Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

A lot of negativity in this thread... I ask the OP and everyone agreeing with the OP. Where will you go? Is there any other MMOs that even compare to what we currently have?
I support this game because it's the only MMO that is fun plus I want to support the game. There is no MMO out there that I want to play other than FFXIV.

dude, you make it sound like you need an MMO to function. There are other things to do. I can understand though, as I don't have many hobbies other than video games myself but there are plenty of other games I could have fun with instead. For instance, I'm playing through Persona 4 Golden instead and having a blast.

Where will I go? I 'unno, outside maybe.

I was talking about MMOs... you can be subbed to FFXIV and play any offline game you want.

You have a point many MMO follows the F2P Module. MOST Korean games are similar in terms of content and cash shops. Cash items having base on RNG. But being one of the better ones out there does not mean it is a game with quality (even if it was back then). People don't necessary have to find another MMO when they quit, they can simply move on with life. I mean just because there aren't no better games out there does not mean FF14 can stick to the way it is now, true? While I still love FF14 I think as of now, they need to really REALLY see why there is this outrage going on.

MMO's Right now? None. In a few months time? Give and take 2-3 months? I'm outta here. I was considering juggling a few games, but with the crap they've pulled I just can't bring myself to pay that monthly fee anymore. The amount I'm about to save once my sub runs out can net me another AAA game. I've been a player since January of 2015, and I've already felt the burn out. I can't imagine how the other people who have stuck around since 2013 would feel.

I personally have been struggling to stay subbed, but these past few patches have painted a very disturbing trend that staying subscribed would only be seen as my approval for said trend. That being said, you ask what we currently have? We have Heavensward, an expansion that had an epic storyline but absolutely no new ideas (except flying, but that's transportation only). We have a raid that has essentially driven off the raiding community, the diadem that further rammed that last nail into the raid coffin, void ark which is so simple you can read a book while doing it, horribly neglected crafting, and now a 'new' relic questline that introduced absolutely nothing new; instead they copy/pasted directly from the old relic questline.

As for where we'll go? Well, you're operating under the assumption that we can only run to another MMO...which is very, very false. FO4, Star-Wars: Battlefront, one of the countless zombie games, ANNO, and countless other games. And that's just video games. I for one am getting back into mtg, and have friends that have convinced me to try D&D; honestly it sounds fun, if a bit silly. But that's just it; it'll be fun; something SE need to remember, perhaps?

....though I will admit, the Arboretum is very beautiful. Has nice music too. Probably the one thing I legitimately enjoyed for 3.1+.

Play other Final Fantasy games
Better ones.

Amazing how the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII still entertains me til this day, where as the one in XIV a majority of people only go there for their cacpot tickets, cause everything there is just crap.

No. But guess what! That is fine too. There are other games out there. And if there are not games that can give what I want, there is plenty of other stuff out in the world to do that's fun. You make it sound like you gotta stay subbed to a MMO to live.
