    Only looking at something to complain or be 'offended' about, and in this case not even waiting to experience the content before once again starting up the negative bandwagon.
    Not really that, just an expression of basically "we've been waiting this long, and this is it?"

    I've let my sub lapse, currently playing ESO, and guess what... between 3.35 and 3.4 of FFXIV, i have completely leveled 1 character, still have yet to complete a lot of the content, and when i read about the 3.4 content coming my thought was...guess i'll just wait until 4.0 before even trying coming back. Seriously, it is an incredibly long time between content patches and there is little to show for it. The MSQ is really the best thing to look forward to, but i doubt that will even be that "full" of content. Will most likely be 4-5 quests and that will be that. I'm not entirely sure how you can go months upon months designing interm content and it comes out to just a couple quests.

    If they are structured correctly, there should be a design team for MSQ, design team for side quests, team for dungeons and possibly raids lumped together. If they have multiple design teams, there is no reason there should not be more content than what is being delivered. Maybe they put like 80% of their resources into creating the next full expansion, but then it should be so huge that when chopped up into the 4.X patches there is enough content to last a couple months before being worn out. With the way it is now, unless you are raiding savage, you simply outgrow the content in just a few weeks. Playing just for reset to roll around so that you can get a new piece of gear even though you have cleared all the content is not a grind that will keep players coming back. Having such a large amount of content, and a progressively increasing in difficulty so that you HAVE to get that extra piece to down it would be a better way.

    And when you get to the end game in that game you'll be waiting around disappointing for content because it will last you a matter of weeks and not months. This happens to every single mmo in existence

    Don't let that fool you. I joined FFXIV between 2.3 and 2.4
    Naturally I still had a lot of content to clear between 2.55 and 3.0
    Content update in ESO usually comes with DLC being put into the cash shop.

    Oh, I know full well the lifecycle of MMOs, I've looked into it and not really interested in ESOs endgame. But the path to that has been enjoyable to say the least. It's giving me something that 14 hasn't in some time, and really I suppose it's mostly just a pallet cleanser until I care about 14 again. For now I'm having fun wandering around finding chests and random quest chains. Also just soloing group dungeons as I level has been quite fun. I imagine it'll slow down once I reach level cap, and clear the main and DLC stories, but hopefully I'll have kept myself away from 14 long enough to come back with a fresh attitude.
