For me I have little issue (for now) with XIV because I am interested in a variety of games. If the quality of the content here isn't keeping my interest, I can spend those hours on a new game with a whole new story and mechanics to enjoy. For me XIV has enough content that I can stay interested in quite a while, but even I decide I'd rather do something new than say....go to my island or something. I just don't often feel like clicking on nodes for that long vs. maybe just booting up Diablo and clicking on monsters there lol.

I still get an hour minimum out of XIV every day since I'm still levelling classes, but when I'm done that I'll probably feel quite the lull. I'm mostly interested in MSQ, levelling combat classes, and upgrading gear and when that cycle is over I typically look elsewhere rather than do less interesting (to me) content.

That said I do understand the concern of those who feel the balance of content they are interested in vs. not interested is resulting in them not wanting to play, which is valid feedback.
