Need for 3rd tier of raiding

[Magic-Mal]

Before raiders were able to beat all the hard raids, and then when they got the gear, they were able to use that gear on the other hardest content. Coil Savage. But no, titles weren't enough. Maybe some glamour could've helped but obviously there wasn't incentive or something so no one did it and Savage failed.

I hear how raiding is bad because the gear you get from raids is useless due to the fact that there is no content to use it on. Coil Savage was exactly that. And it failed.

Yoshi P has said he wants 3 tiers but only has the staff to do two. They are trying to hire more staff but skilled developers who speak Japanese and are willing to work in Japan aren't a dime a dozen.

I don't think this is a question of if they should or if they want to but if they currently can.

As for content release, FF14 is pretty damn competitive. Very few MMOs work on a mostly consistent 3.5 month patch cadence and guarantee new dungeons, multiple gearsets and some form of large scale group content (Alex/Mhachi stuff) in addition to other additions such as the side story stuff, the Primal fights, Deep Dungeons, and yes the Diadem stuff.

As long as they spend time making content like diadem where people step in 1 week than leave , as long as they focus on making xx hairstyle glamours and bla bla. Sure they don't have time for it lol

But the question is: Is there really a large enough amount of people that can actually clear said content to merit spending development time on it? Gordias seemed to indicate there isn't, and that's with a cheese strat existing.

Clear rates and try rates are very different. Yoshida stated in some recent interview, he was very happy with the clear rates of A5S and A6S. So the clear rates of A8S did not reflect the amount of people trying it.

Because the people designing hairstyles also design fights...
