He said to take breaks not to unsubscribe. Housing demolish partly exists to discourage that as to their patch releases. The whole cycle releases are specifically setup the way they are to try and keep people subbed longer.
Regarding "burnout," people can try other contents/activities/social interactions they don't normally engage in to see if they can still have fun with the game.
Alternatively, people can play multiple games or add other fun activities to do outside of the game and just play FFXIV less without having to take a break from it.
Alternatively, people can take short breaks while still continuing to subscribe.
Alternatively, people can take a break and unsubscribe.
Those who own a house can determine whether keeping a house is worth the subscription fee if they don't have any other reason to play the game. All of the above choices can still be valid for current house owners depending on the result of their determination. Even the last option can still be done for those who want to keep their houses as there are 15 days free for every 30-day subscription period.
I've got a very similiar list.
1. Bojah, 10 in all three nobilities
2. Triple Triad Completion (I've got 317/326)
(got my trusts)
3. ALL firmament achievements, and relics.
(I aint gonna house, but maybe get the apartment somewhere better)
4. Both 50 and 25 million mounts .... and yes, painful.
5. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to play mahjong, it seems based on what it hands you, but I too want the achivements.
6. I've got the wings, and one other MGP mount left to go
7. Ah, fishing. New bigfish were added to norvanrant, it'll be a while before I get there... (goodluck if your going for feast of famine)
(I am omni 80, so that's something)
8. The EX mech dragon...
9. And many more indeed.
If anyone is interested in more "to-do before 6.0" lists like this, we have a cool thread about them here:

I mean that's your prerogative but...
1) I hate Eureka 2.0/Bozja/whatever its called
2) I hate Triple triad (I generally dislike any trading card games)
3) I don't see the point of using trusts when it's faster to get a group.
4) I did the reputation if that's what you're asking. IF there's more then I didn't care.
5) I got one, and lost it years ago. Pass
6) What if I don't want it?
7) What if I don't want it?
8) Been there done that
9) Been there done that (on my main)
10) I guess I didn't but I would hardly call it content. Also I prefer using few classes.
11) Look at point 1
12) Don't see a point, it will die in a few months and weapons are useless at this moment. It's only useful for glamour farming, but in a few years you'll be able to craft glowy versions of their weapons. Or farming mounts.
13) No ultimate? Actual Relic farming (it involves bosznja but whatever)? Or mount farming? Glamour farming? Pvp? Battlegrounds? Arena? Barracks? Squadrons? Hunting?
You said there's more stuff to do than most games out there but most of these activities are fluff content, stuff that barely makes a progress on your character. Unless I could fight bosses with the power of triple triads (à la yugioh) I usually don't bother. Plus I don't think it's fun.
Well I guess I'll take your advice and play another game...like monster hunter. Infinitely more content, and no subscription to pay!
If the Zadnor gear npc sold ilvl535 Weapons and armor, I think ppl would play Bozja more as an alternate to Savage content in preparation for the upcoming expansion xD.
People who have nothing to do and are begging for more content, and in the meantime they burn too fast through everything plus don't wanna do half of the content make me laugh.
I've been playing for years nonstop, and not even few hours, and I never find enough time to do everything I wanna do. Things to do in this game are basically endless.
As for Zadnor being completed in a day. Really? Did you already get everything from lockboxes? Did you already max all the honors? All of them? Did you already get the achievement mount by collecting all field notes? Also, if you wanna make it last longer try doing the whole relic pieces in there, but I bet you farmed the raids instead.
It took me a bunch of days to get to 25, and I admit it was waaay faster than getting 15 was before, and I'm so thankful for that, the front at the start was soul-crushing and slow, and I delayed getting to 15 for a long time cause it was long and boring. I'm glad Zandor isn't like that. Anyway, even if max rank now, I can see myself still spending such a long time in there to get all the things I listed. Just the honors probably take forever. And I didn't even mention all the stuff you can get with clusters, farming fragments for actions etc.
