I mostly stayed because of the msq and side quests. In theory I would have kept playing up until HW. But the MSQ in between the ending of ARR and start of HW was so bland and boring that I couldn't even bother anymore. Plus, an RPG staple feature (character customization in terms of abilities/equipment/attributes) is completely bare bones in this game. I feel like there's nothing to look forward to. Nothing to plan for. And at the rate we're having updates I doubt I'll be subscribed again this year and possibly the next
