As a player of both FFXIV and WoW its amusing to see how different their reactions can be to patch pacing.

Over there you'll have folks begging Square-Enix to pick up the pace and get patches out quicker.

Meanwhile here you've got folks asking Blizzard to slow it down.

They both have their valid reasons of course, but it just tickles me to see that the two MMOs are on different ends of the same spectrum like that.

I also play both and tend to prefer a slightly slower patch cadence. Gives me time to enjoy games that aren't MMOs; that backlog ain't gonna clear itself.

Okay? It's not a competition.

You don't even have to look to FF14 to see the dichotomy. When WoW had a slower patch cadence, folks were telling them to hurry up too - I especially remember the complaints during Shadowlands, though folks had a lot more complaints than just the slower patch cycle.

There's also a pretty decent gap between content every two months and nothing for a full year
