Maybe we need a Cataclysm

[Mansion]

Then you can't just wait for the next MMO? Instead of screwing over people who are fine with the current status quo?

That's my position actually. I've been getting more and more bored/frustrated with FFXIV since the end of Stormblood and it only got worse with Shadowbringers' cycle of patch content (nothing related to COVID delays).
I'm here for the MSQ and raiding, and I don't find much to do in between. But I don't think FFXIV should change all over just to grab my attention, I'd rather play a brand new MMO in the end, with FFXIV continuing its own path. We are nearing the end but potentially we could still have great MSQ content beyond 5.X.

I'm not a big WoW nerd, but I've read / heard a lot that Cataclysm was the first step that made players so divided about current WoW.
