Sometimes I think about playing another MMO, but then I think

[Vandso]

Will I be able to play every class in one character? Probably not.
Will I be able to have social interactions as good as in this game? Probably not.
Will the story be as good as in this game? Definitely not.
Will I be able to grind faster? It depends.
Will I have more content to do? Also depends.
It's the monetization system fair? Most likely not.
Do the devs listen to their playerbase? Probably not.
Is the combat more fun end engaging? Probably.
Are the bosses and mechanics more interesting? Probably not.

Funny how this game is still the best MMO there is even though how shitty it still is.

There is nothing preventing you from enjoying multiple MMOs at the same time.

The problem to me is simple.
Other mmos have the wrong formula of being (more or less) free to play.. and that leads to a buttloads of problems.

I have no loyalty to mmos, I simply continue to play FFXIV because I enjoy logging in. If I'm not having fun, I log out. If I find that I'm logging out immediately after logging in for a week or two, that's a sign I should unsub for a few months.

There are so many amazing games out there, it'd be a shame to feel forced to stick with only one.

My PC is eleven years old, it was a bargain model then, and it chokes on anything more graphically intense than Guild Wars 2. And that one didn't really grab me. So the cost of starting another MMO would, by necessity, also include the cost of a new PC to me, and I just don't care enough to bother.

This is far too reasonable for the internet.

tribalism sucks

MMO will always have their loyalist.

However, the majority are like Boblawblah. If they weren't, XIV would still be the top MMO, and WoW players would never have migrated to XIV it he first place.

XI is my favorite MMO, but I play PSO2, BDO, LOTRO, DCUO, Destiny, CO....pretty much everything but WoW.....

When I Finish XIV's story, doubt I will pick it up again until there is another story or something......

Probably because it comes across like virtue signaling.
Most people aren't logging out because they are burned out, they are logging out because they are bored. Unsubbing which has been proven time and time again does not rekindle the spark upon return. It's the same game, with the same content. The answer isn't to unsub, it's to quit and move on if you aren't having fun anymore. I know this to be true because the vast majority of people only stay subbed out of fear of losing their homes. This suggests that they want to remain in this game but are lacking incentive to stay in this game.

That's only true if you have time for more MMOs. In my case I have to choose one.
