Difference in playstyles mostly.

Person A and Person B both join the game at launch but take different paths after joining.

Person A is hardcore, was Omni-50 during 2.x and has been Omni-60 since 3.0/3.1. Has gained everything from the GS, has multiple zodiac and anima weapons, has the minions, the mounts, a house, etc. For them, they could feel the game is kinda stale. They have been doing the same thing for some time now. They have few progression paths open to them, and they all have weekly lockouts which retard their progression towards their goals. After Wednesday, they have nothing of personal value to work towards. They are more likely to say the game is boring and needs work.

Player B is less hardcore. They may have attained 50 on one (1) or a few jobs in 2.x and have zero (0) jobs at 60 or a few. They have jobs to level, they could go do stuff in the GS towards the turtle or fenrir or the dances, etc. They could go and do quests, basically, all or most progression paths are currently open to them. They are more likely to say the game is great as it is.

It is simply a matter of perspective based upon your own personal needs/wants and the ability of the game to satisfy them.
