I am playing XIV because I am not a fan of Mainstream mmos and abysea killed off what made XI special.

XIV honestly I have to say is subpar in almost every way atm compared to other mmos besides the group focus, but it is also the only mmo released/being released that can possibly be lasting for me.

Depending on how XIV eventully turns out will be what will make my mind up in this game. If 2.0 becomes a solo quest grinder with cheap endgame and shallow content like 95% of mainstream mmos I will quickly leave. If they find a good blend of what made XI special and what keeps the non-gamers happy. And if they make it where I can log in 40hrs a week never taking a break and never get bored I will keep playing it.
