Subscription Cost Vs. Content Drops

[Clockworks]

Uh... but the time between patches isn't increasing. It's been 4.5 months for a bit now. At least since EW. I think they made the time between patches longer officially then, but even during ShB it was about that length. Not to mention, if you really want a comparison technically 13.00 today isn't worth the same amount as 13.00 dollars back when the patches were 3.5 months apart courtesy of the wonderful world of inflation. Honestly, I'm beyond stoked that MMO subs have remained the same despite inflation which has technically made them consistently cheaper year after year.

That said, is it worth it? Yeah. Yeah it is. Granted YMMV, but for me it is more than worth it. I get my gaming needs met on top of being a RPer and the game being essentially the best RP friendly MMO currently on the market. WoW could have a chance soon with housing... though not having dyable gear makes that unlikely and let's be honest... for all the crap one could give SE about their story telling and respecting their lore they are 1000000000x better at it than Blizzard has ever really been.

Every single time Blizzard and WoW are always brought up, it's literally always the same thing, you people only have Blizzard and WoW in your mouth when criticism is said about FFXIV, please get new material, it's seriously tiresome.

I'd agree with you if we were still playing Endwalker, but I'd venture to say the WoW storytelling is significantly better than Dawntrail.

As someone who plays both, no it is not. At best I'd put TWW on the same level as Dawntrail. Though Undermine is like super cringey as hell so far so that might not stay true. DF was about the same too. And then of course there was the "All a part of my master plan" Shadowlands, and for all the failings that DT has it will never be anywhere near as bad as Systemlan- I mean Shadowlands.

Gee, it is almost like WoW is the biggest competition out there for MMOs which is an exceedingly stale market so when comparing cost worth it would be brought up. Strange how that works. Never once did I say FF14 was without its faults, believe me there is a lot that SE has done recently that I don't agree with and wish they would change. On the same token there is plenty they have gotten right. Regardless I was simply offering my take on why it is worth it to me versus the competition that is out there so perhaps the one with the problem is you since god forbid someone actually have a reason to still be playing.
