What keeps you playing FFXIV?

[FunkYeahDragons]

Currently it's my friends and interest in raiding in 3.4. I like the aesthetics, the communities I'm in, and the jobs I play catch my interest.

Yet I'm barely clinging to my sub, as many friends have unsubbed the past few months and I've had a lot of disappointments. A few of them left for WoW and I seriously considered going as well (went on the free trial, asked about similar classes, etc.). I stuck to FFXIV because it's familiar and I know more people here who I'd otherwise just play HotS or Starbound with.

PVP is worse than ever and I'm sick to death of FATEs. I loved the first Moonfire Faire because the FATEs were packed so you could people-watch, even while crafting, and the crafting was just crafting.
