I just don't understand why people are so attached to content they've done already hundreds of times, as we are constantly reminded.

To each his own I guess.

It is not people wanting to spam the same thing for year, it is people wanting to run out of stuff to do. The game is in a state of horrible lack of content currently once you master the content.

Coil 1 through 5 2hs maby. All the extreme primals maby 40mins. Add on 3 crystal towers with a guild alliance (Not hard to do at all if you know how) 2hrs maby. A few more primals to cap myths... done for the week. So currently the game has 5-6hrs of content a week. 1-2 days of content for many people.

People do not want content negated because SE does not have near enough worthwhile content in this game to start negating it. I would say they need at min 5 fold as much before they start the negation of everything. I know the argument "Less the blah blah % can do that" but some are there for the content negation should be modeled after those who are running out. That way non of your subscribers are in a situation of being forced to pay to not play. SE is charging some people $9-15/month for a 2 day a week game, which is 100% bs.

We want the ability to play 40-50hrs a week and never run out of things to do. This is not some absurd expectation. This is the norm for a mmo. It is also why most mmos fail. I expect to never run out of content if I am paying for it. That is my and manys min. Expectation of SE.

See for me that's just enough content. I still play a lot, run my face at a wall with helping FC members and randoms with stuff etc... and yet still have time to actually do that content and on top of that can actually do OTHER stuff as well not only FFXIV. So instead of making me choose - play FFXIV or play this other game/watch that thing/read a book/etc... I can actually do both. I really don't care for weekly lockouts etc... sure I ran coil 1-3 so far a few times. Did I enjoy it... sure... but frankly neither t1 or t2 were really that much interesting. What I loved was the jumping around in t3 and I hope that maybe the floating city of Nym might reuse that mechanic. I always laugh so much when people start getting lost or just die from fall damage etc...
