So why is the op still playing?

Clearly they have little love for the game, maybe that is because they spend more time scouring the net trying to find what's wrong with it instead of just playing it.

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to play. Sure there is bad stuff but there is a lot of good too. Why not compile a mile long list of the good stuff too, that would at least make you more valid. But starting basically an "Ihateffxiv" thread here and on tumblr really does little for your credibility.
