But people are leaving. Have you wondered why they always talk about "registered" accounts rather than subscribed? It's simple, because the player base is thinning with every month. Yoshida himself admitted that people return only for the first few weeks of new patches.

The expansion too didn't help much. In fact I feel betrayed with it since I quitted the game during the initial release of patch 2.3 and returned for the expansion. When I payed for the expansion which was more expensive than the ARR copy I got in December 2013, I expected an extreme overhaul of the game with airships and stuff being involved in battle but guess what I literally bought a "big" patch not an expansion.
