You pay money that you've worked for to have an enjoyable experience, and they are not able to deliver on a date that was promised, so the frustration is understandable. However, sometimes it is just unavoidable. The alternative is they release content that is incomplete, or even totally unplayable. The fact that it is pushed already says everything you need to know.

We will eventually get Eureka, new relics, new dungeons, new primals, and everything else a lot of players enjoy. We will also eventually hear the gripes about those things as well. With those things comes players being undergeared, grinding FATEs for RNG drops, content being too easy or difficult, or the same 'ol same. There just is no choice other than to be patient, and in the meantime you have to find an enjoyable reason to log in and play with what we have.

Moar PEWPEW in the one and only new dungeon we're getting this patch, moar PEWPEW in the new Ultimate level "raid" we're getting that only 1% of players can get to (and we be released for at least two weeks after 4.1 launches), or moar PEWPEW in the new housing area that won't even make a dent in the player housing issue we have? >w>

- New Housing Zone(Vanity)

- Hildibrand Story(Solo)
- New Custom Delivery(Solo)

And in 4.15 we get
- MOBA PvP mode(PVP)
- Bard Perform ? (Vanity)

This. The 24 man will be done once or twice a week until I get my gear set. I don't "raid" so I won't see ultimate until 5.0. I'll do the new primal once for the clear and farm in 5.0. I don't care about any of the vanity. I'll pvp until I can't stand the bots, and the rest is solo.

It's not that this patch has no content, it's just that the content isn't built to last. Excluding raids and such, pretty much everything can be "substantially" completed day 1.

I agree that the patch is utterly dissapointing, but I honestly wonder... What do you want? I mean... If you don't like tier 24 easy raids, you don't raid high tier content, you don't care about vainity items, and you don't want solo content, them, what do you want?

Cause I know what I like. Just add 3 primals each patch instead of all those weird things like squadrons, hilbridand or the beast tribes, and I'll be happy with the patch. (raid+unending Coil+3primals+1dungeons)

I undertand that each player might want diferent things, ( But I find really hard to imagine someone who woud like Squadrons as they are implemented right now) and really wonder what you would like.

Oh I love the 24 man raids. The 8 man "raids" are harder trials. They are fun once, then meh. I do like having some solo content to fill the void but this is a lot for a MMO. Relics are fun and I enjoy pvp for the most part. But there "new" content is mostly trials. Zone in to boss, kill, and repeat until you throw up. I'd like to see something like sky/sea or dynamis from 11, 8 man dungeons, things to do with friends other than swimming in housing, content designed to last a patch cycle that isn't "repeat 1000 times till we release something else to repeat."

Play a different game. Or just complain on the forums. It's your time and money.
