I still play to occasionally do harder content with friends. I'm playing other games with the remainder of my time. I already have the Necromancer title. I don't enjoy FATE grinding. I have my house and apartment decorated. I come back for a few weeks around major patch drops, but this game doesn't make content with a lot of longevity for me anymore.

FFXIV just has the most terribly-designed healers I've ever seen in a video game, and their stated design direction for all of the jobs doesn't look much brighter. I'm not here to complain about the periphery; I think this game's PVE design for combat jobs is an embarrassing blight on an otherwise alright game, and their absolute refusal to hire more designers, inject some creativity, or design jobs (not named Black Mage) for anyone who has more than six brain cells or whines incessantly that having any skill expression in combat is too haaaaaarrrrrrrd is a direction I'll rail against for as long as railing against it entertains me.
