    Four raid bosses on a six month wait isn't enough content. Even if you play it kindly and include primals this is a very content light MMO due to the way they poorly utilize their assets. People just want dungeons that stay relevant so they have some variety in their play. These dungeons will go out of style immediately... provided they ever go in style, ala the 2.1 hard modes/PS.

    With better methods to farm tomes added in 2.1 dungeons are barely used at all. Upon raising two new alts in 2.1, I think I only visited like 3-4 dungeons, instead I just went to CT and did Scenario Roulette as they are far more efficient. I'm not asking for super, bleeding edge elements, just for content that makes sense.

    Suggestions to enhance the new dungeons:

    1.) Put Materia slots on all new end-game gear (should be done anyway) and allow conversion from all drops in the new dungeons.
    2.) Put some new and meaningful crafting materials as untradeable on bosses in the dungeon.
    3.) Put rare vanity items, pets, mounts on new dungeon final bosses. Emphasis on rare, don't make it an "everyone gets a trophy" deal like most pets and mounts are in this game.

    Adding relevancy to light dungeons and the open world (and decoupling point caps and raid lock outs by job rather than character) would probably keep me in this game longer. As it stands I plan to keep playing but have so far taken two breaks due to lack of content.

    Right now too much development time is being squandered on nonsense, be it one run dungeons or the PvP system. For as much of an MMO vet that Naoki Yoshida is he doesn't seem very up on trends, like the fact that MMO PvP is essentially dead after MOBAs and the very last place anyone is going to look for competitive PvP is Final Fantasy.
