The slow decline of FFXIV, a summary.

Right. But they could've gone anywhere else. They chose to come here.

There arent many MMOs out there anymore with a good population so no not really, the best decision based on playerbase was literally FFXIV

What are you talking about? Besides Limsa, you barely see people. You wait a long time in PF to fill up (on Light), and if it does fill up, it's mostly the same people from yesterday. The population was good, but it isn’t anymore. Maybe some came back for the event to do the "speak with NPC" quest that’s all.

Saying there aren’t other MMOs out there is straight-up not true. I tried out WoW now since this game is what it is, and surprise the population is insane. People are everywhere, of course more in the new zones, but be honest: when was the last time you saw a random person running around in Kozama’uka?

Stop comparing to WoW? No problem let’s go with GW2. People are running around in every area of the game. Sure, they may not have the most players, but the ones who are there aren’t AFK bots in Limsa they’re actually playing the game.

The wild thing is, player numbers keep sinking and sinking. And if you were to (for a social experiment) remove the housing timer or extend it to half a year instead of 40 days, you’d see an even more drastic drop.

It’s one thing to want to defend this game another to spread BS like that.

Sorry for the language.
