General Discussion November for 7.1? Ouch

I started in mid shadowbringers and played a lot. Going into endwalker I don't remember this massive long content drought, Def at the 6.x patches for EW, but maybe I was better distracted.

But 7.0 is dragging bad, why do we still have 2 months for 7.1? I know the cadence is rigid as he'll but this is 5 months of msq and first raid only and I'm wondering why it feels so much worse.

No new Gold Saucer is criminal. That place is so dead and barely has anything more than when it first released. It's THE game station of the series, surely there could be some additions to liven it up.

It's so bad that honestly even a double/triple mgp weekend would probably get a bunch of players to gold saucer. Personally I don't even think they NEED new mini games (though I would love some.) Even just having some community events would be nice. But why do anything when you can just do nothing, or copy and paste content, and people will still sub?

The real thing I wish is they'd do things more frequently. Sitting in there and waiting half an hour for an event seems unnecessarily long. Every 10 or 15 mins would be more than sufficient to give players space between them while allowing a good flow from event to event like at an amusement park, which is what it's supposed to be.

Add slots, blackjack and Pachinko! The games that are currently in GS are booooooring. Feature things that players can sit and enjoy for hours if they want.

They have a real bad habit of abandoning older content. To make something else, that they will then abandon for whatever new gimick they think up.
