Plus take player feedback in what constitutes a fair grind vs a mundane grind.( 99 EX fights vs 50 EX fights, no weekly tome cap, no half a year to get a full set of gear for one class) So much is needed in this game and it sucks that when new content comes out like crafting weapons they forget the new jobs all the time. Character customization is very lacking as well. Not much in face design or even hair design. Just some ideas
You might not care if "the game goes offline for a year or 2" and i won't debate your opinion, however I wouldn't be surprised that should a game decide to go on hiatus for 2 years, then a significant potion of the community would simply never return, no matter how good the changes were.

It's more likely that the game producer would make smaller changes to the existing game while having a roadmap in mind, likely a completely new FF game with a new engine and other factors that could support your requests and many other issues that people have been asking for -such as housing improvements . That seems to be the approach with FFXIV, that also allows for not imposing potentially costly hardware upgrades on what SE has likely analyzed on to be a significant portion of the customer base, especially during the past couple of years.
