"Revamp/Rework" obsession

You only have to look as far as FFXI to guess where the future of FFXIV lies. More minor map updates that utilize existing map building assets featuring enemies that are also reused assets, or assets with different textures/skins over existing asset skeletons. Modular alterations of existing armor sets for drops. Besides, why dump tons of cash into developing additional content when people drop $$$ on mogstation just to /songbird in LimLom with the new moneyfashion.

Well to be fair, if its one thing ive learned from playing this game so long, its that if i were to make an MMO the very first system i would build up would be a tailer/clothing customization system. That seems to be what many are more interested in than anything else. Get that and a great modular crafting/resource gathering mechanic out the gate(more leaning towards survival games for crafting usefulness, with probably a levelling system similar to this games Then after I got these systems working as good as a fashion designer tool kit, I would work on making the combat extremely engaging and customizable. Seems like how you would make a game without having to pump clothing sets in the cash shop every few months, people would just create their own clothing with things like sleeve templates, and the best part the stats wouldnt matter either, just have an equippable like a bellt with higher stat values that determines your defense or something.
