Who is SE developing content for in this game?

[Vstarstruck]

Both of these quotes above. And to add to it myself...

IMO, if you were one of those people who felt compelled to do absolutely every little thing in the game that FFXIV has to to offer, there's honestly an overwhelming amount of stuff to do in this game. So much so that I'd rather not even list it all here.

No there isn't, ill ask the same thing to you as to that other poster:

list them, and try to leave out "hard content" that will simply be faceroll in 1-3 months.

Or are you going to list insane stuff like owning complete wards as something to do? That is the only thing I can think of that could be a huge enough time sink to warrant such a statement. decorating them all, that is, and earning gil for all that to do so, while being on an empty server.

OP, just because you cannot find anything to do does not mean there is nothing to do. This game has a ridiculous amount of content that caters to all sorts of players. It is unfortunate if you have not found anything to keep you interested, or anything new to take your interest. What I always say to peeps in your case is if you can't find any enjoyment in the game then you have to strongly consider continuing to pay the monthly sub. You can always take a break, and check out the official patch notes as they release more content to see if anything grabs your attention then.

If that was true you wouldn't have a development team desperately trying to lessen sub> unsub turnover by slowly trickling content, artificially extending the life of what they are giving us. If that was not true you wouldn't have these threads keep popping up. (and consistently talked about in other forms)

What part of my post are you saying is untrue? Are you saying the game does not have a wide range of content that does not cater to a wide range of players? Because that is the only factual statement I am making. It isn't even a bold statement, and it's actually indisputable. The game, in fact, does indeed have a wide range of content to do. If you walk into a room full of different board games and you only like to play checkers and maybe an occasional deck of UNO, then the room itself is not the problem.

Repetition gets to us all at one point or another. Doing the same thing over and over again does indeed get tedious, and even boring. But if you only find a small percentage of the game's content interesting, then you get to the real reason why these threads exist; not because a lack of content. You almost never hear these complaints come from crafters, gatherers, and legacy players because their methods of keeping themselves busy are tried and true. These players tend to explore a wider range of the game's content, and are likely not even finished with everything they want to do before the next patch hits, and many talk about struggling to keep up, especially before another expansion.

I honestly don't blame SE at all for player boredom. Just like I don't blame a library if someone goes in there and can't find anything interesting to read.
