I've had an MMO to play for the past 9 years. First with FFXI, then switched over to FFXIV. When 1.0 went offline, I went back to 11, but, with the latest expansion, and the switch to item levels in 11, it just was no longer for me. So, I came back to 14 at 2.0.

Each patch I was eagerly "looking forward to it" to see how the game would be fleshed out. Turns out, they really weren't fleshing anything out, or adding any depth. They're just upping the item level and adding more shiniez with each patch.

I'm letting my sub run out. Once it's gone, I'm done. Housing is a farce, glamour system is stupid, a sleeping robe is harder to get than BiS gear.

Yet, truly, for me, the most heinous thing about this game is that it's a FINAL FANTASY game, and I couldn't care less about the current 'story' because no one has any personality and nothing has any depth.

Habit, I'm down to 'habit' as the reason why I'm still here :/
Pretty much my feelings as well.

I loved this game so much at launch, and it seems like every patch they release sucks more and more of the joy out of the game and injects misery and grind and absolutely nothing innovative and fresh.

So I log in out of habit..... but I've cancelled my auto renew and have been spending more and more time trying to find better things to do with my time than suffer through SE's laborious, repetitive gameplay that offers very little satisfaction anymore.

I'll likely finish getting my last 2 crafting classes to 50, just before 2.4 hits, and that might be a good time to call it done and move on, because I expect 2.4 to only be one more massive disappointment based on SE's track record to date.
