The current formula doesn't work well for some now, but what about newer players that join a year or 2 from now. Why buy ARR and HW when the next expansion is released? The way content is made irrelevant so quickly, why buy a game or expansions that has nothing to currently offer? FFXI still has players doing dynamis, salvage, nyzul isle and einherjar for relics and mythics. And how about the rewards for finishing the main story? A wind up minion. Lol. They missed the boat on jobs as well, there is no flexibility for creativity. Not to mention the gear swapping in 11 is great.
