What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Magis]

But with the way it works, if there was no Lock out, how long do you think people would cap out on gear, They will just cap in in weeks to a month, depending on play times and then unsub till next patch. and then it begins again.

I didn't say remove the lockout. I said put in more hard content and spread gear across multiple dungeons so that even if you are locked out, you got 3-4 other places to go and get items from. Expand the itemization so that there isn't just one item that can be BIS so people have a reason to do other content. Currently SEs strategy is:

-1 Raid Content
-1 Easy Raid Content
-Brain dead easy dungeons used to grind out the "free loot" so casual/new/returning players can catch up.

Then repeat again next patch cycle. That's boring as hell and I don't see how they expect people to keep playing for 4 years (according to Yoshi on how far they planned out) if that's their master plan.

Welp.
- 1 Raid Content + similar Raid with more easy difficulty (but nearly same reward so all ppl's nearly on same note)
- 1 alliance raid content with CT difficulty + diffuculty for "Raiders"
- more dungeons
- more open world (BUT NOT S..t like hunt)
All this and ppl's start show up ingame
