Some people enjoy XIV because of that, others don't. And I sure as hell will never play it again. So when XI is shut down I'll just move on to other games. For instance Korean MMOs are evolving in interesting ways these days, and there are some VR-MMO games in the early stages right now as well. So it's not like XIV is of any importance anymore.
I feel the same bitterness :/. What's even funnier is the producer from XIV made a statement on their forums that XIV is having an event collaboration to "match the grand scale" of XI's finale. It's almost like they want people to quit XI and move over after the update, with a smug grin on their faces. This game was sacrificed mercilessly for that garbage, WOTG with the brunt of it where we recieved like 0 updates and now where the game is being shut off on PC (since they stated they dont want to revamp XI for PC since it will compete with their baby) and being slapped onto a mobile market.
