If there's nothing holding your interest in this game until Dawntrail comes out, there are plenty of other games to play. Give some of them a try. You have YoshiP's blessing.
Wrath of the Lich King: 13 November 2008

Legion: 29 August 2016

Those are the release dates for the launch of both expansions, one of which predates FFXIV's existence altogether and the other is roughly seven years ago. We're talking about FFXIV in the present day and recent years, with both Shadowbringers and Endwalker leading to many veteran players who are caught up on the MSQ's and side content finding themselves with very little to do.

Many posters with concerns relating to the current game already are taking breaks and playing other games. All of this has been explained many times already by the posters such statements are aimed at, though.
