The thing is, excluding Warlords and Cata the patches had more content than FFXIV for the most part. It's not quite fair to compare 6 months for 10+ bosses to 4-5 months for 4. WoW has gone down the shitter though, so I don't suppose that matters. Yoshida did make mention of increasing the patch delay to make larger patches (similar to WoW), but believed it wasn't the way to go due to people unsubscribing, and that he hasn't built loyalty or whatever to keep people subscribed for that long without new content.
