Sometimes people are stuck with what they know and hope it'll get better for them, and XIV is an old game that they used to feel comfortable with and even good about. It ain't that complicated.
Yeah it's a 'video game' and it's sad - But it's still a hobby a lot of people have actively engaged in, made friends in, built communities around for a decade.

For a lot of players XIV might actually have been their first MMO, and they don't really want to look around, or even know how. So they just want it to get better.

I think if SE reduced the predatory subscription systems with housing, FC ownership, and raid lockouts - We wouldn't be so attached.
I dont think raid lockouts is predatory. Housing and FC ownership for sure, although thankfully not many people own a house anyway. Please hoping that IS eventually fixes this, now that they're adding more housing features there.
