We get like 5 hours of content every 4 months. For a game that charges monthly, not at least having beefy monthly events during a content drought is just suspect asf. Look at how excited people are getting over the moogle event, and what even is it? An event where we run old content, to get items that are mostly already in the game, save one earring. This wouldn't take a long time to develop. Why can't we get something like this every month? I mainly edited to clarify that I'm not out here demanding new MSQ chapters monthly or something. Just give people who are caught up something to do that actually lasts, otherwise it's like "why am I paying for this"
The main point of the part you quoted was optics really. There's someone putting in monthly work for our monthly sub, but it's reflected in the cash shop because this game's basically a cash cow that gets updated 3 times a year.
And yet you have people saying that the game is "thriving" and on an upwards trend, logging in the game literally shows most people afk in Limsa doing absolutely nothing, and those are the people left after the 25% that already left over the past 3 months according to steamcharts.

In the 75% left, there are bots in thousands, alts accounts, people afking in Limsa every single day as they watch youtube or play other games, people doing ERP or going to venue, hanging out, and a tiny minority doing actual content, simply because this game absolutely has 0 content to do, it's an absolute bore, but you'll always have people defending the lack of content and even when it does come out, the mediocrity of it.
