Most legacy raiders have already long quit with how stale raiding is.

There are so many people who go like "as a raider I'm eating good" and it's so silly because you look up their profile and they got their first Savage clear 2 months ago LMAO

7.25 wouldn't be that bad and make sense if time between patches weren't massively increased, Thing is we should already be in 7.2, 7.25 should be coming in around a month.

My only worry with 7.2 having Occult Crescent is how little there would be to do in 7.25, but then again at least this type of content is more replayable then most forms of content, I just feel as the issue we're having longer and longer wait times for the same amount of content we were getting in shb's just a lot slower.

Just to clarify I'd still love for it to be in 7.2, don't see that happening though.

The appeal here is that we need this content now, not later. Some critics say delay it.
Delaying the casual content just because the next four savage tiers are coming out isn't a particularly great idea. We're losing the player base and we need some casual content to keep busy.

Savage players are going to play regardless, but maintaining the casual player is crucial right now. Waiting any longer (ie pushing it back to April) is going to further thin out the game. Chaotic Alliance came out in December, and we're in a draught to keep the non-raiders busy.

I'm very hopeful that the Occult Crescent is available Day 1 on Patch 7.2 content.

I have a feeling that it'll only be the crafting area in 7.2 but I'll hope occult Cresent comes out at least until I know for sure. I honestly plan on running savage as soon as 7.2 releases, but it would be nice to turn my brain off in an expansion zone on the days I don't raid. Savage release isn't a good reason to not release the expansion zone. It should realistically be available on release and I think I can speak for most savage raiders and say they would would agree with me. Expansion zones may not be our favorite thing, but it's something to do after the weekly lockout.

They did try that with the diadem and it was a mess. I can see why they want to keep it separate. They could try it again, but it may ruin an entire expansion for the casual player base. If the expansion zone and crafting zone fail this expansion is dead in the water gor casual players.

I prefer raiding in ffxiv over wow for a few reasons. One is the ultimates are more fun, second is not having the requirement of using addons, and last is well telegraphed mechanics. I also know people use addons to clear content, but they're not required like they are if you want to do mythic+ raids.

Diadem was a mess not because they fused crafting with battle content it was a mess because the battle content didn’t make any sense, wasn’t fun and was a BIS RNG fest around proccing the special mission

They have the formula for field content mostly down now. Dumping crafting and gathering into Bozja as Bozja stands now wouldn’t ruin Bozja, the same can be said for shades triangle

I've always been puzzled by this concern players will be "overwhelmed by content" if a lot drops at the same time.

How does one recognize this if it happens? Cold sweats? Palpitations? Hyperventilating?

Given the broad spread of interests of the player base, along with the ability to logout if the stimulation produced by the game creates a panic attack, my feeling is that overwhelming us with content is not really a concern.

imho, the "overwhelmed by choices" thing is an excuse. To me, it seems more like CS3 are doing it to funnel players into a specific content direction so its well populated right from the start.

Personally, my wishes would be that they release Occult Crescent in 7.21, right when savage drops, even if I know full well this will never happen. We're most likely getting it in 7.25, because CS3 truly is against changing their release schedule.

I think we should change this to say the game is lacking content period because the meager content they do release is over in just a few moments of partaking in it. If they were releasing content fast enough or at least huge segments of content in longer periods, then everyone would likely have something to do, given more content means you'll find something. And before DT released, I thought they were going to change to doing that by releasing all the content right away they were talking about. But I was naive to think they would change the "system", they continue to spread it thin and leave the playerbase doing the current content famished after. As it is now, no one is eating good here; we're all starved lel, unless you are a new player or just someone who doesn't play the game.

I said it before, but it's bad when a mobile game releases more content than an mmo monthly...especially with more engaging game design and gameplay.

And yet they spend months working on that "few moments" of content. It's because it's an intentional design decision:
