It is funny that after 4 months since patch 2.2 more and more people are leaving FF14 because of the sole factor of the Atma Grind and again the only people defending it are the Elitist. If you go to http://xivsoul.com/ and look at the stats on the game, you will notice since the last time SE published any facts about their game's population that is has that they have not gained that many players into the game but have actually lost active subscribers since patch 2.2 with this free weekend as prove of it! Most of the people on facebook and twitter I talk to including several of my friends have stated they left solely for the reason of the Atma grind and on the direction on where the game is going....not the FF14 we came to love but a clone of the irritating and campfest that was FF11 which only the most hardcore elitist fanboys enjoyed while the rest of us casuals leave for something more useful with our time in another game!
