    3. Do the new extreme trial which takes like 2-4 hours to clear.

    4. Waste 5 mins every day on beast tribes, and waste 3 mins every week on custom delivery.

    Congratulations that's all you have for 4 months. $60 in subscription fees. That's even less than what you get from the typical AAA single player title.

    With this little content they should be accelerating patch delivery, not slowing it down.
    I bet you're having lots of fun in your other mmo of choice.

    What i'll be doing in .1? Starting the relic chain (hopefully), working on tribes/housing, and getting good in the AR doing it daily at least.

    Oh and getting thru the shb relic steps in my alts -_-

    Good god , what a hell hole that place is. You can feel you brain re-wire itself to decipher the level of stupidity and sheer numbskullery that goes on in their per game forums especially any AAA release.
    Or Reddit where everyone forms a circle and **** the next guy off. If you refuse to enter the practice you will casted out

    Puddingway is awesome, it should have been spelled puddinway giving it a southern accent.

    Ps.. I posted in a Skiros thread on March 1 2022

    Personally I don’t care if it’s 3 or 4 months, that’s fine. But yes I also feel there is little content added if u don’t like savage or extreme, and the sub is then pretty steep.

    I am a mono class player, and like to maximize my characters, but i do not have the time for a static. So currently I just keep my smn current gear wise. And of course if there is new story content I like to experience this. I finished ew msq after 3 days, lvl’ed my wvr and Ltw from 80 to 90 under a day, got rich and then started farming tomestones.

    Since then I only play 3-4 hours a week to get the tomestone after this there is no content to improve my character. I am hoping relic will be available soon as this could be some extra worthwhile content. But the current expected playtime I will need to to improve my char is pretty limited. If u don’t play for glamor at least.

    It’s to me clearly implemented this way to keep subscribed as if I unsubscribe I will lose progress and fallback gear wise as I cannot catch up because of the weekly tomestone limit, i personally understand the reasoning but yes the cost a hour is then worse as some other games and hard to justify.

    Personally ffxiv is on the backburner because of this and I enjoy other games.

    My current expected playtime for ffxiv will be the coming two years.

    6.1 05-2022 alliance raid (1) once a week
    6.2 09-2022 Pandaemonium 5-8 once a week
    6.3 02-2023 alliance raid (1-2) once a week
    6.4 05-2023 Pandaemonium 9-12 once a week
    6.5 09-2023 alliance raid (1-2-3) once a week

    People are more than happy to get 1 dungeon, 1 trial and lost their entire time farming "worthless" tomes every 3-4 months, while staying subbed (15 usd per month ). Players doesn't care about content, as long the developers keep doing the same formula.

    I wonder if the next relic will require to do Crystal tower x30 times, maybe add a 30% drop item on Sastasha and Tam-Tara.

    #3 Event items - The first events gave items that you could trade / buy / sell at any time. Now every item is untradable and the only way to get it is a year after the event for $.

    The dev team is great but there is no denying SE will do anything that they can to milk this game forever.
    First off you went on a different tangent and even added more hyperbole with stating they add 5 to 10 items on the cash shop every month which is not even true. Second off, if you're going to prove a point, don't be hyperbolic.

    Besides Yoshi P said why they're delaying the patch cycle by 2 more weeks and honestly I don't think it's such a huge deal. I got a house in-game too but I'm one of those that never unsubs and only plays XIV, but for someone that has a house and wants to take a break and unsub I'd imagine if they really care to keep their house they'll take a couple weeks break so that they can come back to stop the demolition timer (auto-demo is after 45 days iirc) and then leave again for a couple more weeks if they want to.
