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

[Skiros]

From 3.5 months to 4 months for new patch content isn't that dramatic. That's just 2 more weeks of waiting and they'll be adding quite a lot of content with these patches. At least we're not getting 1 patch after a year...

That's how they get you. 2 weeks at a time. 3 months. Then 3.5. Now 4. One day people will ask "why are we getting a patch every 6 months"? And people won't be able to pinpoint the turning point because it comes so gradually people are numb to it.

It's just 2 more weeks than usual. If you don't have anything to do in the game, unsub for a while, save the money, go outside and touch grass or something.

If you want to do something in the game, you find stuff to do, like collecting things, Triple Triad, Screenshots... a lot of casual stuff.

Edit: Oh, didn't realise who made this topic. Eh, my point stands.

I mean the fact that you have to go out of your way to find stuff to do to enjoy FF14 says it all really.

The unsub argument is ridiculous considering all the ways the game keeps you hooked: housing, tome caps, Savage loot gates, seasonal events, etc.

I would be fine with the unsub argument if the game actually lets you unsub after a month and still allow you to be ready for Ultimates. As it stands, I have to play this game for three months to get BiS for two to three different roles in time for Ultimate. Even if I only cared about a single role that is still two months, which is 6-7 weeks more than necessary. Despite what Yoshi P says, this game is not unsub-friendly.

Not to mention that they intentionally stagger releases so that it covers 2 months of sub time: .x0, .x1, and .x5 always come out in waves to get maximum sub time out of people.
