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

[LianaThorne]

Lol, what do you think beast tribe quests and custom deliveries are?

They space out content so all playstyles are given adequate time to finish things and not feel rushed. If there's not enough for you, can dive into older content or take a break till the next patch. A lot of people use the downtime to work on achievements, level alt jobs, clear old raids or even basic stuff like stockpiling mats for patch day crafting & gil making. Find something else you enjoy doing or take Yoshi's advice and turn to a different game for now. You won't miss anything.

That might be a side effect, but their real intention is to keep players subscribed as long as possible. We aren't at WoW levels of time gating, but that's exactly what it is. Time gating.

erm, am i the only one who remembers that Yoshi-P explicitly told the community to take breaks from the game to avoid burnout? They have never built the game around the idea of *always* having something to do. they actively encourage players to play other games between patches

They should remove the sub then and make the game buy to play. There is no real purpose in it. It would be more consumer friendly.

sure, if you want Square Enix to add MTX into the game itself as the primary source of income, instead of just having a cash shop that has no connection to the game itself and a subscription based service.

It's almost like you've never seen how bad MTX is in MMOs that are buy to play.

Don't like it don't buy it.

i hope you understand the irony when i tell you the same thing.

If you don't like having to buy a sub, then don't. go play something else and quit trying to ruin the game for everyone else.
