Alexander too soon?

[Zfz]

The whole expansion is going to be pushed through rather quickly. We can most likely expect the next expansion late 2016. The game is already in high momentum mode and there's nothing to stop it for this expansion.

Personally I'd like to see the patch cycle stretched to at least 4 months, preferably 5 months. But that's because I want to do everything. But for those who only do crafting/gathering or only play two or three battle jobs, that is a very long time. So we end up with a faster schedule because what is at stake is the subscriptions from those who want to rush, not those who take it slow and by default will keep subscribing anyway.

The patch cycle is designed to please people who want the drive-through hoo-ha experience. Not for those who want the afternoon tea-set refill-all-you-like experience.

4-5 months?, really?. Most MMO's die because of that kind of stuff...people complain there is no content yet you're complaining because there is too much content?...geez are people ever happy about anything?.

4-5 months is far too long to wait in between content, content is likely released on what SE thinks will keep people from unsubscribing. I know for sure I'd unsubscribe quickly if I was paying up to $75 for doing the same grindy content again and again.

>_> Have to but, you mean the same thing we've been doing every single update since 2.0, just new scenery? lol It's all fun until you finish whatever is new, then you're stuck grinding the same 2 dungeons for 3-4 months

They usually end up setting limits on how fast you can get gear (weekly drops/weekly limit on tomes), that's enough to keep me subscribed for 3-ish months. Extending that artificial limit to make it fit within 5 months will slow down progress significantly, and also give players less content for their money. Why would you want that? Everyone has their own way they like to play, if you can't do everything in the 3 months for all your classes you decide to level, well you have plenty of content to keep you playing, don't force other players to play the same way as you (well not you, the original poster I quoted).

I have one 60 that has few ilvl180's and couple 170's gear, currently working towards second 60 but only 52-53 at the moment.

no rush to get it done, what are all these people on top of the world going to do once they complete it within release week? what does anyone do once they're fully geared < A>
best to take it at your own pace, alexander isnt crawling back into that lake anytime soon

All I hear is ilvl does not equal skill. Lol I'm sorry I had to.
