LuckyBancho data shows that FF14 is in decline

What exactly are we supposed to do about it?

There's nothing that anyone here needs to do anything about.

It's just a talking point and there are a lot of different opinions as usual.

Or perhaps it's almost like you can't accept that FFXIV is doing well, so people logically point out the flaws whenever the next person comes along and makes the same erroneous claims...

Yes, it's doing so well that my FC that has a long storied history of multiple world firsts and a roster of players that used to log in every day without fail is now a graveyard.

Sure, the game seems to be doing fine as far as new players goes, but it's not retaining the old ones anymore and that will be a very real concern the second the competition gets it's act together and a new shiny MMO comes along that doesn't immediately self destruct.

I really dislike this arrogance. "shut up and know your place, daddy SE knows better than you"

people like you are really annoying

Tell us then what the point of threads like this is. Who is it trying to convince and about what?

Yet it probably should have been expected considering the main story arc that has existed since 2.0 was concluded in 6.0 instead of being continued.

I doubt, that the story arc is the reason why people are quitting the game. The youtuber Zepla has made some videos why EW is in that state.

The OP doesn't want to say why he made this post.

Says a lot about the nature of its purpose when they plainly state they refuse to say.

I've watched some of those videos. I've also read the many arguments and disagreements that her first video on the topic generated because everyone in the player base has their own take on what affects them. I've also seen some players bring up points that she didn't make.

The funny thing is that her own reason for temporarily quitting was simply burn out and she stressed that at the start of that first video. Could it be that many other players are also simply burned out at last but they don't recognize it such and so are trying to pass it off as other things?

Some mention a lack of content and yet Endwalker introduced just as much content as Shadowbringers if you break all of the new additions down.

Some mention a lack of grinds and yet there are a large number of grinds to choose from that most haven't touched.

Some talk about a lack of rewards and yet where has content noticeably deviated the rewards system from what it had been in past expansions? Could the problem be that SE made it easier to get gear from Savage since that's the only content I can think of that did deviate from the past?

Its not the main reason but its been a driving feeling with most people Ive seen who has quit the game

Honestly, i think its over for ffxiv... that 4gamer interview made it clear yoship only cares about casuals and japanese players. the game wont die. but the funding will not be there to support the games current development ambitions anymore.

square makes honestly so many strange bad buisness decisions as seen in the cash shop.. but to go as far as to kill there own game in its peak.. i just.. i feel like its intentional? or just designed to see how far they can push players before players push back

question to relevance? otherwise just comes off as ad hominem
