What would it take for you to quit the game?

When 4.1 is copy and paste of 3.1 and 2.1 and then I realize...really they didn't learn, and they didn't put our cash towards new fun exciting content...that's when <3

They're promising a revamped battle system (expect it to still be about the same but with less skill bloat) and swimming which is something. As for story pacing it's probably going to stay the same as what Heavensward put into place because everyone complained about too much filler and fetch Quests from the 2.x series. I do expect them to follow up on the 3 Raid difficulty tiers and I'm hoping that they have something more than just the 4 boss system they've been using since forever. I'd also like to see Dungeons get a change of pace as well like swimming puzzles or something just anything to change it up a bit.

Other than stuff like that I don't see it dramatically changing. They have a formula and it does work and a lot of people are happy with it.

Open world PVP that you can't opt out of is the only thing I can think of that would make me quit.

The game is not accessible enough - there are time gates all over the place that make the game tedious. Once you get behind, you are behind for a long time. All the daily/weekly bonuses like some f2p game and weekly caps/resets suck a lot of freedom out of the game. tbh. sometimes I felt like a slave while playing.

I stopped playing about 3 months ago and at time I thought that it would be for good... luckily for SE the state of MMORPG market is so sad that I am gonna buy Stromblood for the new jobs, but that\\'s about it. I don\\'t expect the game to change from the chore system to something more entertaining.

Atm. just paying my housing tax. Maybe I could log in... but the knowledge I am not gonna catch up till the expansion anyways and even if I do it\\'s gonna be rest time right away... it kills my will to log in atm.

What your referring to is not a question of accessibility though.

You're referring to progression and rewards more directly. And yeah once your behind on them you can't really catch up till the next patch and yes that kind of sucks.

But falling behind on ilivl or gear does not in any way make content inaccessible. Even if your 30 I levels behind the top you can still access almost everything.

I could not have acquired a single tome tome of scripture or single piece of 260 gear since 3.4 launched and I would still be able to access and clear virtually every piece of content this game has despite being a long way behind on rewards. Even on jobs that are still rocking lore gear or yaefem. That is what accessibility is.

You cannot say this game is not accessible enough when it's so easy to unlock and clear virtually every piece of content the game has to offer. you can face roll you're way through even if you are 30 Ilevels behind.

even savage raiding. buy 250 gear on the markets and jump into raid finder. you cannot really get more a more accessible design than that..

the problem with this game is it focusses to much on accessibility of content and not enough on quality of content. the quality of content is getting worse and worse and that again is why the subcount is as low as it is....

it's all very well trying to rope in new players all the time but the current player base numbers would suggest that all these new players clearly aren't sticking around very long. and that's because the game isn't satisfying or rewarding. accessiblilty has killed so much in this game

Jump potions that made playing the game worthless (eg instant i270 & all story complete during a relevant period) or if it went F2P but P2W.

You know why people are upset about Viera? Because SE have been teasing them ever since the race poll. They won, and yes there are people that would like them to honor that. I think people have a right to like them.

it was a poll, not a promise - they are under no obligation to add Viera just because of a poll result.
I don't want them to add viera, because it wouldn't add anything new whatsoever (not even bunny ears, cause we already have them) it would just be a symbol of how SE copy-paste content, and how utterly repetitive and predictable all the content, is - that is, Viera will look like Miq or Elezen, but with bunny ears instead of cat ears, or elven ears.
the only reason ppl want Viera, is because of Fran - so we're gonna have an army of Frans demanding SE to add Fran outfit to the game, so they all can be even more copy-pasted like the rest of XIV content.
Honestly at this rate, i wish they would just add more sub-races instead; like a bulkier viking-like hyur, less bulky (male) roe. more feral miq, less chubby/more nimble lala.

clearly it's not working, since a lot of ppl are quitting or complaining.

[Aronys]

For me to quit... If I couldn't access my account due to hacking or a ban, or if a new FF MMO would be out, which I doubt would happen anytime soon. I hope to still play this game for the next 10 years or so.

People have been complaining and quitting since 2.0 and nothing SE does will make every single individual happy.
