What you're doing right now, in Dawntrail's scope, before 7.1 that isn't old content?

But also, my point in the OP for XIV is mostly about the base .0 before we get the first patch.

well your OP goes with any patch be it future or past really. how long does a piece of content last for you and do you like it?

if they moved a piece of content from later in the pipeline down all it would do is extend content drough by having content paced differently. the reason we don't get something big like DD/field operation early is because we have the base expansion/raids to work with sure for a lot of players that wont last longer than a week but honestly no content last longer than a week. some are willing to continue in content because of rewards but the fun drains out once you are just reruning content for the rewards.
