    And maybe just take a break? There is no reason why you need to play constantly XIV tbh. except ofc your obsession with the forums.
    Take a break is just an excuse for poor development cycle. Why this is sub based mmo then?

    So, you can't answer that question. Enough said.

    It was a simple question lol. I guess you don't have an answer for it though.

    I didn't even mention WoW. It was a genuine question.


    The last major mmo I played was GW2, and it's content patches when I played were sporadic and empty, mostly seasonal event stuff.

    Many "gamers" are adults with a job, often a family, and kids, and don't have the time nor interest to invest a lot of time into a video game. That's one of the reasons why the game is getting full solo support as well. Some are crafting and pentamelding their Indagators sets (which takes around 10 000 years) while some show the middle popoto to it and will just get the scrip set at 6.4 that will work similarly (yet slightly weaker) at a fraction of the time needed to acquire. Not to mention "plot watchers" that show up for expansion launch and then some major patches and after that, they are gone. Thus as in any game, the number of people at the very top will be small while the number of people close to the bottom will be the highest and so it's not really feasible to constantly dump more hardcore content for 24/7 players while most of your player base (income sources) is slotted way lower.

    I don't understand how casual players should be an excuse for making stuff like savage last for 8 months (even and odd patch). No one stops them doing more content for casual players aswell.

    Game has outdated patch cycle but w/e se white knights will defend anything.

    If the game isn't centered around hardcore players then there are very few players that would play this content while it has a cost attached to it. They have a finite amount of resources and knowing Square Enix they constantly want to make some new weird game, NFTs, and whatnot which is pulling parts of the FF14 profits to that as well.

    It's not perfect but that's all they have to offer. I quit early 6.1 and now came back and when I saw the DoL/DoH gear mats tree I'm questioning if I should even bother with this boring time sink or just level some alt jobs for fun and GTFO to another game until maybe 7.0. Single player offline games are getting superior by the day

    Typical response. Don't like the answer, yells "White Knight". Refuses to answer specific questions. Probably because they don't have an answer to an intelligent question.
