This game has like 25% of the endgame it needs to keep people who play more then 10hrs a week occupied.

ENDGAME constantly negates itself in XIV. There is less then 10hrs of relevant endgame a week in XIV. Sure there is hundreds of hours of fluff and vanity content, but that is not going to work for the endgame players.
Unfortunately for said endgame players, they'll never... ever... be the focal point for XIV, so long as the Yoshi-P aims for the game to be easy access to everyone. Time will always be spent primarily with "fluff and vanity content" as a result. As much as players hate to admit it, they'll willingly spend as much time as possible trying to get something if they want it... even if it's in the name of vanity and riddled with self-inflicted complaints along the way.

If you're strictly about the endgame, you will leave... and be of zero loss. If you're about endgame but also enjoy the fluff and vanity (story, GS, glamour, mounts, having fun doing random stuff with friends, etc), you will thrive here. Maybe you'll leave in that light, that's bound to happen... we all lose interest or maybe have financial issues or other priorities to take care of. Things happen. You and your friends are in the wrong part of town if you're only playing for endgame.

Highest tier endgame will always get the short end of the stick, its always been that way... it always will be that way, as its an inevitability of what we call "progression" when dealing with raids. If you're bored of an MMORPG, welcome to the club. It's a club called "life". We tend to experience things here that a select few might consider "odd", in that it was "odd" that people may not realize you can grow bored of anything at any moment. You should never look at and hope/expect an MMORPG to hold your life hostage from everything else outside of it. Play if you feel like it, stop playing if you don't (such as if you're bored of it). I suddenly became bored of popular games like Skyrim in the first hour of playing, but that doesn't mean there was something wrong with the game though.
