Play other games :)

[ZephyrMenodora]

I know the OP was trying to be snarky... but that's more or less what I do. I don't give up my house - I stay subbed just enough to keep my house when not actively playing. I go play other games. Honestly, even when I'm subbed, I fill my time with other games. I'll go heavy into whatever new content comes out that I want to do. I'm not looking to be entertained 365 days/year by an MMO. And anyone that is expecting that is likely to be let down.

Same. I don't view "playing other games" as even a slight on FFXIV. I can like other games and FFXIV, and XIV is still probably my overall favorite even when I want to have other experiences. I think it's healthy to have more interests than just FFXIV.
