No content for 1 year :)

At the moment I am doing the suggested grind of Splendorous Tools. This is just hitting macros for several hours after putting every item in a Garland data/teamcraft list and eventually a shiny main hand happens. The hardest part is remembering to re-up food if it falls off in between 30 crafts. I do like the tools at least, they are very pretty. I love the frying pan and am glad I did it first. This sadly is only finite and for how easy it is to macro isn't really lasting content.

Long lasting for who though?.

Is it better to give 0% of players long lasting content or 20% of players long lasting content?

By your logic we shouldn't produce bread ever again because not everyone gets to eat the bread

In that case, there's no problem since there always has been a long-lasting piece of content in the game that many players already participate in.

Accumulating gil. There's no barrier to entry other than completing the first 2 quests every new character gets and accepting the third. There are multiple options to enhance a player's experience with the content. Reach gil cap, move part of the gil elsewhere and keep going.

All is well on Etheirys now, right?

Please tell me this is a joke

Of course it's sarcastic. A MMO is not going to survive with only a single piece of long lasting content that has appeal to a small segment of the player base.

And if you actually read their point then you’d understand that giving a small segment a long lasting piece of content is better than giving none of us a long lasting piece of content

Love Bozja or hate Bozja you can’t deny some people loved and it kept them subscribed, there is no equivalent keeping people subscribed that is unique endwalker content

So you are saying “the game can’t survive off a long piece of content for only a small part of the community” and acting like that’s an excuse to give nobody content

No, however it would be a start to have something long lasting. The added benefit of creating evergreen content is it generally needs much smaller improvements as time goes on, making it easier to focus on additional evergreen content without abandoning the old. Take Island Sanctuary, for example. With actual depth it could have easily served as a lighter version of farming simulation games with built in longevity. Instead, it's little more than a glorified retainer venture that wouldn't last a week without artificial timegates. And even with those gates has less than 10 minutes of activity a day.

The whole point of MMOs is building multiple sources of evergreen content to cover as many demographics as they can so patches don't stagnate. Which is something Endwalker has completely failed at doing.

Almost like you can magically drop your sub and come back when enough new content is around worthnit
