    No, SWTOR didn't fail because of the lockouts, it failed because it was so easy to "complete" the game. It failed because one of the raids last boss was RNG based on which bugs you got that week. It failed because of gear disparity getting worse and worse in PvP as at launch PvP was constant as it was pretty evenly balanced. PvP gear treadmill killed that. Also their "open world" PvP was a huge disaster. PvP balance was lolorific. It became too easy to have literally nothing to do. except the same small number of dailies they added in a later patch which took literally 15-20 mins to complete.

    I started MMOs with EQ1 bac k in '99.

    Sapphic, I agree with everything you stated. But if you google and look at the subs numbers for SWTOR and what they claimed at that time what they were and then not disclosing active accounts like SE does now, you can see a clear comparison of the 2. This is but one example on the similar traits that is affecting FF14 right now. Just google SWTOR patch history with their lack of new endgame content and compare it to FF14 and you will see similar designs. Also I want to mention that pvp was broken as you stated during the beginning of SWTOR lifespan even to this day but also PVP is broken on FF14 by alot of people in the same regards. Like I said, look up what happened to SWTOR, then look at FF14 in the last 10 months and be shocked on the similarities if you do not believe me.

    We must be playing different games because the Crystal Tower, and the Second Coil of Bahamut, as well as the upcoming addition to the Crystal Tower would like to have words with you. My group has been running 2 days a week since 2.2 came out running that new end game dungeon that you don't seem to believe exists.
