However, I do not believe that you, or anyone who has posted in this thread, is among them. And the reason for that is simple: you are constantly going on about how much you want to continue playing the game.
You may enjoy eating at McDonald's once in awhile, but you wouldn't expect to pay fine dining prices to do so.

This isn't a full-fledged MMO operating at competitive standards. That's always been the problem with FFXIV, and it will continue to be in that state until 2.0 is done. I don't have any classes at 50; I can't bring myself to play long enough to do so. I enjoy the game enough to play now and then and see how it's progressing, but I don't feel like my money is well spent paying full price for FFXIV in its current form.

That's simply how I value it, and if there are enough people who feel the same as I do, it would be in everyone's interest to have us stick around. Otherwise, I will sit out until 2.0 draws near. I'm fine with that. But I think there's merit in exploring other options.
