    1) Graphics. Graphics is what makes me endure the daily routine of doing the same two dungeons over and over, the same scripted fights over and over. If FFXIV had the graphics style of say WOW, I'd probably not even payed a cent after beta.

    2) Witcher 3. There are a lot of things a single player game offers that MMOs will never ever be able to offer due to the inherent difference in their business models. I would suggest every MMO player to play a single player game once per year at least to remind themselves what gaming really should be.

    I second this. The only reason I'm still playing FFXIV for the moment is friends, otherwise my life would be consumed with Witcher 3. I feel like FFXIV is in part a job, while I feel like Witcher 3 and other single player games lately are actually fun.

    I don't rush content and I'm already done with just about all the non-grindy stuff in FFXIV :/. The expansion provided surprisingly little fun after the initial amazement for me.

    If you have to have an MMO and want a good community, I'd recommend The Secret World. It's got its issues but the community's overall attitude is not one of the issues. Its community is a million times better than FFXIV's imo. There aren't nearly as many things to do there though to keep you occupied and updates are slow compared to FFXIV, but it'll keep you entertained for a good while nonetheless if you like it.
