I like my Midlander, though I'd much prefer the option to play a taller guy with bigger muscles who doesn't look like he's lost a hundred bar fights.
So people value different things. And yet I personally would struggle to find another MMO that even comes close to offering what XIV has. I still get frustrated over some parts of the game (like the cash shop or the lack of difficulty in old content) but if you look at the competition apart from maybe the usual other five (maybe) the rest is really, really bad. I wouldn't go so far as to say we're all spoiled but c'mon. Again, the sky isn't falling.
