Subjective opinion. I main SMN, and while it is completely utterly different from XI, it's still fun to play. It got moreso with AKH MORN! aka deathflare.

After that, the same old spam the same dungeon forever, do the raid once a week because of the lockouts.
I'd rather do something a couple times a week and get what I want than spam it 5000 times fighting for that <1% drop rate to work in my favor.

Sadly for them, and for a lot of people, they are missing out on the gem that is FFXI, and as Stompa said, it is in its golden age right now.
Not all of us are missing out on it. \o/

If you don't enjoy FFXI anymore, that's too bad I guess but I keep wondering why so many people who are enjoying FFXIV -oh so much- keep coming here or on other FFXI forum.
In most cases, it's because we still like XI too. Shocking as it may seem, liking FFXI and liking FFXIV are not mutually exclusive.
