The person who you were posting in response to was posting about people capping everything and how it tied into nothing to do comments. FFXIV has nothing to do despite everything they've added, yes they killed their team that started it, but that still doesn't justify its current state.

People who capped to 50 before the Zilart/adds that came after the initial release were serious gamers devoting serious time to a new game.... in FFXIV everyone caps everything in a month or two, with minimal time investment (save for the people who come on here sayin "i have a job and a wife and and and" like no one else who plays XIV does too) and as soon as your capped on your jobs... there's nothing to do. This game has also been out longer than FFXI was when they added their stuff, wether it was because they started with a better team, clearer vision, freer reign over content I can't say.

Is XIV goin in a better direction? mostly, ya. How long has it been out... how much have they added as far as stuff to do?... "They had to fix so much!" True, but its a poor excuse in itself. I didn't miss your point, but I think you were/are missing the bigger one. People do try to be patient, but there are limits to how long people can wait and limits to how long they can be expected to wait. Each update now fixes more things which is great... but content that dies off again so quickly miiiiiight not be the right kind to release. I'll keep waiting, as this is just filler content. Waiting and Hoping, but expecting very little.
