your 100% correct, and im wrong there.

Guess it just feels like 8 months

[tsuchii]

$150 / year if you get the $75/6 months sub

I've never been on hiatus.
Longest break I've been is 3 weeks. Sometimes, I will be gone for a week or two.
I work from home and sometimes I'll just be on just because it's available. Completionists have a ton of stuff to do.

Have you not seen Shirogane? Kugane? Oh my word. The music? Aaaaaaggggghhhhh!

[SquirrelDerp]

I pay my subscription because I enjoy playing the game, mostly.

$350 a patch? I pay like... $160 a year lmao.


You are paying what, almost $90/month? How many accounts do you have? Max paid retainers is 6 + 12.99/mo. That's 24.99/mo. Not 90. That doesn't even hit $350 a year.

everything i bought online goes to the government in taxes so i pay double sub.

I sub coz i like to do roulettes and hope that one day i can max everything to 90 :P

I've been subbed for 8 years. For the amount of hours that I have poured into this game, I've more than gotten my money's worth. I may not log in every single day anymore, but I still log in a couple times a week at least for content.

Truly, 9 years is a long time. It might do you good to do something else till 7.0 launches or is at least imminent. It'll still be here when you get back.

You might find something new and exciting, OR, you might find something out there that helps you realize that isn't so bad here in XIV compared to other places. Which, I know not what will be best for you, but you are here complaining day after day after day about how bad XIV is. You should probably go do something else for a while. You're holding on too tight, imo.

I still enjoy the currently existing content, like the raids and dungeons, from time to time, and I think frontline is pretty fun despite the awful player position update rate in this game. I've played for 9 years but haven't stayed subbed for the whole time. I've taken plenty of breaks, some of which were for long periods of time. FFXIV is a very decent game, and I come and go as I please.

Edit: Also bard bands are pretty fun to watch.

Edit 2: Also, I only pay the entry level subscription of $12.99 a month. I only have one char.
