We have midcore content... just too little too late.

It's definitely a community problem. Just look at how many threads we have right now disputing the definition of midcore and how much salt is thrown in either direction.

It’s a money problem. I’m a paying customer and current-level content is becoming more and more sparse. Not sure why billion-dollar companies are so extraordinarily popular, but I guess it’s a generational difference. Back in my day, we didn’t defend megacorps online unless they actually deserved it.

The #1 defense of FFXIV’s content model is that it “lets you play other games”. Sure, that’s true. So don’t make me pay a sub.
The #2 defense is that it’s primarily a single-player story experience. Sure, that’s also true. Don’t make me pay a sub.
The #3 defense is that you can do old stuff with your friends. Sure, I’ll replay what I already bought. But don’t make me pay for it again and again.

FFXIV was never meant to be someone’s main game. I get it. It was never supposed to compete with WoW or other online games in respect to our time and energy. But why is it propped up like one?
