Things sure have been stale around here...when is the next major patch ?

[Jojoya]

This delay, while completely understandable given the whole pandemic, really does highlight how flawed FFXIV's design approach is. A month delay shouldn't put the game on near life support in terms of content yet... here we are. Hell, I've been running out of things to do besides cap since May. And that's with me taking a break to play other games.

There really needs to be more longevity at this point.

So what is missing?

Personally I have plenty to do right now and I've got far more time on my hands to be playing than most players.

The problem isn't the developers. Content does take time to develop.

The problem is players who rush through content at breakneck speed then complain when they run out of things to do. That's their choice to play that way. They need to accept responsibility for that choice.
