Sadly these days I cannot find anything fun or worth doing. It's especially frustrating when (usually newer) players tell me I'm supposedly burnt out or to just take a break...I can't burn out of a game that I'm not able to play because of the lack of worthwhile content. I've been on break pretty much the whole expansion.

I can't believe the mmorpg that gave me stuff like the Ivalice Raids and Shadowbringers storyline has become a ghost of it's former self. FFXIV deserved better.
Isn't it interesting how lately in every other live letter and interview, Yoshi P will announce or reveal something and justify it with "it was creating too much stress so we're dialing back"?

Once or twice seems fine, but it's been 2 years of "it is too much stress so we're dialing back".

With rumors of a significant chunk of their team quitting in protest of the vision of the game, one cannot help but wonder if no one there is actually interested in making a game anymore.
