It's actually pretty normal for people to play multiple MMOs these days. MMOs are no longer the massive time sinks they used to be where if you didn't dedicate every second of your free time to it you'd fall behind with no chance of catching up. I routinely go and jump into ESO for a bit, or WoW and normally do so while still playing FF14. I've even taken breaks, where I've gone to another game for almost two years and came back to FF14. Most of the people I play with play multiple MMOs because, as I said, gone are the days of needing to sink every moment of your life into it and now you can play multiples without sacrificing any kind of progress in them for the most part. At least not progress that can't be made up easily enough.

As for the topic. I've been playing since ARR and I honestly have no issues with how the game is going. There are some things I would change yes, like making V&C Dungeons more worthwhile to keep them active and adding diminishing returns to CC abilities in PvP (Please please please give us diminishing returns. Being kept perma stunned for minutes while you are run over by a wave of players is not fun). But I am enjoying the story and the direction it is going in, and I am glad we have no exploratory zone. That stuff can stay gone as far as I am concerned, though I would welcome back some of the ARR things for Relics like having specific fights for it, or having to do certain things along with grinding out currency. Just no more Eureka or Bozja. Please. No more.
