square enix repeting the same mistakes as WOW?

Corect me if I am wrong but this is the longest time between any patch in ff14. People get of wow for the same reason. How you think this will efect ff14?

SE is not making or repeating those mistakes. It is doing what the WoW devs don't have the desire to do, and that is releasing a product when it is good and ready.

The problem with WoW is that on top of the long patch delay, it also has terrible systems for its endgame progression (ignoring any exterior events that may have also driven people away) that people had been begging for the developers to fix for the entirety of the expansion only to be met with indifference, and now they are only fixing some of the things people wanted fixed. FFXIV's progression isn't nearly as despised as that, and the devs on the whole show more receptivity to player feedback, which has earned much more player trust. Yes this delay will have hurt that trust, but not as irrepairably as the WoW team has with their players.

They explained that this is mainly due to the pandemic.

Delaying the expansion by 2 weeks will also help them releases future patches on time. Since some devs are already working on 6.1 content.

Nope.

Leave WoW at their forums, a lot of us really, really, do not care what they are doing. We are happy here, this game is fine, just stop.

If you watched former WoW streamers they say FFXIV are avoiding WoW's mistakes by delaying until it's ready.

If you knew about WoW you would know the primary cause of burnout is the requirement of an insane grind during a period of no content. There's many other things as well but discontent with the endgame systems is one of the largest reasons of the exodus from WoW

Good thing I've still got some popcorn leftover from earlier to go with this troll post.

Hmmm... ActiBlizz just delayed Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 for completely indeterminate lengths for indeterminate reasons with a press release.. again, and we still don't really know what is taking them so long to push out actual new content for WoW.
YoshiP basically prostrated himself on the floor, and likely would have done so completely if the desk wasn't in front of him, and tearfully apologized for 30 minutes while explaining the exact reasons delay while personally taking on almost all of the blame. For a 2 week delay.
Yeah, totally the same thing.
