IS it just me... or is FFXIV boring?

in 2013, which this thread was necro'd from, didn't exactly have much content in the game and QOL as we used to now.

Yeah because taking the time to dig up a 4 year old post to state how boring the game is is totally helping with that "good community" vibe.

And where did I state that? Please quote me where I said that, I'm waiting.

The game has record subs and has exceeded expansion expectations from a dollar perspective. I would say that suggests that many don't agree.

Also, I agree the game did have a huge success. but you and others perhaps forget something. Okay, so I'm logged out around 12 am somedays, somedays around 2 am, depends on work or not. I log in and I see the excact same characters dance in the very same spot. I go to work, hit gym etc, 11-12 hours of my day gone, I log back on and I see the excact same people there. There are many people who logs on and afk, just as many in my fc decided to quit right after stormblood and we cleaning them out, or those who don't want to log in just to afk. I'm not saying those people are majority, I'm saying they exist and when you add all these numbers up there will be quiet a lot of people. Don't forget RMT's, botters etc. The 10 million accounts made includes free trials, bots, rmts and banned people that are just in the data. The actuall active players (just saying an estimate, I might be way off) but around 350-500k players. It's like saying I have over 10k customers in 1 hours since they decided to give away 10 free games and none of them buys anything from the store. Same works with trial accounts too, you get to try it (like going inside the story) you decide to buy the product or not.

I'm not saying the game never had success. It's just that people loveeeeeeeee to always mention that 10 million accounts made, when it has nothing to do with the actual active players.
