Obviously a lot of people who played for that long took that message for it being a good stopping point for sticking to this one game for so long.
Right, correct. Anyway, why don't you ask yourself the following:

Why didn't the poster take a hiatus at any other point in the past ten years? Why now? Do you think there's some magic formula that says that gamers are done with an MMO after exactly ten years, no more and no less? And how did you come up with this? Research? Surely it can't be that content sucks right now, right?

You won't answer, because you're just pulling more excuses as to why FFXIV is "the best game ever", "totally worth the sub", "the content is fine", and "if you don't like it, unsub". And, of course, your favorite: "if you don't like it, that's your fault!"

The denial and copium is mind-boggling at this point. Don't you think that perhaps there's a possibly that the content just sucks right now? Or is the super-human Yoshi-P and CBU3 perfectly capable of performing double the work in the same amount of time? If they are, then surely we'll get twice the content now that FF16 is done, right?

The FFXIV fanbase is its worst enemy. It's sad to see this game go the way of WoW, but I guess we all have to pack it up and move somewhere else.
