FF14 player count has fallen off a cliff and is now at 2019 levels (3/16/2025)

That's kinda where I am at, but more long term and more than likely permanently. But I'm still holding on. If Occult Cresent is as convaluted of a mess as Bozja and Eureka were, I'm just gonna cut my losses. This game is shit anymore.

I get it, I can imagine it's hard to let something go that you've played for so long. There's always that bit of 'what if it gets better?' feeling.

You aren't the boss of them!

You can't tell them what to do!

How dare you tell them to quit playing!

Yes, that was sarcastic but it's also reality. They are never going to quit. They've convinced themselves that they are engaged in a noble crusade to save the game by continuing to complain in the forums. It is their money and time to use as they want.

Yep, their money to blow on complaining and playing a game they hate.
