Please post your source, I want to know the sophisticated data you have that let you to arrive at such conclusion.

He/She doesn't have any. He/She never does.

Its funny to me because all of your points are about endgame raiding and the gear that comes with it. That's too bad for you. I've been playing since 1.0 (not a whole lot, I have no max level chars) and I've been kindof a on and off player (played all through beta) but just the beauty of this game alone keeps me coming back. And after taking a break (checking out and playing other games) I think I'll be supporting FFXIV for a while because I've begun to really appreciate the detail this creation. I've done the grinding raids of 40 peeps for months and months to get special gear and have come to a point of just exploring, gathering, crafting and doing quests to get out of the rat race. Once I did I think taking screenshots should become a new class lol, I can cycle thru pics I've taken while out in the world and it's actually relaxing after a stressful day at work. I really hope you find something you can enjoy some day OP ; )

People quit the game because they are BORED, it might have something to do with what you listed, but there are also plenty of other people that aren't affected by this. Note that more people are playing the game than leaving it.

This thread is useless.

silly as this is going to sound i find myself playing next to none thanks to the loot drops in those dungeons i can't get gear i want without a stupid amount of farming and it just isnt worth it to me to log in just to spam the same dungeons over and over for crafting mats, maybe when (if) they fix this i will come back

If you don't like it stop playing it.

What if you do like it, but at the same time don't?

-They spent 300+ hours playing the game


It kind of has that effect on people.

Most logical comment I've seen in a while

I find myself spending hours of each day doing crafting and getting items for the crafting. OP, perhaps you haven't been playing very much of the game if this is what is making you quit?

The crafting system is very extensive and quite rewarding to level. I myself find it a nice surprise to see the next rank of items unlock on my crafting window .

Shhh if you say that they'll regurgitate another then disappear off into the lost woods.

Alot of solutions are posted though, comb through that Japanese player blog post, lots of suggestions and solutions that make sense and that can benefit the game. Its not worth posting or elaborating on good ideas and fixes because inevitably someone equips "SE Loyalty" gear and goes to battle with you over every little point, and there fellow brethren of like-minded sheep follow suit right after that. Either that or the most common "this games not for you, find another game" responses come flooding in. Put's a damper on solutions and suggestion posting real quick.

Indeed, it's nearly impossible to give feedback here with the amount of white knights around (like the whole first three pages), even quitting threads, as much as I agree that they are looking for attention, they also work as a feedback, but some people feel the need to protect SE's integrity with all they have and feedback hardly ever gets through.
