Lack of content on patch release

[Remedi]

The only shared mindest was "what should happen? we can still finish it with patches after the release".
Many standard features, which everyone would expect to be in a released MMO, where not present. Like a search system in the market ward. And no boss fights (not instanced and not in the open world). From level 1 to level 50 and at the "endgame" the contents were Leves and Behest. Only 3 or 4 months after the release the first handfull bosses were added as Leve NMs.

To be fair much of my statement was said without a cool mind, that said Koji fox did said in the documentary that they also thought that what once worked with FFXI would work with FFXIV 1.0, but they didn't thought about the change of mentality of players in the years.
Also to be fair I think we have been a bit too much lenient on release content for 2.0, a game releasing nowadays with the amount of content 2.0 launched would not work well by today's standards, Imho much of 2.1 content was content that should've been released with 2.0, that kinda created an illusion of what patches would have

@Nezerius I don't agree that ultimate is to be considered world first race only content, it's hardcore content uet, but I believe anyone should give it a shot, it's the end goal of PVE and as such it should be respected

Also I'll repeat it again I agree that it's not a good idea of this staggered release, I too want to have a choice of what to do and don't like having rails
