    Great hyperbole you got there. No one is expecting to play the game 24/7 for 10 years. There's something in between expecting to play only one game and always having relevant content to do, and patches that have a couple hours worth of content and then you wait 4 months for another few hours. Before you used to take a break like 2 months into a patch but now you have to constantly and consistently rely on other games since this game does not offer enough content to keep you busy for more than the patch day, and unless you do savage even that's overestimated.

    Except many of us do have content to do. It comes down to personal interest in the various types of content being offered.

    The majority of content between ShB and EW is the same type in the same quantity with the following exceptions:
    ShB had Bozja and Firmament
    EW has Variant/Criterion, Deep Dungeon and Island Sanctuary

    Were you spending that much time on Bozja and/or Firmament last expansion that it kept you busy all patch, or is that looking back with rose colored glasses? Were you doing other things like leveling up jobs you had previously ignored so now this expansion instead of having 50-80 levels to go you only had 10?

    It helps to have specifics on why you were active during patch cycles last expansion but are bored this expansion. What were you doing then that you aren't doing now that makes the difference?

    Do you have some obsessive compulsion or what is up with you debate lording everything? Yes, I did do said content in Shadowbringers, now there is no such content that will keep you busy, there is no reason to spend more than 5 minutes a day in the Island Sanctuary, there's no reason to keep doing variant/criterion for no rewards, deep dungeon was obsolete on patch day when the relic weapon was better and basically handed to you. This is not a difficult concept to grasp, there is no LONGEVITY to any of the new content.

    The devs were very transparent about the delays we would have for the patches we are seeing now. We all knew there would be much wider gaps so expanding the break time should have been expected. I'm really not sure why people are shocked by this.

    And that makes it good how exactly? Being transparent about something doesn't mean it's good. And once again, for the millionth time, I'm not necessarily talking about the time in between patches but the longevity of the content, which currently is basically nonexistent.

    I didn't say it was good. I'm saying people shouldn't be surprised.

    Then why keep paying if there is nothing to do? This is not a difficult concept to grasp, if there is no longevity in the new content why are you still paying for it?

    IT'S THE CONTENT STRUCTURE. Here we go again... Yelling at people to unsub at every piece of criticism is a great way to deal with issues with the game.

    Okay, we're sorry. Continue to sub to the game you current have nothing to do in.

    Yes, on some level people like this just give SE more money to develop content for the rest of us lol.

    Yes, I know you struggle to comprehend the concept of liking a game but wishing it to be better still. It's either game is perfect or unsub with you.
