The domino effect started in 4.0 with Lilies, and got worse in 5.0 with healers being gutted.

It's not all negative. I made a lot of friends here, met my long-term partner, and still have had a blast playing the game. I adored the story from start to finish, and I'm probably going to be back for MSQ, at least, in 7.0.
That's all. If they make healers or tanks fun again, I'll probably come right back like a coke fiend, but until such a day? I bid you all farewell.
Just to pre-empt the expected: You can have some of my stuff. One of my characters has a small house on Balmung, in Mists. It should be up for grabs in a little over a month. I entirely forget what sub-ward it is, but it's owned by the character Ophelia Dubhslainne.
