Regarding that Finaland Interview...

[Noodle_Trinidad]

German Media : Since A Realm Reborn, the end game pattern haven’t a lot : Farming tomestones, four high level raid and alliance raids, is there any plan to break this pattern and doing something new or are you going to continue to follow it ?

Yoshida : Currently we have added the even higher end, the Ultimate raids, but beyond that we still haven’t considered anything yet. However for the Disciples for the Hand and the Land, we are thinking of some new type of end content for those classes, but we can’t tell you anything about that yet.

To me this is the worst part of the interview, the overall feel from all the communities so far has implied that the majority is bored with a predictable patch cycle. The fact that he has not even considered that for 5.0 really makes me question what the next expansion will even do to evolve this game if anything.

Right now, it just seems like you can look forward to the story and some QoL, which is great if that's what interests you the most and not so great if you want more than a new chapter in msq.

And yes, I'm aware of unconfirmed new jobs + race but let's be realistic, that's the sort of novelty in this current climate that starts fading away in about six months time.
