i would argue that one of wows biggest problems actually was trying to find "forever content" , they knew they could never produce content faster than people would consume it (something which the ff forums proof pretty much every single day) so they opted for turning the gear grind eternal which made pretty much no one happy.

now i'll admit that ff does have shortcomings with making content last, there are several things i believe could be handled better in that regard, but considering in here you are a "white knight" if you say people are free to state their opinion but should do so in a respectfull tone and at least try to look at the bigger picture (instead of just homing in on what they personally believe to be the most important issue(s) without any regard for the possibility that in the grand scheme of things they might be wrong on that, or that the thing they have issue with indeed is "more important" than something else that gets worked on but would also take 5 times as long to fix) it's no wonder the devs are so silent.
