Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

[Magikazam]

This is more and more sounding like a YOU problem than a game problem. If it were truly a thing that FFXIV has an issue with retaining players with stuff to do then we'd see huge decrease in numbers. You say you lack things to do, yet the opposite can be said to other people and frankly my dear it seems this is the majority of the playerbase.

And before you start playing the victim card, no. Just because people are against your points doesnt mean they find the game flawless and perfect. Sorry that your issue isnt as much of a flaw as you think it is.

FFXIV community is the biggest echo chamber of posivity ive ever seen in any game. Sure people don't go around and directly say the game has no flaw but they do just like you just did. ''It not the game that wrong, it an you issues'' ''If you're not happy don't sub''. These free out of jail card are used a lot and even if I pointed tons of issues with the contents, people jump to these excuses rather and just accepting there an issues or you know, point a counter-argument that ain't just ''Well I disagree cause I don't believe it the case''

And that attitude just apply everywhere in the game. Complain about a plot-hole in the story? You bet it not bad writting, they will tell you that it just you being of bad spirit or over-analyzing. You enter a dungeon and point out that the level 80 dps only use single target 1-2-3 combo on the mobs pack? Well guess what, it not him playing bad, it you being an min-maxer monster that don't let people play like they want. SE butchered your class gameplay last patch? Clearly it an you issues and your complain are worthless, just get a new main class.

So I will ask again, Where midcore content? Why we got so much dead content that are just dead for the sake of it (Looking at you, FATE and Yellow side quest). Why don't we have more content like POTD or Eureka?
