    I wasn't going to play it, though less competition is a bad thing since the genre really needs some solid competition to keep things fresh and engaging.

    It's just MMORPGs just don't get made anymore. It really sucks. We have to deal with the same 'ol for another decade. Like don't get me wrong, FFXIV is good, but the genre really needed something else. To liven it up. I mean, other than Korean and the occasional Chinese dev, these games just don't get made anymore, and those countries make them as cash grabs, 'pay 2 win', rather than good games. FFXIV may go for another 10 years, but I just wonder if there will be enough innovation added to keep it good, and not stagnant, for the next decade.

    Western publishers/devs just don't want to invest in anything other than live service, or games where they can throw microtransaction after microtransaction at you anymore; low cost, high reward. It's sad. I don't trust indie studios to make a great product either, they simply don't have the capital. Heck, most of them are scams anyway.

    It's not that they don't get made, they just don't last for one reason or another, or worst case scenario, as you said, they're just made for cash grab purposes *looks at a certain other mmo that rhymes with mess*

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.
