No content for 1 year :)

[TheNight]

While this down time does seem long, I do remember significant periods of dead time in this game before expansion launches. The fact of the matter is that no one can create content that lasts longer than it takes to develop it, unless maybe you design a limited currency that takes a few hours to generate and you must generate the max amount every day to be able to acquire gear you need to progress further, but that is a very undesirable system that ends up with a lot of player burnout. In the end this is more of a casual game and has made no attempt to persuade people otherwise, so I'm not sure why people seem to expect something from it that will consume every minute of their time.

Have you ever heard of optional content?

There is a lot of it in XIV, a lot of it people never do and then complain about no content.

True, I didnt fish 10 000 times for the achievement yet, that means there's content for me to do ! /s

Or they have been playing since ARR and already done all of said content. If you are one of those people, games basically in perpetual drought.

So yes, if you have been playing this game for 10 years then you will certainly be caught up on everything you want to do. I find it unreasonable to expect a developer to produce enough content that will keep people logging in everyday or even every week to do something for 10 or more years.

Meanwhile I've been playing WoW on the regular, all caught up and everything, and there is still enough to keep me entertained every week. Mainly because of mythic plus.

So it's not new content you're doing but variations on difficulty of older content then. Also how long have you been playing WoW?

I've played WoW since vanilla and FF14 since ARR. What I REALLY want from FF14 is content that has actual longevity to it. Bozja from last expansion fit the bill decently well, but Endwalker is sorely lacking.

So the game and developers shouldnt take veterans like us into account? The game for every expansion, every patch release must always be centred around new players? Many new players don't have great attention spans for games like this and that should not be catered to, I am fine with people leaving the game and quitting.

So you want them to release content that occupies your every day into eternity? The fact is there will come a point where you will have done everything you want to do and will be waiting for the next, and pretending like this is unique to XIV is just plain ignorant. What exactly is it you want though, new dungeons every week, currency you have to grind every day to be able to acquire gear, something new every month that has never been in game before? There just is no way to create content that takes longer to consume than to develop unless you create daily required grinds to progress.
