FFXIV is becoming a grind fest with little enjoyment.

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

Because there really isn't, it was an illusion and trick. :P

• A point every other level, amounting to only 30+ distributable at lvl 60 out of the hundreds already done for you
• Armoury System is a zombie of a feature
• "Materia" is just used to boost your generic attributes since your equipment might have a different set of generic attributes ( and it doesn't even let you boost the stats it already has )
• Other mainline FF games have more customization than a freaking MMO

You're right. And that's why I'm so disappointed at FFXIV I just wanted to have an adventure, playing a character built to my liking, and have fun with the friends you make online. But FFXIV just ends up feeling like a single player action game, with CO-OP, and a few RPG features.
