I've been in the same boat. I've only been able to cope because I'm only really playing for friends, if they quit then I wouldn't have a second thought about quitting and uninstalling either. I'm free of responsibilities as far as houses, statics and leadership are concerned. I treat FFXIV very much as second game status and long since stopped taking it seriously in all areas. I won't lie but the day I did that it was the best feeling ever.
