There has not been a single major patch without a critical issue since Endwalker.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a pet battle. I usually complain and give examples of where SE can improve. CC is nice, but it gets sick really fast. I'm giving options for things that could take our time without being necessary to get Gear.

The gold saucer events, for example. They amused me a lot at first, making me forget about the main quests, just to stick around. The problem is that they stopped in time with the content, they even said that they would renew the GS, but so far nothing has come. This would be another tip on how to entertain people for long periods.

You have to imagine your audience, think of something that most people would get distracted from, and release something in this aspect, something that doesn't get sick quickly, so that people forget that the next patch is 5 months away.


EDIT: I reached my daily post limit, but I couldn't leave it open and look like I just disappeared

This I can't stop saying, I'm sorry. Even those who defend SE with claws say that "you are crying for nothing, Patch X.X always lacks content due to X". What I want to say in the end is: We don't have content that holds our attention for LONG periods. Just content that will entertain us for 1-2 weeks and otherwise, as SE supporters would say, "Do something else, play another game, go step on the grass outside".
