Why are you not playing this game?

[MrSmiley]

Waiting out rest of my sub, a couple more months than I think I am done. Worth noting, I have been subbed every single day of FFXIV, ever since 1.0, I have never unsubbed, this will be the first time I actually unsub the game. There is nothing to do, they patches are all the exact same thing, they add less and less glamour, more and more mogstation, new changes to make even the old stale things, like alliance raids rolls, even more annoying

Nothing new ever, nothing exciting, always changes these days to make it longer, not more fun or rewarding. MMO's all grind, but ffxiv is nothing but a boring grind after another, hell we only get 4 real raid fights every 6 months and 2-3 of them are throwaways. We are halfway through SB, and I am doing the same exact things, for little to no reward. It's just not fun anymore, and they are more intent on how to stuff more into mogstation than convince me to stay.

I envy you for bringing yourself to do that. I'm in the same situation, but the sunk-cost has a pretty good grip on me. One part of me is just holding-out for upcoming things like the upcoming Frontline dailies (as bad/neglected as PvP is, it's like the one thing that isn't static/boring) or the next parts of Eureka and PotD and hope they somehow break up the monotony, but I really should've learned by now to not get my hopes up. The other part is held hostage by my personal house (I was stoked about getting one since like, even back in 1.2x when it was announced for ARR) that would likely make unsubbing and never looking back much easier should I lose/forfeit it

The content feels so stale and the gear treadmill is so aggressive that I'm just so apathetic to "new" patch details releases. Like, another trial/raid to run repeatedly ad nauseam where it feels like the real fight is against the competency/memorizing skills of your party members for drops that may not even appear for you (have mercy if you want the new EX mount) and/or for very temporary ilvl increases. Another dungeon to be tired of and an expert on running after the 2nd or 3rd time.

Just find myself logging on less and less. It's a shame, I still love the game's aesthetics and setting. They say "familiarity breeds contempt" and I don't think this has ever been more true. If "absence makes the heart grow fonder," yeah, maybe the personal house has to finally go...
