With the anemic casual content, and stuff we'd love to do being pushed back further into later patches, and SE going all in on hardcore content for the 2% of the game population, we are starting to not care and bounce. Let's see how long 14 sustains when the playerbase you so loathe, all says...you know what? We're done.
No the success of the game rests entirely on people like me that supported the game back in the 1.x days. That offered feedback, support, and loyalty to show that a rebuild would be successful.

All you casuals do is get carried by me through your normal content. I can personally guatentee that I've put more money into this game than you have.

Have a seat. I'm the target audience at the moment. I'll help you not take 30 minutes to clear the latest dungeon right after I clear the latest savage-level content Square has released for me.

See? Pretty easy to sound like a cringy badass, huh? But something tells me you weren't pretending or using hyperbole. That you actually believe the us vs them is player vs player and not player vs company.
