Well, I don't see what the big rush is myself. SE is the one loosing millions every month keeping servers open, and dishing out salaries to the dev team. Not really my right to complain in such a situation, where it is just as easy to take a break from the game, and put it out of my mind.

It also kind of seems logical that XIV, if they do have oodles of content stocked up for us, would hold it back for the time, and throw it at us when we're paying subs, and getting our moneys worth. Instead of just milking and completing every update as soon as they are released.

Since XI isn't planning anymore real expansions, and most of its systems are set in stone by now, it seems like everything that does get developed, goes straight to the table. Also I'm sure everyone on XIs dev team knows the ins and outs of all the systems and the engine like the back of their hands by now.
