Another Eastern Mogstation Glam?

No one knows the exact impact it has no, but we can go with what we DO know. What we do know is that content already was lacking before covid happened. I’m tired of seeing people use it as an excuse for certain things when it was already a thing before it even existed. There’s not massive amounts of stuff to do in the game. What, relics? I completed Zadnor in a day. Yes it is SE’s fault if i can burn through the relic that quickly because they could 100% design it better. Make it rain event? Wow riveting. Ff14 event? Already seen it. None of that is new. I don’t see it so much as whining as it is pointing out obvious problems with the game. What new content do we have this month exactly btw?

We're getting 5.57 later this month or early next month, and 5.58 in late July/mid August. Make it Rain in July, Moonfire and Rising in August, FFXV in September. Press tour will likely come in October, so we'll get more info for Endwalker there. If you've seen these events before, great! Not all players have, though.

Also, no, it certainly is NOT SE's fault if you burn through content in a single day. Not everyone can or wants to do that. "Design it better" by doing what, exactly? Adding more of the already tedious grind steps that everyone on the forums complain about? The way people whine here on the forums, SE is damned if they do, damned if they don't. As far as touching on the lack of content, I'd really like some examples here because I highly, highly doubt you've done every single piece of content the game has to offer.

Have you maxed all your jobs? Have you maxed out BLU and gotten all the spells? What about Masked Carnivale, have you completed every stage? Have you completed the relic for every single weapon in Bozja? Okay, cool. What about Eureka? HW relics? ARR relics? All the Hildebrand quests? The Scholasticate quests? Have you completed your Triple Triad deck? There are over a dozen Beast Tribes, have you maxed them all? Have you cleared all floors of POTD and HOH? Have you completed your crafting logs? Gathering logs? I could keep going.

Just because the content is not new doesn't mean the content is not there, and just because you don't like what gets added, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. You can't say "there's no content" because that's a bold-faced lie. It's one thing if some of the content is stuff that you don't enjoy, because okay, fine, that's valid. But the content is there. It's not an excuse for anything; there's no excuse needed. I get that SE is a corporation, but at the end of the day the developers are only human, too. People in the forums tend to forget that. They have demands coming at them from all angles and they're not going to be able to please everyone. I'll be the first to admit I have my gripes about some of the decisions they make and things I'd like to see changed. But for crying out loud, have a little compassion for the humans behind the screen.

ETA: Additionally, the coronavirus situation in Japan is a lot worse than in the States, assuming you're a NA player based on your home world. Vaccine rollout has been slow because of bottlenecks in the supply line and they keep getting spikes in cases, resulting in further lockdowns. It sickens me to see people saying "it's not as bad as SE makes it out to be" by basing it on the US situation.
