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

Can we remove silly weekly/daily lockouts and silly FOMO incentives from this game then please? I'd like to do the content at my own pace and then get on with my life until the next patch .


There is a difference between allowing a break and forcing one. If Yoshi-P wants me to take a break so bad if I finish the content, then why won't he let me finish the content and move on? If he wants us to take a break, then why is PVP FOMO incentivized to force you to play during that series to get those rewards? Unreals are seasonal patch content. Your favorite trial but at 90?? Make sure you play during this patch which funny enough...is also a weekly lockout XD. Hell even the ultimate when it releases is a weekly totem lockout for some reason. Don't forget about limit housing with demolition D:. Alliance raid, tome caps, etc. If the motto of XIV is to play the game how you like and then take a break until the next patch, then why are these systems in the game?

Because you're the one choosing to do it, not him. He isn't forcing a gun to your head. Sorry, but it's a you problem.

Yes, I am totally choosing to not receive another coin during my second Euphrosyne run of the week. That is definitely not the game forcing it. All those extra savage runs i did? Yeah i didnt want anything from them anyway!... /s

So you're complaining about not being BiS when gear is just going to be invalidated in less than 4 months. My guy, what is the point? If this was before 6.3 I'd understand, but we're almost to 6.35 and 6.4, where the final gear ilvl upgrade occurs for the expansion.

If the gear doesn't matter, then why does it need to be arbitrarily limited?

To prolong the relevancy of raid content. Without it, you'd get less parties wanting to rerun it since people will get what they need within a week, heck maybe less than a week. And then we'd have even more people complaining about not having much to do.

But it has the opposite effect. People do their one clear and then peace out for the week. If they could farm gear, people would be more inclined to join PF groups and the like to, say, play an alt job or something.

If there isn't a point to it, then why is it still capped? Why is it capped at all if it will just be invalidated by crafting gear 2 patches after the tier releases XD? Again to my point: If Yoshi P wants me to take a break, why do they arbitrarily limit so much content? If you have a reason for it, then Yoshi P doesn't want us to take a break, which brings us back to the issue of content

But then isn't the answer to that "just take a break lmao"?
