This isn't just quitting FF14, this might be where I quit the entire genre because there's literally nothing left I want to play anymore.
I've decided to stay away from MMOs because if WoW and FFXIV can tumble this badly there is a good chance less popular MMOs aren't any better. On the other hand, I picked up Sims 4 again and I've been having more fun messing around with my old saved game for 2 days than I've had in this game since 7.01. I'm leveling, doing achievements, playing with character creation, making outfits and building houses, which were some of the best parts of FFXIV for me when I still liked it. Single player games can offer many of the same things MMO players enjoy, and they let you get straight to the fun part instead of making you wait lockouts and grind filler stuff to access it.
