I've been doing what Yoshida said and playing other games and instead of the break renewing my interest in FF14 over time, it's actually killing it. There are some great games out there with actual challenge and after being treated like I have a functioning brain and being rewarded for it, I just can't force myself to come back here to faceroll Expert for tomes I don't care about or spend 1 minute flying over to an elephant and moving a crate 20 yards for my daily. Nor can I be bothered carrying awful players through content by playing my best in return for being resented as a filthy elitist.

There's just no point. I literally only play FF14 for Savage raids and to run my FC now. That's it.
the worst part is that other games are adopting this thinking of make everything super easy or super accessible and homogenized most upcoming MMO releases are crossplatform with mobile which will greatly limit themselves for example, and more and more dev teams/companies don't even communicate with their playerbase or even understand how their game works. and it's sad cause we won't see any changes cause people won't do anything about it
