement due to the sheer lack of longevity in almost everything they release. Case in point, 6.1. You, specifically, may have taken until now to do Omega and Tataru's questlines but both can be completed within two hours. In fact, everything released in 6.1 outside Dragonsong can be done in a week or two even at a slow pace.

Square still yet to provide any sort of reasoning as to why they don’t release the relic in 6.05

This still baffles me. The one piece of longevity based content we can build towards and they wait an entire year into the expansion's life before we even start. I'd be all for making the damn thing match or even exceed the Savage weapons in odd patches. Anyone who cares has long been done with the tier by then. Why not make them relevant on top of being released significantly earlier?
