while i love ffxiv and have played since beta phase 3 back in 2014 ( with a few breaks here and there ) i fear it may go the way of WOW !!

I think this is a weird fear many people have. This game is no where near what WoW is. I do agree I think it would be better if the game died and a new game was made as the skeleton of 1.0 really shows it's face a lot at times, and limits what can be done with the game.

This part I disagree with. While I think what Yoshi P did with changing 1.0 to 2.0 and reworking the game into something better was great. The game has gone in the poor direction it has with Yoshi P at the helm. As much praise as we give the guy, no one seems to want to acknowledge that all the problems with the game are his fault as well. Which doesn't surprise me as a majority of the people that praise him so much, see no problems with the game.

I doubt the game is going to die though, as they do want it to go on for 10 more years and there have likely already been funds allocated to potentially doing this. I hope class design starts to improve, I feel that most classes don't feel as interesting or fun anymore. I hope the story is interesting, I was not a fan of EW story at all I thought it was a pretty crappy ending to past 10 years of this games plot. Would definitely like a greater variety of content and a less formulaic patch cycle to maintain my interest and curiosity more.

My expectations though are very low. I think the next expansions story will be bad, I think class design will get worst, and I think the patch cycle will stay the same. I likely play at launch, then never play again.
