What would it take to make you unsub from xiv

[Palladiamors]

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

Yeaaaa, that was the worst part. It might sound silly, but my character was tied to that job, it was part of his identity so that was part of my tether to the game. I tried very hard to like or enjoy nu summoner but I just couldn't. I finished off the main scenario and did something I hadn't done in years: I unsubbed. For a substantial length of time. I only really came back because my nephew asked me to play with him.

To be clear, I don't want nu summoner removed, I don't want other people to have to deal with that. I just wish they'd made it it's own unique job and left mine alone.

Lobotomizing DRG would seriously make me consider moving on, my reasons for quitting every MMO in the past have always been ignited by my favorite job being destroyed, tick tock.

It would take a RL situation that forces me to cut back on expenses. Even then, this would have to be pretty significant because the monthly sub fee is a very minor expense in comparison to other things that cost more that I am willing to cut out.

When I quit FFXI, I knew I was done. I unsubbed and resubbed several times, but eventually arrived at the conclusion that my time in Vanadiel was over. There wasn't anything I felt like doing, all my friends had left, and I had no attachment to my character. The last two are the quintessential tell tale signs that it's over. Right now, the very thought of leaving FFXIV behind is heartbreaking, so no chance of unsubbing anytime soon.

When there is no jobs/class left - that I enjoy playing,
I currently only like 3 jobs, so the list is already short..

I have to wonder what the hell game one thinks they're playing if they think there's ANY chance at no holds barred open world PvP. Like, it just suggest a lack of understanding about the game on a few fundamental levels.

For me, the mechanic I loved to mock that they introduced was escort quests.

Finally! Technology that existed and was hated long before 2004 and original WoW makes it into the modern age to slow you down as your NPCs get out of range and need to be babysat. They fixed some stuff about it but man, it's really just about people that want to take pictures of their characters with NPCs nowadays, isn't it? I'm not sure how the story was ever improved thanks to escort quests functionality that they couldn't just do with the old ' NPC chills at the next quest point of interest'.

Simple: another MMO that is better FFXIV.

Every times I hear someone talk about "FF14 is dying and we should jump ship when we can" I feel I don't even need to defend the game. Just simply point out: sure, show me a better ship then I'll jump. Tbh, as much as I like FF14, it has been about 10 years. Even if the Dev didn't mishap, I would be lying if I say I don't feel the game is getting old. The biggest issue isn't with FF14 itself, it's with the market. As often as anyone can point out singular shortcoming of this game, the fact is it's still the most polished package available on the market without any other MMO remotely come close. As trust me I tried, I have toured most of the MMO released in the past 15+ years, and I find no other MMO that has a balance of gameplay/story/aehthestic/QoL like FF14 do.


Again, if someone can show me a better ship, I'll gladly make the jump off this old ship. But there is no point to make a jump when all the alternative are inferior, or jump into the ocean (just quit MMO altogether).

My list:

- goes the way WoW did
- making everything locked behind group content
- introduces an competitive M+ like system
- adds even more buttons to our bars
- forsakes the RPG/solo element of the game

The above would kill it for me.

Another Endwalker post patch Story/Expansion
Personally did not care for Zero's story. Gaius was the only redemption of it. Couldn't wait for it to be finished.
As far as Content outside of the 2 ultimate fights, we got Island Sanctuary and Criterion dungeons on top of one of the worst if not the most unappealing raid tiers as far as Glamour and rewards go. More reused assets from older expansions (You thought you could re use the Shadowbringer crafted set for a endwalker dungeon gear set SE nice try) If I didn't have a small house/ help friends with ultimate raids I would of unsubbed for a few months. If classes don't feel great in DT then my drive to keep playing will diminish.
