FFXIV patch content in a nutshell

[Kaurhz]

I think they are sacrificing content development atm to make up for the graphics overhaul in 7.0. lol.

Partially,

But I don't really think the amount of sacrifice is greater than what people think. Mainly because the issue is not with the amount of content we've got, just the underlying reason and incentive to actually continually replay the content. Like, with IS they've still had to develop a zone, and they've still had to develop the objects and assets in that zone e.g., the workshop, Granary, Cabin, and Landmarks.

I actually agree with this assessment of content. I don't mind doing a grind if at the end I have something to show for it. One thing I really liked was the archeology skill from ESO because I could dig up unique items for my houses. I loved it. I don't mind grinding if I have a goal to complete. This is where things fail here in FFXIV for me personally, I would spend hours decorating my houses in ESO. I can't even bid on a house here yet. I love the neighborhood idea but it's so limited by the system it uses in ability for people to obtain one. I like to collect things, I'm not a raider but one thing I can participate in normal dungeons and not feel outcast which is nice. So mid core content is something I really hope for in the future. The graphics update is long overdue.
