What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Dwill]

3. Spamming instant death tactics in boss fights. This, to me, shows a lack of ability to write an interesting scene. If anyone remembers FF XI, Dynamis didn't spam instant death, yet it was both difficult and fun.

That's because the scenario themselves where instant death:

Dynamis-Jeuno: If your Thief failed the AH pull, alliance wiped.
Dynamis-Beaucedine: If anyone even moved a step the wrong way when you would pull Angra Mainyu with his dragon buddies, alliance wiped.
Dynamis-Xarcabard: If Dynamis Lord would resist more than one stun, alliance wiped.
Any Dynamis with a Summoner NM: Bard forgot to reapply sleep? Astral Flow, alliance wiped.

If anything, this game instant can easily be more controlled than the one in Dynamis so your comparison falls flat.

It's 100% grinding there are other newer games with little or no wait times for instant gratification. Free to play FFXIV is coming.

People said the same things you did during beta, that it wouldn't last more than a few months before free to play. Yet here we are, with an expansion on the way and the game still going pretty strong. But you don't really care about that, do you ? You'd rather use the forum, a place where <1% of the people even post, where a few people agrees with your views (based on nothing more than their own anecdotal evidences) and where some disagrees with you as a form of argument (again with anecdotal evidences) as to why the game is going to go F2P. Truth is, you don't have the data, I don't have the data but one thing is certain, the game isn't dying by any stretch of the imagination.

Edit: Oh yeah, inb4 I get called FFXIV Apologist, Square Enix White Knight, etc
