No content for 1 year :)

[Koros]

Except we have fall guys and 1 hr of main story consisting of Zero staring at another man's abs, that will surely last for a year

Let's now watch the simps have a collective meltdown once again and mass report threads they don't like.

Yea it was pretty sad but it shows that there’s truth because it does hurt SE bottom line at the end the day.
Wish they’d do something with the feedback and posts explaining what’s wrong, but we know they don’t unless it gets to Shadowlands levels of disaster.

- Since U won't have completed 6.45 yet and with 6.5 just coming .. U can't complain about "no content" 'til 7.0 tho.
And U surely got nothing left to do about content since ARR. -

That's what people should think about before new addons gonna be launched.

Plus, there are plenty of people not playing 24/7 so they got much more left to do I guess.

I'm sorry. Allow me to go back to North Shroud and do combat levequests all the way until 7.0 (with a 2-hour break for the MSQ and the alliance raid).

Thought the last patch dropped in January, with the expansion releasing in summer... meaning about six months which is a half a year and not a whole year. Meaning this is a troll / bait thread for attention / drama. Also other video games exist, if FF14 is the only exclusive game you can play idk what to tell ya then, that sounds like self sabotage. And in b4 my $15 a month, one can unsub to "take a break" at any given time, no one forces anyone to do anything. I don't understand the massive amount of attention seeking and hate dishing out, is this truly the pinnacle of ones life to complain they are bored with absolutely nothing to do?

6.5 will have a week worth of content at best, unless they surprise us. Yes, almost a whole year with nothing. Add that to the year and a half of Endwalker without any lasting content. It's understandable why people are bored.

So the game and developers shouldnt take veterans like us into account? The game for every expansion, every patch release must always be centred around new players? Many new players don't have great attention spans for games like this and that should not be catered to, I am fine with people leaving the game and quitting.

We still get new content. That content not being interesting to you is a different issue.

The only ones bored are the rapid content consumers with a very narrow area of interest in the game's content.

Other players have plenty to do. They don't get to play 12-16 hours a day. They're lucky to play that much in a month, let alone a day or a week. They'll be spending their time getting all the things that you already got while they were at work or school. They'll spend their time doing the things you aren't interested in doing.

If you're a rapid content consumer, you are always going to end up at a loss for things to do unless a game introduces a grindy power progression system that the player base decides is mandatory, such as WoW did. And WoW proceeded to lose most of its player base as a result because most people just don't have enough free time to keep up with what the rapid content consumers demand.

"rapid content consumers"

except if you play 10 minutes a week, you'll be done with the new content in a week, a grand maximum of 2 weeks at most and that's if you are slowing yourself down on purpose just to slow content consumption

also cba with the wow comparisons all the time , zzz

Please don't exaggerate how quickly someone can get all the new content done. Also don't forget some players are going to repeat the content even if you're not interested in doing so.

As for the WoW comparisons, it's because that's the other MMO that I played the longest and most of the others were WoW knock offs.

If you have experience with other MMORPGs that did things differently to keep the rapid content consumers engaged longer, maybe share what you saw happening in those games.

Even if you only play an hour a day it will only take a week to finish a majority of a patch except for savage raids

Will they have earned all the new gear, minions, mounts and other rewards they want from the new content in just 7 hours?

I don't think so.
