I've brought this up during previous patch notes and I will keep bringing it up because it's a recurring issue that's continuing to bother me, using the current patch notes as a reference:

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...75523012584b54

New items have been added.
New mounts have been added.
New minions have been added.
This is what bothers me, I don't like the lack of information and I will continue to argue that we need more information about this and I don't mean the lackluster "this minion has been added" or "this mount has been added." In my opinion, the patch notes need more information on specifically where to obtain everything.

I.E.

For the new items that have been added it should just say "new crafting and gathering gear can be obtained from this vendor, this piece costs X amount of scrips, this piece costs Y amount of scrips."

For the mount they showed, "the new magitek predator mount has been added! It can be found on a low drop rate in this dungeon or by completing this achievement."

For the minions, "new minions have been added! They can be found off this boss or have been added to wondrous tails."

Let me add, I don't care at all about spoilers and have never enjoyed surprises of any kind. I don't care about what story is ruined if they tell us how to obtain a certain mount or minion, I just want to know "where is the thing and how do I get it?" Compare to Blizzard's way of doing patch notes where they specifically tell us where to find every new item, mount, and minion they add each patch which is, in my opinion, vastly superior to how the devs in this game are doing it.

Hell if it's really an issue, add a spoiler section to the patch notes that fully detail the run down on where to find everything so that people who would prefer to be surprised don't have to deal with it.
