Sooooo when does 7.35 come out?

Gentle reminder that this is a subscription based game.
My whole life I have not given a company more money for a game than this one, so yes, I am entitled to receive value for my money and I am also entitled to express my disapproval with the patches. If you can not stand it, then avoid the general forum.

Yes, developers are people too, but guess what, they are not my friends (and also not yours). This is a business relationship. I give money, they give service. No service, no satisfied customers.

Gentle reminder that with a subscription-based game, you can subscribe for however long or short you want to. There are plenty of people that just do 1-month subscriptions at a time and then let it expire if they don't find other stuff to do in-game. FFXIV has a veritable mountain of things you can do. Which doesn't mean any particular amount of it needs to appeal to you, but so many people around here seem to act as if content doesn't exist just because they personally don't like it. You've hopefully received plenty of value for your money throughout the time you've been subscribed. It doesn't entitle you to anything specific going forward.

There's also a variety of ways people can express disapproval with something. Some ways are mature, reasoned, thoughtful critiques that give the developers specific ideas on how they might make the game appeal to a wider audience. Others are immature drivel just trashing everything and personally attacking the developers for what in the end simply amounts to making a different game than the complainer wanted. Guess which take is much, much, much more common on this forum...(and then act surprised when the dev team widely ignores this place).

The simple reality is that it is not humanly possible to produce content at the rate some people will consume it. Heck, EW released with 60+ hours of content, and even with the login disasters that were locking people out, there were still people who finished everything within a week and then complained that there wasn't more new stuff to do. Thankfully, it's looking increasingly like the dev team has learned to just ignore those people and design their own game on their own reasonable schedule.

Edit: And NO MSQ and Alliance Raid does not count.

This invalidates any point you might want to have. As soon as you start with the "I'm right, as long as you ignore everything that shows I'm wrong", you're just admitting you're wrong. So yes, MSQ counts. Alliance raid counts. Every bit of content that you personally don't find interesting counts.
