The split might just have killed this game for me

At Balmung, on a congested server, most of the ppl in cities are afk even during primetime xD. Outside cities its pretty empty, had to solo a few A ranks in Heavensward areas since nobody is around even on Hunt linkshells.

Meanwhile in BDO, they released a "Complete Reroll Ticket" in the cashshop for 160 bucks xD.

FFXIV should take a look at what BDO is doing and maybe try to incorporate some of the stuff in that game. FYI BDO was released on 2016 and already Remastered the game last year and supposedly made over 1 bil dollars in profits. Not only is BDO superior in Graphics, its also superior in gameplay. I only stopped playing it since its too expensive and time consuming lol not to mention addicting.....

And its also filled with superior p2w. Funny how you think its so superior to FF but still stopped playing it because the downsides of the game make it seem not so superior anymore.
