XIV doesn't require that kind of investment and that is a good thing.
Well I can't speak for everyone but I'm not asking for the game to force me to keep playing it however much a day to keep caught up. I just want content with some longevity to it. There is room between being forced to play the game 5 hours+ every day to stay caught up and you being done with patch content 5 hours into a major patch and having to wait 4 months for hopefully more stuff to do. No one was forced to do Eureka or Bozja when those were current content. I don't know why people struggle to grasp such a simple concept, now we have content that is one and done and nothing else besides the same old roulettes we've been doing for 10 years. I just want more out of the game, I know it can do better, it has in the past. Now people just settle for less because daddy Yoshi-P(rimal) has indoctrinated half the playerbase into being corporate thralls or something... I don't know.

I played XIV exclusively for a year and even that was horrible, you can still play other games, it's good that the game allows that without falling behind but now it has tilted to basically being forced to play other games all the time since XIV doesn't offer anything to keep you logged in aside from RP or whatever, and I don't RP so there really is nothing.
