EDIT:

Ah, I see. You're just posting this thread again and hoping no one remembers you did so a few months ago: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-to-quit-FFXIV

To post on these forums, you not only must have a paid account, you must have LOGGED INTO IT (the game) within the last 14 days or so.

If you hate this game so much and are having oh-so-much FUN(!!!) in Guild Wars 2 and WoW and New World (lol) and so on...

...why...
...are you...
...still HERE??

You aren't posting constructive criticism and you're insisting 7.0 won't change anything, so you clearly aren't in that camp of "We love the game and just think we can change it", since for that to be true you'd have to think 7.0 IS going to change (or at least CAN be by criticism). But you aren't even offering criticism. You're talking up other games and insisting people need to leave this one because it WON'T change in 7.0 and there is no hope for it to.

Forced to agree.

I quit a Free to Play Game I'd played for 11 years prior to moving to FFXIV.

I still log into that game on very rare occasions as I have a Lifetime Subscription to it, receive a monthly Stipend, and like to occasionally check how much I've amassed and say hi to a few friends who don't communicate by any other means.

But so far as the game itself goes - the greedy, lootbox obsessed, business model - which became worse and worse over time, to the point where I'd say the business model is more 'smartphone game' than MMO - put me off and I stopped playing the game in any serious way late 2021. And pretty much drew a line under posting on it's forum. I saw no point in doing so since I would have nothing to say that wouldn't clash with both the White Knights on that forum and the very easily offended CM and moderators.

Although I will confess I did post there a few weeks ago - following a friend mentioning the fact that the CM of said game had been promoted despite having a six-year history of consistently producing sloppy, badly written, mistake-riddled blogs I posted on the forum of that game expressing amusement at said CM having 'failed upward' despite a demonstrable inability to use spell checking software or even proof-read his product. I was subsequently perma-banned from their forum, as the CM and moderators there are THAT adverse to negativity and criticism.
