So what exactly is there to Do this patch?

[Supersnow845]

I don't think that many ppl are subbed and don't play the game atall.
Most ppl I know finds something to do like old content or challenging contents like solo deepdungeons,ultimates or RP/hangout with friends etc.
Ppl already unsub if they really don't have anything to do in the game like some of my friends

Yeah so those people are basically just filling their time with stuff they have already done to fill time. They are likely also the people who are complaining a lot about the lack of content, they would be the people unsubbing if this hypothetical scenario

People aren’t “playing the game” they are “clinging to the game” and that’s the entire issue

what?
People are doing what they enjoy.
Many content in the game is replayable so doing that is not clinging to the game,they are playing it.
People aren't robots they don't waste their time on something they don't enjoy.
I don't know why you have to see everything in negative view.
"they would be the people unsubbing if this hypothetical scenario" why? if they are doing something in the game,that means theres stuff they want to do.
It doesn't makes sense for them to unsub.

To play the game even for 5 minutes, it requires a sub for the month. If a person spends a few hours a week doing their weeklies and logs off, they are still subbed and doing only what they want to do. Is a few hours a week really worth a 15 dollar subscription + an upfront purchase for each expansion (with also a mogstore)? Maybe they keep the subscription because they have a house, some of those weeklies are in a static which they feel obligated to continue, and/or they are simply clinging to the game (i.e. sunk cost fallacy) similar to what Supersnow said. There are a variety of reasons someone would want to cling to subbing to a MMO that they don't feel is worth the money right now. Its a staple of the genre TBH.

There are tons of people I know who literally only stay subbed to keep their housing plots. I would describe that as clinging to the game. They don't want to actively play it, but they fear that one day if the game gets better again or more content, they will wish they had kept their plots which will otherwise become impossible to acquire on most servers.

House demolition keeping ppl subbed is precisely why we will never get instanced housing

Or maybe the game has stuff to do? You can cope all you want that the people subbed are just RPing in Limsa but our wallet is clearly outvoting the doomers
