So sick of being a hero.
Well, I'm sorry to say but you're playing the wrong game here if that is what truely what you want - in the FF series you are never anything but 'the hero' (of course, there is a certain moral ambuguity within many FF games questioning that where the meaning of 'hero' is stretched a little), but at their core, every FF game you're always a protagonist trying to right the wrongs in their world and fighting the forces that would threaten or destroy it.

And in FFXIV especially, what sets an 'adventurer' apart from a common sellsword or mercenary is exactly that - altruism and a willingness to help those in need, even if you get nothing in return. And yes although there is a few times where the WoL gets frustrated by the world letting them down and people being.. well.. people, and you have a dialogue choice that reflects their frustration (the DRK questline especially), they're still fundamentally a kind, compassionate soul that only wants to help others and make the world a better place, and any such frustrations are usually reflected simply with slight sarcasm or humour.

FFXIV is simply never going to be an edgy/grimdark game despite covering some very dark topics and situations, that's how the series has always been, and FFXIV is no exception.
