It surprises me a little that a person would even bother to ask... That is a long story that does not belong in a place like this.

That said, you are correct, though... The Genre itself(a mere action game), and the general fundamental design of FFXIV, are both either not a match to.. or against my preference, yeh. And I do play other games a lot... I just continue to return to FFXIV, every time that I leave it, as I am not able to leave one final time, nor able to make the decision to not return...
Alas.. as I just did type, my story does not belong told here in this place, so I will refrain from that temptation.

On thread topic, what ever the cause or where ever whence it comes, myself and many others, both people here and not here, hate the slow progression of further homogenization and simplicity that steadily afflicts FFXIV. I am here like any other to share my opinion/s about it, and complain about a thing that we all hate... personal reasons or history with the game does not matter much.
I admit that in this particular case, I can not quite offer suggestions all that well, to deal with the as yet to still grow issue of homogenization and simplicity, but I can at least express that I feel similar to many others, to throw even a little more weight onto what ever scale may or may not collect all of these complaints, and weigh their worth.
