How do I spend more than 1 hour doing content in this game?

That person does, at most, Extreme content.
What we got this patch so far was one Extreme, the 24 man, and the Ultimate.
If you are not into the Ultimate, then that is no real time consuming content. The Ex fight is a 12 minute fight after prog, and the endgoal of that is mount or 99 clears. The 24 man you run once a week.
However, if you want to gaslight yourself into thinking that is enough, then be my guest, I am done talking to a wall. :v:

The only guaranteed "lasting" content in 7.1 is the Ultimate, which can take groups weeks to months to prog, learn, and complete, and that kind of content is definitely not for everyone.
Not saying this content is bad, I am happy that raiders have this kind of content, but you have to admit that Ultimates is not something with widespread appeal.

Any content in this game has the appeal you allow it to. If I for example only considered Gold Saucer as "fun and engaging content" and actively stated there was no content being released in the game because Gold Saucer didn't get an update (which maybe gets an update every other major patch?), I should be dismissed for an objectively wrong opinion. If I choose to then avoid PVP, Hunts, Crafting, Island Sanctuary etc, how can I then make the argument the game has no content, in the current expansion, that is time consuming?

Savage / Ultimate are literally HALF if not sometimes more (in the case of this patch), of every major patch cycle in XIV. If you still choose to not do this content, then you are literally gimping your sub experience by half. That's a choice you are ACTIVELY making. We all agree on this.
This same argument I'm making can also be applied in the reverse. There are people who beat Savage and Ultimate Week 1, and then say the game has no content, while also being unwilling to engage in all other forms of content.

My point is simply, don't say the game doesn't have content in DT. Say the game doesn't have content YOU want to do. That's perfectly fine.
