Who here is actually playing FF14

[Noumenon]

I'd love to play FFXIV. That's why I go to the forums I guess, in the hopes that the game will finally stop going in the wrong direction and actually compete for my time again instead of releasing dead on arrival content and turning away from the writing and elements I used to enjoy in it.

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.

I know there isn't one (At least, not a credible one.), just wanted to use that.

I would rather they be less concerned with "stress" and get back to making a game that has encounters that aren't as easy as the Myths of the Realm raids and stories that aren't written for people who get overwhelmed by scenes in which consequences happen.
