Thread: 4.5 month patch release is NOT a problem

Even with better shelf life, very little content is going to last nearly five months without a significantly improvement on quality or simply more content in general as Kaurhz said. So yes, the longer patch cycles are very much a problem.

Ironically, your mindset is more different than those you're criticising. You're "single-mindedly focused" on one part of the greater whole.

It always hinges on if said people have content that they are personally interested in, and if they burned through it faster than the majority of players or not. What affects it a lot is that SE makes content for different types of players in different patches, so that many players actually have to wait multiple patches for the content they like.

This argument really needs to die.

Even taken at a slow pace, most content in this game simply lacks any sort of longevity. Artificially stretching out it out doesn't change that fact. Take the 7.1 MSQ. It's roughly two hours, give or take. I still haven't finished it because I simply don't care after how underwhelming DT was. That doesn't make the MSQ suddenly a month's worth of content. I simply chose not to engage with it beyond unlocking the dungeon for a month.
