FFXIV is in a Prime Position to Make Some Drastic Changes

[Kallera]

All the games you mentioned. ESO, GW2, SWOTOR, and Wildstar have had less success than FF14..... People begged the devs to make the game quicker and easier and now they are bored. New players are still having fun. It's the old saying "Be careful what you wish for, cuz you just might get it"

SE needs to find something that sticks because the df tome race is wearing thin on more and more people each patch.

Yet people have turned their nose up at every alternative offered so far... diadem, raiding, relic... and in 3.2 people will bellyache about crafted gear I'm sure.

Diadem has its own fixable problems, raiding savage is overtuned and out of reach for many players, and relic still involves the df, a major portion of its grind is from tomes found in df runs. when the problem is rerunning content until you are sick, then running it some more, That is hardly an alternative.
