I liked managing my own TP gain. I liked being able to react with increased or decreased output of whatever it was I was doing as the situation evolved.

FFXIV team, your game mechanics have never been the problem. They were just different. The problem with FFXIV has been a lack of content. You made an incredibly pretty world, filled it with some excellently animated and realized characters, and then you gave me nothing to do in it.

Should you have simply opted for more content? You would've had my subscription fee for at least as long as XI had it (about five years or so). Now? Your game doesn't offer me anything that I can't get somewhere else. And those other venues have had much more time to populate their worlds with things to do.

It's unlikely to happen, but here: Roll back the combat changes. Or at least give me a choice between using the active stamina system, and using the auto-attack you've rolled out.
Exact opinion my friend and I have had. I held this idea as soon as the auto-attack video was shown, even. I'm just wondering how long it'll take before people realize that this makes things a lot more boring and generic, and complain for another overhaul (I give it about a month).
