It's not really burnout though, it's boredom. Burnout would be when you played so much XIV every day that you, well, get burned out.

Finishing all the content that's supposed to last for 4.5 months in a week, or let's be very generous and say 2 weeks, with just casual playtime and then asking yourself what you're paying a monthly sub for is not burnout.

Thats a fair point, though I do still think burnout seems a little more common in video games then before haha.

Although I will ask, have these patches really been dry compared to past 0.X content? I get that field zones like Eureka and Bozja helped a lot, but even they had their limits. Can a game with such a wide playerbase really fill 4-5 months with non-stop things to do? Not trying to start a argument or anything, I too would love if they could add more things for us to do and its an issue the devs have hopefully understood, given we are getting another zone. I played from ARR to HW, and returned at the tail end of Shadow so I cannot really comment from much experiance, but 6.X just does not feel like this massive downgrade in things to do as some people have said. Some of the older MMOs I played felt like you would not really get any new content until an expansion or yearly update haha. Plus FFXIV has always been a game that does not feed on FOMO, and is the easiest to take breaks from. Some would see that as a positive.

Perhaps an issue at play is as you say, the fact that this is a sub game, so people feel they are obliged to play more then they would. Plus things like the fear of loosing ones house if you unsubscribe, which is a real crappy sword to hang over peoples head and another reason why housing should be rebuilt from the ground up. I do wonder somtimes if that payment model should perhaps be changed, but the only alternatives would make the Store issues look like civil chit-chat.
