November? really?

Not unsubbing personally but it's growing increasingly difficult to find enjoyment in grinding out the last of my 60's when my main class (PLD) is still mediocre at best in endgame content. I'm currently levelling drk so I can attempt to clear some savage before 3.1, since no one will seriously consider adding a PLD to their static atm.

I don't got a problem with waiting a extra 2 months for more content does not bother me in the least. Dev team needs a break and fresh minds function better then burned out over worked ones. You want something complain about, trying waiting a year for new content. Then you will really have a reason too complain up one side and down the other about nothing new too do.

Nobody is forcing you to stay, it was stated well in advance the devs are on vacation and this patch cycle will be 2 months longer than normal, once 3.1 hits the next patches will be 3 month cycles.

It's like 15 a month is a lot of money or something, that's a pack of smokes in canada here.

We only learnt about this release date yesterday, how is that well in advance? People were speculating the end of September or Mid-October until now on both Reddit and here, along with a few FFXIV YouTubers.

I' m surprised there hasn't been an "I'm leaving" thread yet

probably because most believe they will be flamed or trolled or both

I pay my sub to get content in the game, not take the devs on vacation. They deserve a break as much as I deserve what I pay for. How they do it I could not care less, it's no my job to fix their schedule, but I'm not paying them to do nothing either.

Why is it so unreasonable to suggest they hire someone else to do their work while they are on vacation? If I go to a restaurant and order a meal but the waiter's turn ends before it's ready, they don't make me wait until he comes back the next day... they get another waiter to cover.

I only give money to friends and charity without expecting anything in return. SE isn't either.

^ This. It's understandable if they need a break, but I'm baffled they don't seem to have extra employees to bring in for when others are out. In 15 years of mmos, I don't think I've ever seen one where they come out and say "welp, content is being pushed back another 2 months because everyone's taking a vacation."

This could also be further proof that XIV isn't doing as well as some people might think, so they're cutting costs. Either that, or they're just trying to ride the money wave from people who can't see problems with the game, while putting the minimum they can into the game (2 dungeons, 4 bosses, more focus on vanity content etc rather than real mmo content)
