My take on what can be changed for FFXIV

[Shurrikhan]

the model should be to keep you down as long as possible for as much as possible

By that idea, raids should simply give no Pages and/or have their number of chests cut in half, tomestones should likely have daily caps so that you can't cap on a Tuesday and then wait to resub until the next Monday, etc., etc.

There is absolutely a place for quality of life and a sense of available progression, not just for trying to squeeze out each extra day of time subbed.
