    They have stat tracking on how much players actually play said content that they add so they know what to look for.

    Ultimates, eureka/bozja which are a huge upgrade to Heavensward's Diadem that they actually kept in the game, criterion and PvP or even the island are "new" things so to speak since Stormblood.

    The only reason why FFXIV is slow and tedious in terms of making changes or developping new, refreshing content is because they listen the JP community too much and are very limited due to the nature of the engine of the game.
    The base code and engine for the game is terrible due to the fact that they had to rush game developement, you just have to see how long it takes for a friend list to load, the very limited choices for hair colours, the fact that they can't put a glamour dresser in houses without it crashing the servers, and how hard it is for them to optimize the maps so they don't start lagging ur game and obviously the item dyes/clothing physics etc.. the list keeps on going

    Pretty much why I personally hope they'll make a new MMO one day, with a decent base and engine that'll make things to be much more interesting
    Lol you people are truly on copium if you think a new engine would magically solve what is ultimately a directorial and management issue.

    Didn't say it would solve anything so don't try to twist my words, I even mentionned the fact that they are listening to JP community which is in itself a directorial/management issue, just that it would be "much more interesting" if they had an easier ground to develop things on;
    they do have sh*t budget and a low amount of staff members for the current scale of the game so I agree on the management issue
