Thread: Are you consdering, or have withdrew auto rewenal/ sub due to the 4.2 patch notes?

I doubt many people would unsub because of that. Many people have different priorities when it comes to the game.

I couldn't possible care less about glamour and so the dresser is a feature I wasn't really planning on using in the first place, so its implementation is almost irrelevant. The chocobo saddles are what I'm looking forward to and my 999 aetheryte tickets . Would I have liked a 3rd free retainer? (especially since I already have some I rent) Sure, but I'd have been fine if they announced no new retainers at all, so I'm fine with not having another free retainer, makes no difference to me as I'm happy with my 2+2 setup and don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

There is enough content that I do that the patch is just a bonus. As it is I barely have enough time to do everything I want to do on a work day. A bit of that is because being a player that came back and made a brand new character around when Stormblood launched, and being a completionist, I have plenty of older content to still go through. I enjoy my roulettes, beast tribes, my weekly command dungeon (when my rested exp bar is really full), my hunting bills, and still have many dungeons/trials/raids to go around and finish, still working on ARR sightseeing log, the non-plus sidequests I skipped, leveling up all my jobs, getting stuff from WT and maps, and enough leves/fates/gates to work on my challenge log and achievements.

So even if this patch had only been QOL stuff and no new content at all, it wouldn't have mattered to me and anyone else who still has plenty of content they want to do in this game.

A patch being unsub-worth would be more for older players, and it would depend on whether the other content that is being released (like the new weekly glamour game, the new instances, the new pvp map, the enhanced perform) are things they care about or not. Everyone's different.

My FC has a mix of all sorts of players: new, returners, raiders, non-raiders who do high-end dungeons, people who don't do any instance except what's in MSQ and then go nuts with glamour/crafting, etc... And so far everyone seems mostly happy about the patch notes with just a few things here and there they don't like (My gripe is that the command mission additions are level 42/50/50, and I don't think it needed 2 50 dungeons added. One of those should instead have been cutter's cry or Qarn to fill the gap in betwen 32 and 41, and the other 50 should have been a 51-59 dungeon, but that's a gripe that's hardly unsub-worthy)

As far as inventory space, this isn't 3.0 where we were given an entire expansion with absolutely no integrated inventory increases With the excuse of console limitations, then given a boatload of paid retainers through mogstation. From my understanding, we're gaining 200 glamour slots along with the ability to store several full glamour sets in the armoire, the ability to stack just under a thousand items in a single inventory slot, and an alternate storage altogether alongside one paid retainer. At least this time we have an option outside of 'pull out your credit card if you want to upgrade your inventory' or 'don't upgrade your inventory at all if you don't want to pay more per month for it.'

Not that it made any difference at the time, but I boycotted the extra retainers throughout 3.x due to feeling a bit cheated. Just knowing that there's an attempt to better the inventory situation in game makes me more likely to buy extra retainers in the future as needed because as long as I'm getting something in my base subscription, I don't feel like it's a pure money grab. No reason to complain this time around. Certainly no reason to unsubscribe. But that's just me.
