And ... what was the time when all of your friends took break from other games and play FF14? And have you ever considered ... that actually is a good and healthy thing? I haven't played a lot of FF14 the last 2 weeks either, I bought DLC4 for Anno 1800 and have been playing that game none stop since.

You and yours seem to have the old mindset of measuring a game popularity/success by how dedicated its players base. I believe those days of a person need to eat, drink, and sleep on a single are long behind us. If anything it showed Yoshi-P a visionalist. Some people might have got mad when he said it's ok to stop playing FF14 and switch to other games in between, but that just him understand the time. On most MMO forums, with the right topic you can see a lot of people playing multiple games, taking break from one and switch to another. The tribalism mindset of there must be one true game is so ... last decade.

The masses who flocked to this game expecting “the next big thing” need to go back to where they came. I sure am. It was fun, but it’s time to move on.
I didn't come here looking for the next big thing. I didn't come here expecting to dedicating my soul to this game. I didn't come here expecting making a job out of a game. I'll be honest and say I don't know exactly what is that I was trying to find in FF14, but regardless I believe I found it. That's why I continue to play it, as well as other MMO when the right mood strike me.
