Is this game slowly dying?

With the design of this game. "WoW Model". You will have a large population drop towards the end of every major patch. Once the patch hits you will get a chunk of those players back for 1-2 months then they will leave again.



Is this game losing players... yea at an extremely accelerated rate compared to what happened with XI, but xiv also a much larger playerbase. So it will take longer to get to low numbers. People do not like having to wait for stuff to do, they try other game. If they find one that occupies their time they will make that their new mmo.

So there is really no need to continue playing then.
