Because people like to be dramatic and predict the death of FFXIV. Where’s that thread with how many times the game ihas died? Let’s add this thread to the list.
I really can't comprehend the whole "over dramatic -insert X patch- has killed the game, insulted your family and kicked your dog mentality" While the new systems they are implementing are less than desireable (looking at your glamour dresser plates) and even the incredibly confusing and stupid change to the MSQ roulette It's hardly reasons to completely unsub from the game and stop playing. Also not sure why you are claiming that paladins are going back to their HW iteration, a 50 potency decrease on SW and a 20 potency decrease on HS isn't going to somehow magically revert them to their useless state in HW. I think you need to dial back a bit on the drama queen, It's making you look silly.
I don't plan on unsubbing, but i may play less overall. So far we really don't have much in the way of main content, but we do have a lot of side or optional content. While that's nice, it means still that you're still just doing the same msq and same grind for a week or two, then its back to either pvp or ex/savage for any real long term content. Really the only unique content planned that isn't too similar to past content is Eureka, and we're still waiting for even a word on new POTD or anything else.
SE needs to really work on fleshing out the game more to make this expansion unique.
Well, to be honest its not so much the patch, but that we get this patch like 8 months into the expansion. I mean come on, we need something unique, and more main content overall; there's just so much side content and interface stuff, and not much meat to the main game.
Is just a bunch of nerfs and adjustments that will keep changing as the game goes on. We got additional inventory space along with ways to save retainer space by glamouring level 1 stuff.
I play DRK and I'm not quitting even if SE's... "buffs" were like throwing some bandaids to someone bleeding out on the street.
All the new systems have limitations on them, but at least it is a sign they are starting to go a better direction when it comes to glamours, so I'm expecting them to continue to incrementally go in that direction than backpedal it all of a sudden.
The retainer thing annoys me, but it's not enough to get me to quit the game.
Just waiting for SE to announce that they are pulling out of the MMO and Console market and going to become a Mobile Only Company or the Next Konami.
Come on, people...

OP is just salty that the glamour system isn't up to their expectations so they're exaggerating everything else that got changed out of proportion.
