    I think the underlying issues he's addressing, and one I completely agree with, is that there is no end game content, and there was none waiting for us when we did hit 50. I've never, ever played any other MMO where, I reach the level cap, and the next option for my playing of the game was to level another class/job/whatever.

    And to be honest, it's hard not to "burn through content faster than they can make it" when there has been no substantial content in-game yet. And that's an issue for me, and many other gamers. It's like if you had bought Final Fantasy II (IV) for SNES, only to have to stop after Cecil became a paladin and wait a year for them to finish putting the rest of the game together.

    It doesn't make sense to make endgame just yet for a game that's still having foundationwork done to the core programing. It also doesn't make sense to add it when the game is still essentially in testing and free to play.

    Nowhere did I state they should be adding content prior to the system being over-hauled. I simply explained what Scarface said in a better way. And as much as it doesn't make sense to add end-game content now, it makes even less sense to release an MMO with absolutely no low/mid/end-game content.

    You implied that it should have been waiting for you at lv 50.

    If the game wouldn't have flopped upon launch we would have endgame atm, or at the very least the level cap would have been raised by this point. So technically it can't be judged against other MMO's b/c it's still in a testing phase.

    Yes, it should have been waiting at rank 50, it should have been waiting at ranks 10, 20, 30 & 40 as well. I don't see how "should have had content at release" is anything like "should add content before system changes."

    And again, you're coming back to the game failing at launch, which has absolutely nothing to do with what I am saying. There should be stuff for people of all ranks to do, UPON release. Not AFTER release.

    Failing upon launch has everything to do with the lack of endgame content. The game was rushed, and the intended plan was the same as XI. Endgame and the such was to come later after a level cap increase, or after sufficient time had passed. The reason players are stuck twiddling their thumbs was because of the initial rushed release date + the major overhauls that are being done now because of the flop.
