Are we really at a point as a society where we have to brag about how we managed to (evidently not completely) ween ourselves off of a video game? OP feels like an underhanded complaint against the game and nothing more to be honest. But in the off chance thats wrong, congrats on finally finding something fun to do.

Now if certain other forum dwellers could only learn from your actions and go find something fun to do.

For many of us, FFXIV is still fun and offers literally years worth of content in store for us. Guess I understand if one had been playing for 10 years they probably dont have a lot to look forward to though. If that does ever happen to me, I too will play other games or find something else to do that is fun. If the game changes fundamentally from what I liked about it when I started, I will also simply quit or do other things. I learned my lesson from years on the WoW forums, yelling about all the problems there in a vain effort to make a game something that it isn't, doesn't work, and it isn't healthy.
