Where is the "never before seen content"?

[Vstarstruck]

To Usho. I dont want to defend the game but I do want to ask what can they change without one losing the bottom line and two what do they change that people will like? Cause they have done things to try to shake the game but none of the stick. And keys be real. Unless they find another way to do it. Tombstones are never going away, the way patches come out aren't either. And why should they? It's set up in such a way that it not only works but also doesn't kill the dev team. Everyone says they want change. But no one thinks of realistic changes that can actually happen. Cause no game flat out changes 90% of what it is cause people get bored.

Name a SINGLE game that copy/pastes itself to this extent. Also FFXIV never " Cause they have done things to try to shake the game but none of the stick" The only thing that comes CLOSE to doing this was diadem and it was not even main line content, but something to do on the side to act as "catch up content"

The only thing I can think of that gets closest to FFXIV's copy/paste progression is sports games and pokemon, and even those do things to change things to an extent. Pokemon you get balancing of typing, new types come out every once in a while, how you go about collecting the 8 badges and elite 4 is done differently and presented differently.

Tomestones do not need to go away, but the 450 cap per week for one job does.

They need to do more then chop up patches into more minipatches in a desperate attempt to keep people subbed though. FFXIV goes WAY overboard with its artificial extending the little content they give out.
