So about the next patch (1.17)

[wolfwing]

There is alot of stuff they could be doing and adding that wouldn't effect the core. As I've mentioned before, adding outposts and camp functionality, more behests beyond the starter zones, more leve variation.

my main fear is that they are working entirely on core stuff and in 6 months at this rate when cores fixed, only then will they actually start on things to do beyond some of these bones. I hope and suspect they are working on some PVE but some letters and such give me bad feelings, like when they talk about working on core stuff and fixing it before they even think of any new content.

That is exactly how I and many others feel at the moment. That only core things are being worked on and it will be months before we see any real content. We don't even know if they are working on other things. Ishgard and new jobs and the continuation of the main storyline. Sure they are planned for the future but has any real work even been done yet on those things? @.@
