FFXIV better stop doing what WoW's doing, because its losing millions of subs.

considering your facts are just wrong?

When i started playing ffxiv 2.0, after I hit 50 I spent roughly 2 months taking down each EX primal one at a time. Then I spent about 4 months going through each turn of coil 1 at a time. that's 6 months of quality content.

In heavensward I spent 4 hours beating alexander normal mode and have no desire to do savage because it's the exact same bosses.... the game doesn't need "moar content" it need content that can't be beaten in a single play session. It needs esoterics that take longer than 4 hours a week to cap. With the increased drop rate of alex normal I find myself not really needing to run each alex floor more than once.

For gearing purposes there is roughly 5 hours of gameplay each week. Which is prob why people are so upset with the amount of "gating"

I can already see all the rant, I wish we had more challenging content, problem is that people who don't want challenge use new players as their meatshield saying that they need to make old content almost soloable, so now I am just playing with my friend who is new to the game, already 52 and finished every duty and trial on first try as a tank, kinda sad to look at him as he is finding some challenge where there is none, I don't even think he will make it to 60 before leaving out of boredoom.

I actually don't understand why FFXIV community has the mentality that every dungeon and story trial has to be finished on first try, this is probably the first MMO where I don't wipe in new dungeons when they release them.. and honestly it feels bad. I want to wipe more, not only on savage raids.

First off there weren't Xms in 2.0 they were hms. Second that period was when it was litterally impossible to succeed on t5 without luck.
