There is no need to buy CT runs because Square themself said that it will be doable with DF, just like the rofltool from WoW.

Details on the Wolves' Den, Beast Tribe Daily Quests, and Treasure Hunts will be revealed in the next LIVE letter.

Knowing how the game engine works and knowing SE's past, does anyone really think they know what they are doing with pvp. It will most likely keep getting pushed back. Either that or released half-hardheartedly. I feel like this game's pvp will be a joke like diablo 3's. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.

jeez.. The QQ is beyond 9k in here. Look people, it is not "easy" to make new content. It is not "easy" to please people (as you can see by this post). Yes there will be bugs on release, EVERY game i have ever played, EVER. Has had bugs. Some games have bugs that stay inside the game forever and never gets fixed. Why don't you just realize that this is a constant struggle for anyone in the game industry and be happy with the work they are doing for you. 2.1 will come out be it november or december. The content will be buggy and then get fixed. just sit there and wait. I mean at this rate even if everything was released perfectly, I can see someone creating a post about "how come SE has to make everything right and not let me exploit bugs?!" . Settle down little ones. no one likes a bratty kid.

3 months for content updates is unacceptable
wasnt ffxi every other month in it's prime?

XI and XIV are 2 different beasts entirely, please stop confusing the 2 or using the history of XI as a theory for XIV.

Content Updates every 3 months is pretty much the MMO-STANDARD. Large content patches ever 3-6 months. Sometimes as long as a YEAR for real content, horizontal or not.

FF14 just opened a few months ago and you guys want perfection on everything? They are still debugging current content in prep for the future 2.1 update. FF11 was no where near perfect when released. Rather have smooth running content with as little bugs as possible rather then some cluster of coding that explodes when you enter an instance. I can wait another month for things to be running smoothly. Everyone here crying about the delay reminds me of little kids asking their moms for candy before dinner and getting rejected. "MOM BUT I WANT IT NOWWWWW."

It's the fact that the child knows the candy is there, yet gated behind the requirement of a dinner that doesn't compare to the candy sweetness that causes the I WANT IT NOW mentality. The live letters are the candy that SE places ever so out of reach, yet continually reminds us of their existence every month with brilliant screenshots, art pieces and in-game previews. Most of which are delightfully unexplained, which allows gamers to ponder and marvel at possibilities.

Now say if the dinner was equally as delectable as the candy, then perhaps the child wouldn't be as demanding. For many players that isn't the case right now, as you should consider that 2.1 is not just a content patch. It contains many improvements, UI additions and extra activities that the current end-game lacks for many players.

One could say that the amount of time they are spending polishing and adding to 2.1 is a sign that the current 2.0 has many elements that are lackluster and need something more. Such as the current state of Duty Finder and the growth of rude/abusive playerbases.

I'm fine with waiting myself, but even the most patient child would get annoyed with the constant teasing of something better My only gripe is waiting 6 months to get my own house. Also typing this reply has made me hungry.

Well, in the last live letter they said they will be hosting approximately 1 live letter each month up until the release of 2.1. That sounds like quite a few months to me... Also judging from the myth cap, people wont be reaching full myth gear until maybe 2 months from now. At that point we should start expecting the release imo.

I have to admit i personally feel like SE is toying with their customers, intentionally sprouting the idea that 2.1 is going to be released very soon. If it was going to be released soon, there would be a date announced for it. Atleats thats what my logic says... I would expect the release around february or even march to be honest. Just my hunch, nothing more.

If you don't agree with the way they are releasing content, you can always stop paying. It may take them awhile to get their grooves when it comes to update. You can also not have to play the game every month and take a break. This is not a game you play every day for every week of every month. You pay when patches are being released, otherwise stop paying and do something else
