What would it take to make you unsub from xiv

[Eisi]

Once they let Summoners summon Shiva but rather than doing the cool thing - using the WoL as a vessel so that we transform into Shiva and we can play as Shiva (with a new non-Ysayle, non-Ryne model) - they just let us summon her as a lame external entity just like every other summon and with Ysayle's model.

When that happens I know the devs have become out of touch and no longer care. Shiva has never been an autonomous summon in the story and so she shouldn't be for Summoners either.

It isn't even clear what a non-vessel Shiva would look like, is it?

Saying that, I don't think its an impossible ask - I mean, our character can turn into a Phoenix 'mount' - could that be applied to battle instances?
