The issue is this, square is not releasing enough content atm for the rate people are completing it.

With this new leveling system someone can cap all thier fighting classes in a little over a month, and get fully geared in about another month.

This means the game has about a 2 month life. Even though another update might come then, with all classes leveled you will blow through the content in the update in possibly days to a week.

It seems great now but wait until December when everyone has done everything and the already low server population drops by 60% because people are beating a mmo and need to go to a new one because there is nothing left in XIV.

This is the same BS as abysea in XI which caused the games population to plummet by more then half. The early death comments above is from the fact XI would still have alot more people playing it id they did not butcher the game, meaning the games life would be longer.

SE either needs to release content at a decent speed (5-6 dungeons and 1-2 raids per 2 month update) or they need to make the content in game last longer.
