How long do you want major patches to be?

How long would you like major content patches to be? For example. The latest patch just released and we have a new raid, new dungeons, new content etc. How long would you like for it to stay?

Personally I like a 4-6 months between major patches so that my progress feels relevant during alonger time.

What do you think, how long between major patches (Not expansions etc, just new major pve/pvp content.

I want it to last as long as possible. Aslo I hope they would implement achievements (like WoW, rift etc..). That would make content for those who love achievement hunting last even longer and get sick cosmetics/mounts and what not.

New content every 4 months. Bug/exploits fixed weekly. Class balances bi-weekly. Cash shop updates every 2-4 weeks.

Those are rather specific. Any particular reason for those numbers?

I think 4-6 months is deal, it really depends on the game's content though. If the game is more pvp-oriented then you should wait longer between major updates and for a game that's more pve-oriented you want shorter wait times. So a pure PvE game really I'd want 3-4 months, buta more PvP type game I'd want closer to 6-8 months. It also depends on what the major update consists of. If major updates is just more dungeons and bosses, I'd say 4-6 is good since it gives time to learn mechanics and maximize your ability to beat them. Whereas if major update includes stuff like major skill rebalance/additions like GW2 when they release a new expansion that introduces new builds then I think you can go up to 8-12 months if you're also adding new dungeons, bosses, and etc on top of it since it really freshens up the game.
