How many of those single content F2P games have the same players now as they had 4 years ago and how many of those players are driven by a new X being added to collect as opposed to enjoying the content?

I don't think the game is being designed for people who hate it (no matter what impression the forums leave). It's being designed for players who like it but also like playing other games. Play until satisfied, then go play other games, then come back for new content.

Is that such a terrible thing?
The game makes up such a huge chunk of Square's annual income that it kind of is for them. If you don't do savage/ultimate prog on-content for fun, patches are so infrequent and light nowadays that you get the best experience out of the game by playing through X.0, unsubbing until X.5 comes out about 2 years later, playing through what's been added, and then because that definitely won't take 4 1/2 months, you unsub again until X+1.0 assuming you still care by that point.
