    Dislike the game? They love it, it's their biggest moneymaker. They're siphoning funds because they're having to make up for losses elsewhere due to their own incompetence, and it's very likely (idk because I'm not a businessman) they're being given an estimate of how much money the game needs to currently function by the producer and how much is needed for future additions to it. Anything else is taken to make up for, again, their own incompetency when it comes to other games.

    You've pretty much described almost every MMO. The community is what keeps people coming, not just the game. Look at GW2, a lot of the people who were still playing it despite a gigantic content drought were still playing because of the community.

    ...you do realize that SE is a company that makes other games right?

    Been playing since ARR beta.

    The last main scenario I completed was the Fenrir fight iirc.........lol.

    I actually have all expansions to make matters worse; basically, I have not completed the free-trial.

    I just get occupied with other games like XI (Which is why a bundle would make sense for SE, with XIV), New games, rom hacks, older ones (FO & ES) and retro games (Sonic & Megaman X).

    Determined to get some $hit done for real this sub. As an 80s gamer, shameful to not have come close to beating XIV, after having it so long.......

    I don't really consider the achievement hunting in this game as content.

    I used to do everything from crafting and gathering, to raiding and EX primals. Now, I don't really care anymore so I just play Frontlines when I log in.

    I think total achivement score is the best measuring stick of "amount of content completed"

    The leader is almost at 25,000.

    So take your score, chop off the bottom 1,000 of it, and multiply by four.

    Anybody want to post the result they get, and possibly brag a bit?

    Not much anymore.

    Side content for me really depends on whether I think a game is worth investing into. For example, if I'm going to burn 500 hours of my life hitting nodes and doing the same Expert craft thousands of times for a small flying dinosaur mount, it better be a game that I feel is worth sticking around in for years to come and rewards those who aim to accomplish things.

    FF14 isn't that game anymore and my interest in anything grindy or related to virtual collections has plummeted off a cliff. Life is short and I have better things to do than collect virtual fluff items in a game I don't like that much. But, the raids are still worth my sub for now, so I primarily play the game for the raids.

    I'm interested in most content that can be completed solo or with my husband, but I haven't really finished a lot. Some things I do tend to finish in a relatively timely manner are the msq, Hildebrant, map dungeons and beast tribes. Things that I've started and will probably get back to at some point include POTD, HOH, Eureka (I'm at Pyros or Hydrates I forget which) and blue mage.

    Things I "enjoy but am so slow at they may never be finished" encompasses the largest amount of content, including: ocean fishing titles, fishing hole completion, titles earned by gathering, sightseeing log, all jobs max level, triple triad, squadron, trusts, all crafting logs completed, racing chocobos and I'm sure, more.

    at least one relic from each expansion
    baldesion
    DRS
    all savages except 6.2
    all ultimates except 6.3
    cleared with all 5 roles in ultimate at least once (p-ranged, m-ranged, healer, tank, melee)
    lone hero, couldn't bother with farming shards for potd solo so i didn't bother
    legit 1B gil, most of it was from HW/early SB when a single endgame piece like ironworks was 2M though
    pretty much most of the challenging stuff i've tried it at least once at a high-ish level

    but unless they change their design philosophy i'm not going to bother seriously playing this game again, they just dumbed down too much stuff and raids are now becoming repetitive/formulaic. i haven't since DSR, which was the first time i disliked raiding: for the first time it felt more like a grind than a challenge, because playing for so long you've really seen it all and already know the solution. i only do msq now.

    FF14 sucks because you can't make handsome men like these
