Selling of IP's

FFXIV as far as I know has always been gaining players over time.
I rly wonder what game you're playing if you think that the quality hasn't gone up too..

Technically yes the game gains players over time but it's problem is keeping them..

The recent ads you see on social media are upto like 25million players now..

But what that actually means is 25 million people "have" played the game not 25 million people "do" play the game... someone could download the game create a character make get to level 2 on there first job and never play again... and still be counted in that 25 million.

The active population of the game hasn't grown that much at all on average over the games life.

You can see hints of this just with the login queues.. That big influx from WoW or whatever and the new expansion we recently got saw players getting login queues of hundreds if not thousands of players..
and yet literally weeks later those queues were all but gone..all those players arent here anymore.. bored and quit already.

The overall quality of the game has deterioated quite a lot. there's more examples of that than you can possibly list. content quality, jobs, story, aesthetics...

if the quality is continupusly imporving why are the 4.0 versions of many jobs like ast and brd widely regarded as the best iterations to date? the quality of jobs has basically tanked.
