Arthars: FFXIV should take a few hints from Dragonflight

[Midare]

With the way the patches are now, the "just take a break" lines start coming out a WEEK after patch, if not sooner. It's ridiculous. What are we paying a monthly sub for?

Me? To hang out with friends, to do the most casual of contents, to simply unwind after a long day of work.

Others? It seems they remain subbed to simply dread the fact that they feel they have to stay subbed and then complain about it. In which case, it's better to take a break.

I don’t want to be chained to this game 24/7 I want to have a reason to log on for more than 1 day every 5 months considering I have to pay for the expansion itself on top of paying a monthly sub I don’t always keep up

Seriously it’s been what 4 years since these concerns started in ShB and you people still can’t understand nuance

First and foremost, I wasn't here 4 years ago, so save it with the "you people". But I will point out that if these complains have been going for so long, clearly, it hasn't killed the game to have a draught in between xpacs.

Second, if you need a reason other than chilling in a videogame, a leisure activity, then again, I feel you're approaching things in an odd way.
