Day 8 after last Patch ...

?_? Literally how is this a problem??? What kind of person gets unironically overwhelmed by having many choices?? In a video game?? Decide too hard??? Is this a woman thing? You people seriously sound like you should spend time away from FF14 and with your therapist instead. Lmao do you people collapse in the supermarket when you have to decide whether to get coconut milk or cow's milk

Because some content: Criterion, or even Bluemage, lose relevance pretty quick. Or like Explore Zones where if you arnt there week 1, then you get left behind, or you have a worse/less experience. And you can miss out if you decide you want to do something else 1st. Or having a Job / life away from the screen.
And...nice, insulting women. Classy.

Whilst I don't rejoice in agreeing with Gaius, he isn't entirely wrong in the assessment, and similarly, this is only half correct. This being in the situation of Criterion only, and because the rewards were bad.

But in the remainder of these examples, the relevance being lost on the content is almost entirely on the player and unwillingness to, in many cases connect with others - As a sprout this is a lot more understandable, but at Level 90, the opportunities have been endless by virtue of experience and knowing communities - Even if this is done out of mutual goal, and nothing more.

Similarly, the missing out aspect of Eureka and Bozja is entirely self-inflicted based on how people play and interact with the content and not the content itself. Eureka and Bozja do have issues - They have a lot of issues but this whole missing out because you weren't there week 1 or participated late is entirely self-inflicted.
