Few close friends quit FFXIV, one wants to explain why, hopes SE improves the game

What pray tell do you think I meant when I was saying the same stuff? Obviously it's not the same as they have changed many aspects of the game in 16 years but the core of many functions of the game are the same, though those functions have many options now, (for the most), thus giving players variety to complete them.

It was never the same even in it prime years. Content was nearly always new, inviting, and above all, had replay value and far more rewarding. Something XIV lacks in big time.
We're not even talking about the core functions, we're talking about fresh new content that is much needed in this game. Content that much like XI, has that replay value. Fun and rewarding. I played XI since it release and even now I go back from time to time during free login events to check out all the new content added. As their adding new content, it exciting, it fun it got that replay value. Only down side is that there isn't that much of a player base left and most are all on one server now.

Now ask yourself why a 16 year game can do this but xiv can't. Oh wait, we all know why by Yoshi-P own words, "Not enough resource." And therefore every part of this game is the same dull, boring, play it for a month, dead content. Any content they try and make that has replay value, they fail at hard.
