    Also, less content (1 dng) per patch now? Does that mean we're getting other content to fill that "void," or are we just getting less content over all now?
    We aren't getting less dungeons because of resources, we are getting less dungeons because there are so many in the game and they want to keep content fresh rather than stagnant. Something I agree with. We got a ridiculous amount of content in 5.1 compared to past patches (24 man, Hades EX, Ultimate, Ishgard restoration, BLU, PVP, New game +,massive overhaul of crafting and gathering, and a large number of other changes and additions such as fellowships), so complaining about less content is kinda ignorant if not entitled.

    Also did you completely ignore the fact that we are getting an additional trial in 5.2? That alone, regardless of what it is, makes up for a lost dungeon.

    If you read the first post in full, you could see I wasn't complaining. xD I was asking if they specified whether 1 less dungeon means more content elsewhere, or if we should be concerned (i.e. less content over all). But thanks for the response! That seems to be the general idea (more content), but so far it seems shaky as to what that "more content" will take place as.

    I'm honestly amazed so many responded to this thread. Only expected one or two comments to explain and that be it. xD /Goes to read all the comments

    After reading a bit:

    When people don't read the original post and just presumptuously post. xD /Shrugs/ Why even post? Just makes you look silly.

    I would cry (legitimately cry - probably) if it turned out to be more Eureka. They really need to just... Let it go. I think it's neat that they're removing enemies from Diadem so DoL can gather in peace, though.

    Hopefully it doesn't turn out to just be DoL/DoH. I get they're trying to push them, but it's really not my thing. I like making money via dungeon-running/raiding with friends. DoL is pretty therapeutic weirdly enough (I'll probably won't invest in it, though... maybe?), but crafting is just... not my thing.

    Not really sure how I feel about umbrellas (be they mounts or something). If it is a mount and it turns out to be Poppins' style, could easily just hover you over the ground in non-flight areas like that hand mount does. It just seems kind of random, so... Guess I'll just have to wait and see what it is, along with what this new content will be. xD

    P.S. A friend I were talking about this, and we both agree that regular content (i.e. dungeons) and DoL/H content shouldn't be struggling for power (or as he put it "at war with each other). We both think since SE is such a big company, both content should be achievable side-by-side -- ideally. If they're sacrificing content for the sake of a different type of content, then perhaps (though this is obvious even before now) they should add more people to their team and delegate better so that they can continue to provide. But that's an ideal and it will never happen, so there's that. Hopefully it means more MSQ or other content pretty much everyone would do as opposed to just DoL/H stuff.

    I won't be coming back to FFXIV's forums. The forum vibe is way too venomous and brings out the worst in me. I don't like who I am on the forums, so it's best to distance myself.

    Thats how SE releases content, something which I do have an issue with. Toning down dungeons for the content we are getting is a good thing, the problem is that long form content comes out of the gate half baked so they can spread it across the expansion. Thats an entirely different issue for a different thread though.

    We get additional trials all the time. The Crysalis, Yojimbo, etc. This extra trial does not make up for 1 less dungeon. Pretty soon it'll be 1 new dungeon every other patch.
