Anyone Sad about the games Decline

Gee, I guess all the people I see out in the open world doing things must be illusions. I'd better get my eyes checked.

Why dont we get the actual sub info from SE you will see players have stopped subbing. Just because you see players dosent mean that the game is not losing subs.

Im trying to still stay sucked in to ARR but i just cant. Its not because its like other mmo's though. My problem is i cant seem to progress past the Aurum Vale dungeon. Im a 48 WHM and have tried running that insanely hard dungeon about 8 times now and havent even made it past the first boss once... You can call me a pansy all you want i really dont care but i think im gonna go back to wow where im actually a good healer and can clear content cuz apparently i suck balls at healing in ARR

Why don't we get the actual sub info from SE? You will see that they gained subscriptions last month. Just because you say the game is losing subs doesn't mean the game is not gaining new players.

See? I can wildly speculate, too!

This game is just boring for us Legacy. But I can wait for content. I mean I did for FFXI

For a "dying" game, it sure is crowded...

-What other mmo allows you to be every class on one character?
-What other mmo made crafting classes like actual classes?
-What other mmo has fates, a Duty Finder, and all the other traditional ways to level (some have one or the other, but not all of them)?
-What other mmo has the graphics FFXIV has with all the features it has?
-What other mmo has all that and a gear dye system?
-What other mmo has a good story on top of all of that?

Those are features that clearly exist in every other mmo...don't you know that? Jeez, you guys should listen to reddit more. Also, Glen Beck wrote on his chalkboard that the proof that FFXIV is dying is because you have the ability to dye clothing armour. Who can argue with those facts.

I didn't try this dungeon until 50 and it was still a tough one. That 1st boss is probably the most difficult of them all just keep at it you will down him.

I admit the game does feel rather empty especially the lower level zones. I traveled through quite a few lower level areas and noticed they're ghost towns at least on Gilgamesh. It's either that the game is in fact losing subs or everyone is doing FATE grinds to level up their characters, or everyone is already high enough level. I have seen some low level characters having to fight FATE bosses themselves because there's just not enough low level players in those low level maps. Its a bit depressing that the only places that are congested are the cities, mor dhona, quarymill, camp dragonhead and cerulean processing unit... and YEP you noticed most of these places are Fate Grind spots XD.

From what I am reading on forums and when I last played the game

Your data-driven analysis here is fantastic.

You do not provide specific feedback on what the issues are or what solutions you recommend to those issues. Also, for the 100th million bajillion zillion time, the word is their not there.

For Levithan I still see people around, mostly end-game peoples.
If you're in the newer released servers, you may not see a lot of people.
People are going to quit, a lot of people up and leave because there's not much to do, and I agree, there is not.
It happens.
End-game is keeping me busy though. But what else? Craft?
So yeah, gotta hope Yoshi reels people back in and actually have really awesome patches.
I personally do not find making 50 different difficulties of a Primal, fun. So I hope to see
Personal Housing, Minigames, and Golden Saucer etc, etc.
