I have a question for you: Why are you still here?

my ambition to make all my DoH into 4 star crafter (seriously this is the job I like from all MMO), grind all DoW job (all DoM complete), need to clear raid, wished to have medium house (currently living on private chamber), and PVP!

ok yeah agreed

If you take a break and come back and find that you're not enjoying it, you're either lacking in friends (I'm a cynic at heart but even I KNOW you need these to make the game interesting) or you're burned out and bored and want a different environment. If you have the time, take up two games (one, non-MMO) and do this meantime. It does wonder for your rage.

I come back for friends and the dungeons.

a) it's Final Fantasy; I want to know the whole story, so I'll stick around until it's unplayable or the story ends
b) it'll be my last mmo, after this game I'll be done with mmos :)
c) I love my characters and love to roleplay as them and create stories and personalities to them
d) my FC and ingame friends who make me smile even after a crappy day at work
e) all the vanity and fluff, I'm such a sucker for housing and dress up :x

I have actually been thinking about this lately, because there are so many design choices and directions I don't like. However, I currently want to stay because of:

1. I enjoy the game content I spent most of my game time on, which is coils and extreme primal fights.
2. I enjoy playing the jobs I play and I like the fact that I can constantly improve in them and in the content I do.
3. I have a great static group and FC and I really enjoy playing and spending time with them.

I don't think any of these three things are in danger to change, but only time will tell if my annoyances with the game will grow big enough to overcome them.

Because my sub doesn't run out for another 3 months.

I'll be honest, the reason I played this long is mostly nostalgia for how the game used to be. Enough of it from version one made it over for me to still enjoy it for a while.

But as my friend list from 1.0 dwindled, the game devolved into a gear treadmill and SE started double dipping, I had to admit the fun was gone. So I've stopped paying SE two subs every month for the first time in 8+ years.

This is one aspect that they should not have copied wholesale from WoW - it's a part that sucks.

Friends, history/nostalgia and to the future. those are my reasons.
