Just wait, it will get better!

If you were around for 1.0 you would know that they were maintaining 2 games. 1.0 and 2.0. In which 1.0 is being totally thrown away, for 2.0 when the time came (which it came).

1.0 had a terrible launch, and since they were maintaining 1.0 ( for the players that stuck through it) and Building FFXIV ARR (2.0), they really didn't have much time nor resources to deliver awesome content. The game went f2p for 1 year before turning on the subs at 1.20.

Just like any MMO when it's release (and yes 2.0 is a new release re-release whatever), the game needs time to grow and that's the factual truth. You don't like the game currently now? Unsub and wait 2 years ( or even 2-3 patches) when the game has enough content to provide to you.

You know what I say to what you said? Wait 2 years into FFXIV ARR life-cycle. Then you will see a huge difference in this game.

Edit: Also, if you are saying when will it get better from 1.0 till now ( 3 years) you should really think and say to yourself. Do I really like this game or not? Because in 3 years time and you still don't know AND your paying a sub for it.... (insert something here :/).

Edit: Now that they don't have to focus on building 2 games at once, they can focus all their man power on 2.0. By 2 years, there should be at least 1 expansion, 8 Major Patches. We should have by then:

1) Ishgard ( Jeuno of FFXIV)
2) Ala Mhigo
3) Frontlines
4) Coliseum
5) Full Length of Crystal Tower
6) Full Length of Coil
7) Multiple Tiers of Relic weapon
8) Continuation and ending of FFXIV ARR Main storyline
9) Expansion Storyline
10) Sky or Sea from the Expansion ( we don't know which one yet)
11) Level cap rise ( Probably 70-75)
12) Myth cap will probably be gone by then
13) New content within those 8 patches ( perhaps something simular to Limbus/BCNM/Dynamis etc etc)<--- Guessing on this one

And probably other things we just don't know about yet

When you look ahead 2 years from now even if the subs drop to 300k ( Yoshi-P initial prediction). When 2 years come and go, people will slowly make their way back to a potentially awesome game.
