Was any of the 6.3 content worth waiting 4 months for?

Play other games? Don’t mind if I do!

You can take breaks as long as you want if you just log in every 45 days for one minute. And having to pay an abo for that does not mean you can't take a break.

Money grows on trees now? Why should we be required to pay for a game that we’re not even supposed to play (per Yoshi-P)? There’s no good answer.

I invite other concerned gamers to “take a break” from FFXIV as well—subscription and all. This is perhaps the only forum that invites telling the masses to quit playing the game at hand. So just do it! Cancel your sub fees until Square Enix is bled dry! DO IT NOW!

One of the many interesting aspects unique to FFXIV is the approach some people take. Rather than improve things, those of us who want better are told to leave. At any rate, Hogwarts Legacy looks promising.

You aren't required to pay if you want to take a break. But people who can't let their house getting demolished have the option to pay the sub and take a break at the same time and just log in every 45 days. You don't have to play every day just because you pay the sub. And also, canceling the sub is no requirement for taking a break.

So? Whats your point. That you somehow expected yet unexpected the amount of content when we already knew what was to come months ago already?

We are not playing this game for a week. We know the cadency of the content in the game. The problem now isnt only that there is so few content in "big" patch.... the problem is, people got tired of new content really fast. Every new content in Stormblood and Shadowbringers was a blast. Many people just dont feel the same about the content in EW.

You aren't required to pay if you want to take a break, but...

Yeah, but all house owners are, nice one. We dont play every single day... but we wish to. Thats the thing. We just wanna have reason to log in, because we love this game and we want to play it. But when you play new content after 4 months and are done not even in a week and dont want to partake in new content anymore... It feels empty.

Oh well, back to extreme raid progression.

They aren't. It is their own choise to pay for not wanting their house getting demolished. They will lose their house if they don't but the possibility to take a break exists regardless.

Which makes it requiement to pay a sub. Dont make it isnt. For you its few pixels. For some others it means their place of comfort they are threatened to lose if they dont pay and visit often.

I completly understand why the system is there and I support it. Still see a lot of new bought houses that are empty, completly wasted. But its just the argument why some folks need to pay to still take a break, which is bs. Its costly penalty for taking a break and makes a lot of people anxious about decision between money vs they enjoyement in the game.

If the game had a system where if you didn't login for 45 days you lost all progress on your account, would you be ok with this? If you are bothered by this, then demolition and the limited housing system should also bother you.

Your argument is simply a "It's in the game so deal with it". Bad design in a game should be criticized .

I neither said that I'm ok with this nor that I'm not ok with this. All I said was that you can take a break regardless of if you pay the sub or not or having a house or not. Because a lot of people say "I can't take a break because I have a house". And that is simply not true.

Again, your argument is simply "Its in the game, so deal with it" and is just based on technicalities. It's like someone telling you "I can't keep my door unlocked because then a creep can just walk right in" and you replying "That doesn't stop you from keeping it unlocked though ". There is no substance to that statement..

Nothing is stopping anyone from taking a break, and yes a break doesn't require unsubbing or not, but the game has systems to incentivize you to keep paying while on break, and systems that timegate content to arbitrarily extend its lifetime to keep people subbed. That is not good game design for the consumer .
