"Coming into its own" is too much!

But 90% of a patch cycle insist of doing 'the same runs I did before'. You get 10h doing something new per patch, the other 100h+ is just repeating content.
Either that or stopping until next patch.

If you get your relic in 10h, what would change regarding the time you spent in the game having fun?

You have your relic, but still 2-3 months until new content. And now?

If anything leads to FFXIV'S downfall, it'll be this. Unless something changes drastically in the next expansion, it will most likely be my last one. When the only thing that game has is a grind, there's something wrong with the game. It's an MMO problem in general, honestly, and why so many MMOS have trouble keeping players. WoW got so many players because it was really the only option, but now they're losing players like crazy and I wouldn't be surprised if this game followed suit.

Heavensward had a good story but beyond that everything felt stale pretty quickly because it was more of same. Even the new jobs didn't really feel that unique.
