FFXIV: ARR temporarily saved the game, till more content was patched in. But it atleast gave you the feeling you'll enjoy the game once more stuff released. It hid under the disguise of being casual friendly, yet the hardcore elitists were the only people with everything from the content catered towards the "casual". The Cash shop ruined my expectations of Yoshi-p.

FFXIV: Heavenswar ruined the game. It came with a class thats the exact clone of another class. were asking 5 years long for a full dps ranged attacker. Changed them into support casters, that are unwanted in raids, cause everything is a DPS check. Heavensward's story is skipped by most users. They just skip every cutscene, cause it isn't interesting.

Though, I have to say ARR had a great start storywise, that gradually became worse and got completely ruined in Heavensward. My sub will run out in 3 months, and I don't think I'll return at that point. I'll just stick to FFXI which I've done since we had to wait for 3.1 for like half a year.
