    Yeah, I don't do Ultimates.
    At best, Extremes. I do not have people to do it, nor clear Savage since I -- again -- do not have people to do it. Nor I do Party Finder.
    Also, tbqh...

    If I am forced to do the same thing, for 2 months, with no actual option of variety?
    I should just be playing MOBA or an Online Shooter at this point, same vibe.

    So basically when they release new current content, you choose not to do it anyway? And then claim there isn't content in the game?

    On the chance that I sound like a broken record: not everyone is a raider, not everyone enjoys "this is a room with a boss" raids. Most combat content in this game is "this is a room with a boss" raids at this point. All meaningful, repeatable PVE combat content in Patch 7.1 (with the exception of the 24 man raid) is "this is a room with a boss" raids (Sphene Ex, FRU, Chaotic). And the 24 man is something that is only meaningful for a single run per week (possibly 2 if you are unlucky with drops).

    FF14 used to have a wider variety of content to play that was not "this is a room with a boss" raids. People wanting that kind of content should not be met with "just play content you don't like", but with an appeal to Square Enix, asking "where is that content you promised?". Relic Grind should not release a year after expansion release, it should drop earlier either with a Field Operations instance or a Deep Dungeon.
    Having a variety of different kinds of things to do in an MMORPG is a net positive for every player of this community, regardless of their own interest.

    So basically, ya'll prove my original point of the game DOES IN FACT get content, people just choose not to engage with it and then complain it doesn't have anything to do. You can not in good faith make the argument that the game doesn't have any content to do, while actively ignoring the content that is released.

    Thanks.

    So basically, you ignore the fact that people are allowed to dislike raids, and claim that there is no content for them to do if all of the game is raids?
    You are not arguing in good faith either, so I guess this discussion is over

    Incorrect. I am arguing you cannot say the game doesn't get content, especially long lasting / evergreen content as that is objectively incorrect.

    People should instead state, "When FFXIV releases long lasting content that could occupy me for a few months, I am actively choosing not to do it because I don't like that type of content." That would be actually true.

    If people want to dismiss arguably 50% of the game released every major patch cycle while also claiming there isn't enough content, your argument really doesn't have weight.

    Incorrect. You are saying that people should just play raids if they want combat content.

    There are players that are stating the there is no content to do that they enjoy, and then people like you swoop in speaking of content from past patches or raids where people are asking for content that is not raids. It is you who is actively ignoring the issue at hand, which is a lack of variety of content that is not raids.

    When raiders were understandably frustrated at the second ultimate of ShB being cancelled nobody argued “dungeons are content you can’t claim there is no content for raiders” because arguing pointless semantics benefits nobody
    Louder for the people in the back, please.

    Aye because the addition of Savage into the mix makes the content last months LMAO
