November? really?

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.

Is this real? i hope to god your just messing around and your not really saying this :P

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)

Well for one there is still a lot to do in the game 2 this is not anything like a restaurant order {unless your order the whole place} sure you pay a sub and you can stop paying. SE is not saying oh heyy keep paying that ones up to you 100% this is the first big rest this games had and i don't think the worlds going to end over it :P How many other mmorpgs bring stuff out as fast as ff? not counting the free to play
