Day 8 after last Patch ...

[Absurdity]

Unless you seriously planned ahead for IS, you're not likely to have cleared that. And if you planned ahead to that point, I'd call it rushing the content. Hell, I just reached Rank 14 today in IS.

I don't really see how using knowledge of the game and resources easily available to everyone to gain bonus experience with no extra time spent is suddenly considered "rushing" the content. "Planning ahead" required you to have joined the Overseas Casuals discord at some point between three weeks and 8 months ago and then spend 5 minutes to set up your workshop that you would've done that week anyway, what incredible amounts of effort.

Even if you did none of the incredibly easy preparation for the patch and just started from rank 12 on patch day, there is literally nothing to do with that content besides spending a minute a day to set up your workshop and then leave the island again. This isn't long lasting content, it's barely any content that is artificially stretched out on top of it.

Yes, I always have a 2 week collection saved up and only pick it up with a new update, I didn't max that within a day though it's going to be max tomorrow.

I find that a bit crazy (in a good way). I have OCD and can't leave things on my workshop without picking them up. I actually didn't touch IS for about...4 months before this new update. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but because P8S P1 was burning me out so much that I started to hate the game.

- MSQ done
- Pandemonium done
- New Dungeon done
- New Trial done
- Island Sanctuary Level 15,5, all Buildings Upgraded + all Quests done
- New Craftable Gear 4 Jobs done, Materials for the last 3 Gears already farmed
- Frontline Series Level 11


This is way to less content for 4 Months, in 2 Months we get for Blue Mages some new Spells + 10 Levels, Manderville Weapon upgrade and that's all for the next 4 Months?
I swear if 7.0 brings not a fat chunk of Story + more Content then I will be sad and mad. Even WoW has more content right now.

A: Stop no life-ing the game. You don't have to play 1 game every single day for hours.

B: You no life the game and yet haven't even touched savage in ANY tier. You don't have any EX clears either...

OP, it looks like you haven't messed with Eureka a ton, I guarantee you, there's more than enough 'content' there to fill a few months. I personally couldn't stand it, but it is indeed 'content'.

How does one in this thread define "long lasting content?" Do Eureka/Bozja not fit that bill? Or even the Firmament(sp)? Or is it not long last because you did it all/got what you wanted from it? What do you even consider to be 'good content?' This idea of 'no content'/'too little content' is just a personal grievance, not an objective fact since there's no hard metrics in the public domain to prove who is doing what, for how long or even has whatever from said content. I understand that people want more content, but to say there is none or its lacking is just personal.

Stop saying "I can't wait until expansion x.x." let's just accept they would rather have this stale formula rather than shake things up. BTW I HATE ISLAND SANCTUARY, who the heck asked for that!?

Who asked for Bozja? I sure didn't as I wanted another deep dungeon. You can't always get what you want.

How is it difficult to comprehend that content from years ago was long lasting for the period it was available in that expac cycle, but is no longer lasting due to the current length of time since release and exhaustion of said content?

The problem is you're determining who feels the content is 'exhausted,' not the people who are actually doing it. Plenty of people skip current content like extremes just so they can solo it at different time, so that makes it content for them. Just because you have it already done and dusted when it first comes out doesn't devalue it just because its not 'relevant' to the current power gains. This is more so true when you start to label 'casual' to things, since there are some 'casuals' who do not do extreme fights when they are current. Again, neither of us has actual number to work with in terms of who's still engaging in past content, but to say older content isn't 'content' just because time passes is subjective. I mean even in a game like WoW there's whole communities dedicated to running older dungeons/raids for money/cosmetics/etc. But I guess from your perspective, that's not real 'content.' Again, maybe you can give me your idea of what 'content' in general should be and what is defined as 'long lasting content.'
