I raid to have an unique experience. Do you?

Before the wagon full of haters comes rollin' AK, WP, CM are not raids. They're just dungeons.

Yes there is a grind to get your darklight gear if you CHOOSE to grind it out. But the armoury system promotes horizontal progression. If you want to play only 1 class (BLM) you'd still want to lvl the two support jobs minimum for the cross class abilities.

That being said the game is not infinite. How many hours have you clocked to get to the point you are now? Then compare those hours and price of them hours to a standard game and completion time.

In my initial 30 days. (£20) I racked up around 240 hours of game time alone.

A few month before I bought a game..... let's call it "the first of us" for £48. 9 hours later it was done.

To be equivelant in price I'd have to play XIV for 4 months since release. Which even right now is sitting at over 400 hours. And by which point 2.1 lands with even more content.

Too many gripers whine theyve hit endgame. Whereas a game that costs twice as much lasts less than half as long.
