What made you stop playing ffxiv?

[Lampy]

Gear damage was a big contender for me. Especially with weapons, i can't remember exactly but I'm sure it wasn't much over an hour before my lance would be damaged.. the frequency of this caused me to level GS up to repair it out in the field, then i learned my next lance would require Carpentry, and enough was enough. Its one of the biggest annoyances i found with the game, for me it didn't add realism, it wasn't a cute little gimmick, it was a huge inconvenience that halted my enjoyment of the game.

Lack of quests.

I don't view the added sidequests as anything more than leves with even less rewards.

I played XI because the world was alive and interesting filled with cutscenes and stories.

Still waiting for real quest before I commit more time to this game.

I almost stopped due to lack of anything worth doing, impossibility to find people to party with, ghost town of afk people and realization that i spent 50% of my play time dealing with the horrible interface.
