Why is diadem a duty?

But that will happen with any game. There comes a point where we feel a need for something new after playing a specific game for a long time.

That doesn't mean that the game itself has gone bad. It just means it's time for us to move on as new players arrive to enjoy what we used to.

It's also part of why someone like YoshiP will encourage players to enjoy other games instead of playing only FFXIV. It's smart from a gamer standpoint - expand your horizons to see what else is out there and see things with fresh eyes (games are almost always more fun the first time you play and you don't know what to expect). It's also smart from a business standpoint - the player is less likely to burn out and keep returning to play as years pass.

I think it's cute you believe the people frustrated about having nothing to do aren't also playing other games, you genuinely believe we're only playing FF and that's why we're mad? Just because I'm subbed doesn't mean I'm not playing literally everything else the whole time. It's exactly WHY I'm frustrated, because every other game I play provides way more active content for their live services. It's been a YEAR with nothing to do, they release weekend long content a couple times a year that some people insist they stretch for that whole year? That's crazy.

I've been conditioned to stay subbed because of the housing system, if I let my sub lapse then I will typically not have the chance at another house. I'm basically just paying rent at this rate, and if I stop I might never find a place again due to how horrible the system has been setup. FF has the worst best housing system available, and people tell us they don't want FOMO systems so they discourage actual progress? Yet we're riddled with the worst.

We have the same exact issues we made fun of WoW for. Bots and shitty Dailies. We just hide our pain behind cat girls personas. lol
