How is anyone fine with the 4-month patch delivery schedule?

I'm enjoying this little bit of down time, I got Tactics Ogre not too long ago and I'm able to really put the time in and enjoy it without having to worry about falling behind.

FFXIV doesnt need to be your Life. Other games exist. Go play them for abit and come back to FFXIV later
Its not going anywhere.

It's 4 months for the content we're getting which is annoying. 4 months for shit like V&C dungeons, Island Sanctuary, A Deep Dungeon, and another PVP mode they can neglect later on down the road when it's no longer new. I have spent more time in Bozja/Zadnor and Eureka than I have in anything that EW has to offer. Speaking of which why is Bozja/Zadnor still the best leveling method? Why does a skirmish in Bozja give more EXP than a FATE in EW?

I have no complaints. SE has been fairly consistent with content for over 20 yrs. I cannot say the same about companies like SEGA. At least we know patches are coming in 4 months and not 4 years heh.

You pay $65 for a Patch?
Are you admitting to being a bunch of Alts that spam the forums?

One dollar would be too much money to play other games. You can do that for free you know? So yeah, I think we should get some replayable content to last the 4 months at least those with houses are going to be forced to be subbed for. And as far as I know the Wards keep groing so it's going to be more and more people.


There should be three lines of content going on in FFXIV, one line focusing on the casual short bursts of fun for people without the time, one should focus on hard core raiders that want complex fights (we also have this one) and one midcore content line for the long term players, that stayed subbed year round. Why is this opposed? And grind or content that comes out for them isn't targeted at people who don't have the time. People complaining about this shouldn't be rewarded for it.

I would call the three lines of content a reasonable approach. And lets not pretend there isn't a market for it. There absolutely is. The intolerance to it is baffling.

let the house be gone then

also idk, i dont do things on patch so im doing catch up stuff right now , like the slow chip grind at DSR. .3 series is always catch up anyways

top world race is over, people are either still progging it, in that case keeping to themselves, or cleared, twiddling thumbs. My friends that did clear are taking time off and doign things in game to make money, or just unsubbed till .4.

Taking things easy is nice too on occasion, if i had more time id be attempting deep solos, but oh well.

let the house be gone then

Yeah lemme just demolish the FC house. Also lemme demolish the thing that took me years to get. Imagine if you lost all your glam because you unsubbed for 2 months. lol

"But just let someone else stay subbed"

Yeah, lemme also force someone else to stay subbed so the FC house doesn't get demolished, and make the FC feel uneasy about who owns what and why.

In the end, we still need to stay responsible to our communities that AFK for 10 months out of the year because there's nothing to do. It's a burden, and we basically sit and wait for actual content to do with our communities. There's no unsubbing, Yoshi made sure of that. I stay subbed so my community can unsub and AFK with ease.
