I do stand by the "unsub" advice though. If you're not having fun with a luxury product then you shouldn't continue to pay for it. I really don't understand why so many people seem to be allergic to that simple concept.

Because you and just about everyone else tossing out that tidbit of "advice" on the forums are doing so despite being fully aware that most people willing to criticize the game still have a vested interest in it. In other words, it's an exceedingly disingenuous way of trying to silence criticism from behind the veil of, "well, it's okay to quit if you're not having fun," regardless of whether or not people still have aspects of the game they enjoy. Which, fairly obviously they do if they're still subbed. You can play a product with a significant number of components you no longer enjoy and still find some joy in it.

Some people don't like the direction the game is going, and those people probably will quit once it reaches a point where the things they still enjoy have been taken away from them. Simple as that.

This is literally it, I dont know how many time it has to be repeated, you can criticize this game and still like some aspects of it and enjoy some aspects of it, but still want certain things to get better, it aint rocket science

I'm well aware that people can find faults in a product and still consume it. That's not a foreign concept. There's plenty of things I could criticize about XIV for example and I have done so in other threads. Content drought is a bit different imo. The people whom I see that receive the response of "take a break"/"unsub" are usually complaining about having nothing to do in the game. If you having nothing to do, what else is there other than taking a break? I've taken multiple breaks because I couldn't find anything that appealed to me at the time. Came back later when I did. If you think I'm trying to silence criticism then you're completely wrong. If you think I'm being disingenuous then you're also completely wrong. I honestly believe taking a break is the best thing to do if you are feeling burnt out or have no activities in the game at the moment. This veil you are referring to feels made up to me.
