More Horizontal Progression please

[Fevelle]

"I don't like old content"
Well, it wasn't always old content, and it sure is new for new players and we got lots of them with this expansion and we'll get even more with the next because the jobs will be acessible from the beginning. Keeping old content relevant and adding horizontal progression has nothing to do with endgame raiders or hardcore something, it helps keeping the game alive as a whole. Stop looking at what you don't like and what content will please YOU, try looking more at the game itself.

Personally, I H-A-T-E hard content, hate extremes, I hate Alexander Savage and the damned exclusive mount it gives, I hate having to "progress" trough a fight because I don't have time or patience for that, I'm here to have fun, not a heart attack. Do I complain because they implemented it? No, because it serves and bring fun for players who play the game for that type of content.

It's a matter of being a little less selfish and think "what change we can do now to keep the game relevant years from now"?

^^^ This person gets it.

The current development design is the same as WoW's awful system. "Here let us make new content that totally invalidates all previous content" except FFXIV is even worse because they do it every 1-2 patches instead of every expansion.
WoW has literally DELETED OLD RAIDS. Because they are so irrelevant. How is that good design? Is it not ideal for there to be MORE content a year from now? Instead of the exact same because of an asinine system of

First shalt thou design 4 raid events, then shalt thou replace them with 4 more, no more, no less. Four shall be the number thou shalt have, and the number of the raids shall be four. Five shalt thou not have, neither have thou three, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Sixis right out. Once the number four, being the fourth event, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Patch of Replacement towards thy events, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff them.

.. Yea I went there.

They didn't "delete" them, they turned them into 5 man instances.

There's a difference.

Unless you're talking about Naxx and Onyxia, and those weren't deleted either. Those got a level bump and rehaul for Wrath.

Side note, SWG was finally shut down because SWTOR was being released, and LA didn't want folks confused as to which one they were playing, so they refused to renew SOE's license.

Does Tier 3 still exist?

To save you time the answer is no. The content was made so irrelevant they literally removed it and it does not matter.

Yes.

On the Black Market.

The raid itself still exists as well, but as level 80.

"Delete" implies "removed entirely". A rework and level increase is not deletion.

Also, WoW's last official number that I saw was 5.9m. Not 7.
