I have watched a lot of LL over the years some good and some bad but this one was bad and they had no real things to show or get us excited about. I have subbed a lot and almost 15 years in so I know the drill. I feel the past year or so the game has lost a lot of players who I know played like me daily.
The LL had no energy. I feel that Yoshi is choosing to ignore the feedback and is hoping the monster that is chasing you will disappear if you don't turn around. I did not like the cheap pic of the new FFXI raid the day before the LL only to watch and be given same image and then another FFXI character on the main poster it just felt shit as I am sure others tuned in to see because of that.

I have noticed FFXIV has had less and less it feels like forever for LL and any information. I used to play frontlines a lot to pass the time but I can't cope with people not choosing a dance partner or standing round or throwing the match so I do not play that much now.
