Very limited content at ARR launch :( ?

[Jennestia]

The OP's post and following 'white knight' replies remind me of 1.0 launch all over again. /facepalm

Instead of settling for mediocrity, let's challenge SE to release something that's full blown instead of bare bones..

I seen no white knight responses, however player communities deem white knights as those who can look realistically at things as well as those who may actually like something -- likewise game communities deem trolls as those who disagree with you.

Its not people on this forum that need to be convinced to play - its everyone ELSE!

Which means end-game at launch doesn't affect anyone but those who are currently playing 1.0 and done all content -- if you take 1.0's current content and slap it onto revamped 2.0 (which they are) there's more than enough launch content to keep people happy, the only thing they won't have at immediate launch is so few things compared to what they will have.

I really didn't expect them to have tons of new content for old players right at release. I actually don't expect them to have anything new but one new class / job to level and the beginning of new storyline and some quests.

Is the current player base really done with all the current content? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see everyone running around in full darklight and relic weapons.

Exactly. New players will have all the current jobs (+ summoner) and crafts / gathering classes to level, primal fights, at least two raids (CC and AV) and Hamlet Defense. Add this to the main storyline stuff and quests and it should keep people busy for a while.

If they would remove all the current content, then I might be of different opinion.

The main reason why everyone left was because of the Network Structure/ Exp System/ 11111111 ( Basic Atatck) System)/ and the Horrid lag. If the game was " Playable", then they would have probably played longer ( but there was no end game though so if they did get any in by the time people were starting to get 50's, then it fails.

They do need end game content at start of some sort... but the game needs to be playable, after that they can build upon that "Playable" foundation.
