If it is true what you are writing with 2 decades, i can say i started Playing MMORPGs 18 Years ago, more then 10 Years Raiding so i would say we are nearly on the same experience.

I dont know if you want to understand me or my pov, or just find it fun to discuss about something which isnt really necassary to do, but ill give you an example out of my RL.

My GF working as Nurse she did the 3 Years education here in our Country. I did the 1 Years education as Nurse, we both work at the same Place, she is allowed to do more then i do, but our Monthly Gain is about 200€ difference and she has alot of more Work. I dont see me doin another 2 Years of School just because of 200€ lol. - to make it short, the benefits are not worth doin it. And thats the whole Point of my PoV incase of Ilevel and Raiding.

My Point of View is in no way "poor", its just the experience which Forms a Person and his personality.

If i want to be nearly equal to everyoneelse i would go and Play something like GW2 (dont know if its changed over time and with the Expansion) in Terms of MMOs and would go Play League of Legends/Dota or CS or Playerunknowns Battlegrounds etc, etc.

Other MMORPGs like WoW (which i am not a big fan from) also pushed the Raid community aswell give them an higher Ilevel, alot more Effects and Seteffects to the Gear and still Keep the non-raiders busy in case of Gear Progression. Before u argue that WoW losing Subs over and over. WoW is old and still be played by an wide audience of Players. I am pretty sure that if Blizzard would stop to melk the WoW Playerbase and would recreate a new Kind of WoW that XIV would suffer under it.

I like XIV in Terms of Storytelling and... thats it. i just came back a few weeks ago after a 2 Years "break" from the Game, it will end the same as it was in Heavensward, ill have my mainjob maxed out in SB withing a week, fully Geared couze of Hunts, will do the first Primals on ex and then ill afkshire all day Long.

But i can accept the fact, that this game isnt for me as old School MMO Player anymore. Ill just do what i enjoy (which is basicly the Story) and then i am out again and go Play anyhtingelse until a Gamedesigner come over and Show me a game which i can actually call Home again thats life
