What would it take to make you unsub from xiv

[Jojoya]

If the combat is just ShB V3.0, and maybe another decent MMORPG hitting the market.

I've already been picking up older MMOs to change things up since FFXIV's combat design is awful.

Continuation of the 2-minute meta will be the downfall of this game.

Considering only about 30% of the player base gets into content where the 2 minute meta matters, and the majority of JP players evidently prefer it, I don't think it will be the downfall of the game. The game would end up much less popular among the raiding crowd in NA and EU but others would still play.

I've seen latley a lot of people threatening to unsub from the game because but so far I haven't seen any real action myself on this. Instead it seams players have chosen simply not to log on instead of unsubbing.

So tell me. Those upset with the game- what does it need to take for you to unsub

And to those satisfied with the game- what would it take for you aswell.

I'm not asking people to unsub, more I'm asking why you haven't and what you would need before u did

I am a solo player and a casual to boot. I still have a very long list of things I want to do in the game. 4 years and still haven't made it into the current expansion. I am in no hurry. I enjoy the fact that I can go on a detour project for weeks or months at a time before going back to work on MSQ.

Given all that I don't see myself leaving the game any time soon. What would drive me out? When it stops being fun for me. That simple.

If healer gameplay gets dumped down even more I would most likely leave. Pressing 1 button 100x of times during every content is just not interesting.

The reason why the two minute meta matters outside of the content where it's required to adhere to is because it's through the lense of those same similarly-playing jobs that we HAVE to experience the game.

Even the limited BLU job is becoming further limited with arbitrary restrictions on WHICH old battle content it can enter, let alone be rewarded for doing.

Losing my primary job and having every plotline I was interested in wrapped up in the most unsatisfying way possible. So ... basically now. January is make or break for me, sadly. I've been a huge Final Fantasy fan since around 89 and I've enjoyed my time in XIV up til Endwalker but said expansion destroyed most of my love for the game.

Genuinely feel sorry about that job loss. That must've been hard.

Well said. I'm basically the same. As long as I'm having fun then that's the main thing.

Although I have to also add that if SE made PvP open world with no restrictions and the game's focus... then yeah, I might have to reevaluate my commitment to the game. But I'm pretty confident that will never happen (based on Yoshi's past comments on the subject).

On second thought, it might depend on what mechanic they try to shoehorn into the game in Dawntrail.

I think everyone just collectively forgets about the "stealth" mechanic they tried to force into EW because it was so bad. Ex: If they add something that's as frustrating and badly implemented as Fall Guys platforming to the MSQ that might be a deal breaker for me too.

This. If SE releases another wreck like EW, then it's all over for me.
