I find that people who obsess over numbers are cynical enough to not find much enjoyment in their hobbies in general. At some point, certain individuals find themselves having more complaints than compliments when it comes to something they used to enjoy. It happens - it's part of life. It's usually a good point to move on, though, rather than stubbornly cling to that particular thing in the hope that it'll suddenly change.

Many people enjoy FFXIV as it is at present and aren't keen to see things change drastically for the sake of it every few months.
