I feel you. I too was saddened with the class changes. LOVED AST until it was gutted and the uniqueness was somewhat lost. (That and after memorizing the "cards" and how to use them, stung a little too.) I did pre-order Endwalker because I know (hope) that it will be another good story. It is the best part of the game. Sadly though, keeping me playing is another thing after the story is done. The glamour system is cool but surprisingly pretty limited compared to other MMO's. Meaning, other MMO's you don't need to have the items/gear for the look you want. No inventory space is wasted. The gear look is "unlocked" and you can then, with ingame money, change to what you want. Crafting is nice but again, lots of wasted inventory is wasted to keep all the mats you need to level all the DoH's. PLUS the gear for each DoH and DoL along with all your different job gear. Not as little as GW2 bank and inventory is but close. In WoW, I could have a bank toon for needed storage. Same with SWTOR. These little QoL issues make it hard for me to stay on FFXIV after the story. And I hate that because FFXIV is a beautiful game. Better than most. It does baffle me than as old as this game is, the inventory system is not updated. That needs a major overhaul. For now, GW2 has my attention with the uniqueness and fun classes as well as the crafting and exploring aspect. (Engineer ftw!)
