New patch cycles? Fun? [community question]

[Gothicshark]

The question is, does everyone enjoy this type of release style?
(If yes, why? if no, why?)

Yes. If you compare FFXIV to WOW or ESO you will realize really quickly FFXIV is doing it right.

This is not a discussion about my opinion on the topic.

Yet your post is chock-full of your opinions on the topic, and most of them are wrong.

"armchair developer"

Yet your post is basically being an "armchair developer."

Ishgard Restoration:

Crafting game, not my cuppa tea, there are issues, but I'm not a crafter so not my place to comment.

Hrothgar and Viera:

The dev team already stated why they were released as is, they had no time to finish them properly and still get them out. They felt if they didn't release them when they did they would never get the chance again. They can always patch in the other genders and other bits in time.

Gunbreaker and Dancer:

100% disagree, as jobs, they are excellent and do what they do beautifully, they also work at low levels as they made them be backward compatible with all content. It is true they do not have set specific items for ARR and heavensward content, but who cares, They have full gear glamours for everything current, and stormblood. I know as I main Dancer.

New Game+

you are literally complaining to complain here, nothing wrong with doing it the way they are, and frankly no way would I use New Game+ on ARR or Heavensward content, honestly not fun a second time. It's why paid skip for ARR is so popular.

Blue Mage.

and yet there are people who love it, Blue Mage is aimed at being a personal challenge. Can you level it, can you collect all the spells, can you gear it, it's not for the casual gamer.

Unreal Fights.

once again, not for the casual gamer.

Relic Quests.

Complaining to complain, try WOW, bet you'll love the gearing there with the random stats, and the epic grind just to get geared for the next raid tier. FFXIV focuses on gameplay more than gear grinds.

All his posts are like this. He's looking for things to complain about for the sake of it.
