If the developers announced they would stop adding jobs, would you keep playing?

I would indeed stop playing then and there.

The reason is: with the content(or lack thereof) weve been getting lately, seeing how they implement new jobs and what said jobs can do, is the only thing that is exciting to me as of now. Seems like here lately, their idea of content revolves around tons of grinding. I just really do not want to see more of the same.

I would. I never really switch Jobs. I have my single Main Job and thats it. I dont really care so much for new Jobs now that they released Dancer. Dancer was the only time I switched Jobs because I was a Dancer Main in FFXI and now that its in XIV Im a Dancer Main again and dont intend to switch ever again.

Yes, scholar was the perfect match for me from the start (although it's been destroyed with ShB). I would get much less excited about a new expansion though.

New jobs is always more excitement and diversity, but they seem not have enough time to think well to how rework the others (and why rework them), so I'm fine with one new job only by expansion now.
Of course, a new healer job is the next on the list.

For me it really depends.

If I see the time spent on new jobs be used for new and interesting activities instead, then yes, I would keep playing.
If the expansion would just feel like our standard amount of content but without new jobs, then I would really consider if it's something I want to continue with.

Yes, I'd keep playing definitely. I don't care for more jobs, I care for the world and the story I adore. Give me more of that and I'm happy.

I would go even further and say that I wouldn't mind to be without a contents for 6+ months if that means we finally get rid of "legacy code" and server overhaul

No

but if they did stop adding jobs, they should go back and correct all the mistakes they have made this and last expansion dumbing things down, breaking the levelling experience, ruining playstyles etc so all jobs are fun and unique again with their own strengths, weaknesses, playstyles and identities.

Yeah, this really is an important addendum. As I said earlier, I wouldn't have personal issue with there never being another new job BUT I would want/need to see that resource investment put somewhere else. Maybe in improvement/refinement of existing jobs, maybe in entirely new different content, who knows. If it's just "Hey here's the same amount/type of content except you're not getting any new jobs" then I would waver. We've already seen that with dungeons where a dungeon (and Deep Dungeon) being removed hasn't really felt like we've received commensurate content in other areas to make up for what they've "taken away." Of course, that wouldn't really be about the lack of a new job but would instead be more about another red flag on the development of FF14 as a whole.

I just want class design to get better and BLU to be a real boy.
