Post reason why you are stopping/quitting to help the devs improve FFXIV

[Anon]

[Reason why you're stopping/quitting FFXIV]
1. "Lack of content" but not because it's not there but because the devs decided to continuously remove the incentive to do world nms, darkhold, and strongholds with each patch. So rather lack of incentive to do the existing content due to their HUGE failure to itemize properly and/or refusal to allow unique untradable to be melded. (I believe the problem could be fixed by allowing un/un to contain one meld slot while crafted gear contain 5 or what ever the current limit is.)
2. Removal of my favorite spells such as siphon mp, drain, and thaumaturges' lack of mp management abilities.
3. Yoshidas' post about moving to interrupt spells.

[Parts you enjoyed about FFXIV]
I enjoyed patch 1.18 and 1.19.

[Parts you were disappointed with FFXIV]

• Too slow to merge servers It has been painfully difficult to find groups and it's too little too late now we've already lost far too many players due to this.
• Patch 1.20.
• Itemization; see mage primal weapons.
• No incentives to do old content.
• Server lag.
• Lack of matching and or completed armor sets, I ocd over this. (ex: no hands for the cobalt chain set, can't dye cobalt plate belt and raptorskin satchel belt etc)
• Materia awarded from spirit bonding too random. (all rank 41+ gear should grantee rank IV materia)
• No vanity slots for things like capes, tabards, and face items like glasses or masks.
• Lack of epic feeling during storyline/questing.
• Tedious crafting.
• Insignificant leve/quest rewards thus making them irrelevant.
• Lack of reasonable way to grind company seals I would like more than 100-150 seals for standing around for 15 minutes please.
• Gear from grand companies being different and even best in slot in some cases after being assured to not sweat it and just pick the one you like.
• Less reasons to party than before.
• Lack of RDM, FNC, SAM, and DRK.
• Non linked Aution House/Market Ward to alleviate player distribution.
• Lack of PvP.
• No guild management features. (WE REALLY NEED AN LS MESSAGE)
• Jobs being bandaids applied to classes instead of new separate entities that could be leveled.
• The flickering and cut up shadows.
• Emote voices are too few to select from and all are horrid. (I also think it would be cool to hear NA players emote in English and Japanese players in Japanese.)
• The hair highlights are also an abomination.

[What kind of changes do you want to see for you to come back and play?] (optional)

• For the dev team to stop taking two steps forward one step backwards with every patch and for
• un/un gear to become relevant again so that in turn raiding becomes the focus of the game.

[Last comment]
I will be trying out patch 1.21 but I expect to be disappointed.


Edit: needs more Ascian. ^^
