Why I can't stop playing FFXIV

[Hayward]

Careful. There are people here who won't be happy until XIV is turned into a grindfest that can only be enjoyed by people who play certain classes approved by a certain elitist forum. Your enthusiam might trigger their posting instincts something fierce.

On topic (if there was one offered): The Armory system, while not perfect, is definitely a plus for XIV. Some of the locales are are unbelievably designed (Costa del Sol is postcard-quality on clear and sunny days).
