From the sound of your well thought out post, it sounds like you do.

You also say “ripped the need for group out of the game” about a game that cannot be progressed without a group, I find that a little fabricated, but I get what you mean.

It sounds like from your own post you make an admission of no interest in the franchise itself or it’s future. Your only interest seems to be about what you can have right now, so I really don’t have much advice for you sadly.
I want to recommend that you read this guy's post again. I don't think he's about the instant gratification. So far, ARR is the MOST instant gratification game I've seen, and yet, we have people that are unhappy with it. From what I read in Yashnaheen's post, there just isn't anything fun. Once you have your favorite job geared out in the BiS stuff, that's it. There's nothing else to work for. To me, that didn't seem like instant gratification. I feel like he's looking for something challenging or fun, and just not finding it here.

I know that there are quite a few long posts here, but I would also recommend that you go back and read some of them again. Not all of the responses indicate that no game will satisfy them. Some of us don't necessarily want constant new content, but content that is worthwhile, has replay value or gives us more options for gear/rewards/experiences. Personally, I was happy with XI all the way until they introduced item levels, I was happy with 1.0, I was even happier with 1.23 and yet, 2.0 leaves me feeling very, very disappointed in the dev team.

EDIT: When I say more options for gear, what I'm specifically referring to is more horizontal options, not higher powered options.
