He may know, like WoW, being on top does not last forever.

WoW lost players because it is a near 20 year old mmo. I am shocked WoW lasted that long on top to be honest....People were saying WoW was too easy back in 2010. I don't think it lost players due to that; just my opinion.

XIV's decline will come eventually, and he may be aware of that. If it happened to WoW, it can happen to any mmo. WoW is the most dominant mmo ever. SE could be working on another mmo for all we know.

XI shifted focus on Trust the same year their final expansion released.
WoW didnt lost most of its players because 'too easy'
The biggest factor is the constant focus on repetitious tasks that players need to do daily/weekly to keep up.
WoW often felt like a chore, and then transitioned this into borrowed power systems
Had this been account wide then *maybe* people wouldnt have found it so bad. but you needed to do it on alts too. In a game that was even more heavy handed than FFXIV is lately with its balance changes.
