Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

[WinterLuna]

How so? The only counterarguments I've seen in defence of SE's unashamed copy/pasting of gamecode without any creativity has been:

- SE can't create new stuff without money (as if they're not getting sub and cash shop money, also that didn't stop them doing stuff like LoV that I'm sure wasn't heavily demanded in comparison to the relic)

- People are just upset they can't get the relic immediately and should just unsub (the common, weak argument when people's complaint isn't about it being a grind, but the way it was implemented)

Or people just enjoy it and don't want it changing? I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. Why can't we simply enjoy something? It's a counter argument in itself. Some of us like it, some of us don't.

Those people dont have to worry now do they because the old content will be there even if they bring something new and if you want to run WP 1000 more times you certainly can.

The real question is why are you afraid of something new or new content that you dont want it?

I didn't realise I was cowering in fear at new content and was against it, but hey.

My argument for why I enjoy it now although the content was already there? I like those dungeons, I like Alexander, I like farming, I like grinding. My queues for these are popping wonderfully now! So much life has been brought back into the content I like. Again, is that a problem, or am I not allowed to enjoy old content purely because I've done the before?

Also, you realise even adding something new to the relic would get just as old and tedious as you're making the current one out to be? Everything has a shelf life.

When HW launched, did ARR dungeons disappear? No, so why would SE adding new content concern them if the older content they like running is still around?

I don't have an issue with people liking it. I liked it too... back when I was doing it under 2 years ago. I do take issue with SE repackaging that very same content then trying to present it as something new. That's an insult to the players intelligence.

Would you really mind if SE added actual content related to the relic (quest and specific bosses) or made improvements to the game design of FFXIV ?
