The current state of the "MMORPG" FFXIV is unsustainable. Here's why

[EgilTheStressedMage]

XIV definitely suffers from Sunk Cost Fallacy all the same. We'll see how many people stay after the MSQ basically dumpstered itself. :l

"I play because I like Final Fantasy"

I definitely played because it was Final Fantasy. I don't think I would've stayed past Heavensward if it weren't for it. Definitely no longer enjoy combat outside of DDR boss mechanics.

I play because it doesn't take hours to days to weeks to get a level up further in the game with dead guilds and inactive friend lists. I'll just go play Last Chaos in 2006 if I want to relive that hell.

You haven't played any other MMO in the past.. 5 years have you?

I have. They didn't hold my attention for long, had to force myself to keep playing one of them only because I wanted to know how the story was going and the game's been active since 2008. The rest either started becoming too easy, warranted zero player interaction, were ultimately not my cup of tea, or demanded too much from me/my machine.

but its the same here just in a different way. all the end game gear TIME LOKED so it take weeks to get. most guilds (FC) are dead as hell and inactive friend lists getting bigger by the patch.
