Where is all the content?

Careful pal, this much truth will net you a lot of scorn.

I couldn't believe what we actually got during the Garlemald stuff, I was hoping for a really nice elaborate design but it's just... a fluffy jacket with hideous modeling.

Still can’t believe after not giving us a tataru glam in ShB, they had the audacity to give us one in EW being a reskin… Yet another example of mass reskins this expansions.

Expansions are huge in this game. Volume is never an issue. Personally I'd like different types of content rather than the same stuff every year, but people would just math it out and complain that we went from 74 corridors down to 45. They had to stop selling the game because it's too popular, so my personal preferences don't really matter.

To be fair, it's a combination of different factors. Perhaps most importantly, the servers simply aren't able to handle the player load they were faced with. A lot of people are stuck at home with more free time than expected and so MMO's are making a bit of a comeback as a consequence. WoW has also been infused with controversy after controversy for a while and a lot of people decided to quit and find something else to play. However, GW2 and ESO have also been seeing renewed interest and they have been around for about as long as FFXIV has.

Even with WoW's decline, though, FFXIV is seeing more popularity but it hasn't reached the same numbers as WoW during its 'golden era' nor is it likely to do so with the insistence on playing it safe at every possible turn.

I do think FFXIV is the best option on the market at the moment, but that isn't saying much given the competition.

They forget we get free 89 unique gear for each job from a vendor instead of grinding it in a dungeon, that scales to 90, and you expect them to remember how content is released? Pfffbbt...
Or that we'll be getting info on the island sanctuary later?
Or that ShB was the unique expansion that gave a mount for leveling all combat jobs?
Or That PvP content is coming later?
That normal gear has been re-skins since HW?

Not sure they do realize, could be wrong though! People want it right now, all of it!

That free unique gear at 89 is literally no different than the gear we got at 70 and 80. It’s the af gear. They just released it at 89 so they could scam us out of getting an 89 gear set from the 89 dungeon. People realize reskins have always been a thing, it’s the fact that they’re far more rampant than they’ve ever been. Like someone else pointed out, we got no tataru glam at the end of shb and we finally got one for EW but it’s literally a reskin, not even unique.

Curiously, last I checked the 79 gear in ShB was just reskins of the level 50 gear from WoD. The level 80 Job Quest gear was the Weathered. Not sure how any of it's a scam, as your words make zero sense since they literally give it to you earlier on and let it scale even. If anything, that's a boon.

Funny enough the crafted gearset we got just 4 weeks later was a reskin of the Mt Gulg gear, and thus the gear from WoD, and it was dyable.. That Mt. Gulg gearset really had some incredible longevity to it.

It’s a scam because we’re literally missing out on a gearset. The level 80 role quests gear was the weathered yes, aka the AF gear, same as the gear we get this expansion at 89 lol. Except in ShB we got the 79 gulg gear which while a reskin, we at least got it. We didn’t get any left side gear from the 89 dungeon.

Sooo... you're just mad, they didn't put in a useless set for gear for one level?

Color me confused on how pointless that would be....

How would it be useless? They could either give us a unique glam for the dungeon or if they did decide to use a reskin, make it be dyable and a set that hasnt been dyable in the past. Just because its useless to you doesnt mean its useless to others.

Well, we already get the free gear at 89 without being forced to do the time sink of it, instead getting the benefit of making it dyable once 90 through role quests. It reduces the grind needed to get geared up for start doing content, while giving us a unique look, versus your proposed idea that they should have added a re-skinned set in the 89 dungeon, that would be useless in 1 level anyway if they did it the old method, just to get some glamor items that most won't use since just reskins of reskins.

I'd say that's fairly useless to waste time on in development and in player time. People are already crying, you included, about the reskins already. So what is it? Give us reskins, or don't give us reskins? Don't go back and forth on it.
