To me, to each its own in this matter and what should not affected the numbers at all.

For content, I keep wandering how much more content players want. I think this game has more content than any other MMOs I ever seen and we want more??? That can burn out a person in a heartbeat. They should be looking to improve on the content they have now (Better Awards, New Achievements, etc, etc, etc).

It isn't that people necessarily want more content per set. Granted, they do, but it's more an issue of longevity. Take 6.45, which is only now a week old. Everything in it has no longevity whatsoever. Variant can be completed in a few hours or less, the relic is a passive tome farm you can do with zero actual effort and Blue Mage is over in a day or two unless you aim to raid. Speaking of which, Eden Blue and Criterion Savage yet again have zero rewards, thus being relegated to one and done content immediately. While Criterion normal does have a mount, that's very little incentive to farm what is essentially Savage level difficulty. Hence why the previous iteration died within two weeks.

That isn't a whole lot to sink your teeth into, especially for non-raiders. Which is why the relic step has been so heavily criticised and divisive even amongst the more neutral crowd.
