What went wrong? Is it the game or the grenre?

Once again it's a vocal minority that is complaining about XIV. It's not like XI enough? Too bad so sad. XI is bad outdated MMO game design. There's a reason nobody makes grindfest questless directionless MMOs like XI anymore. If that's the kind of dying game you want to play, you're free to go back to playing XI.

Stop complaining that XIV is too much like WoW and other modern MMOs. It's a winning formula and if you get bored of it, that's your own problem. There are millions of other gamers out there who don't mind it.

Yeah it's the winning formula...for one game that is way past its prime.
