What would it take to make you unsub from xiv

[Boblawblah]

I'm sorry that I came off rude
Honestly, I don't have the space for all of my housing items- my retainers are full of more housing items which I love & since you cannot manually demolish your estate until all housing items are out- so I'm letting auto demolish take over bc those items will go to the housing ward retainer, where they'll hold the items & gil for x amount of time & I'll just grab the items I intend to keep & the gil while the rest goes 'poof' (im sorry if you already knew this) so I figured that why not get my gil back as I wait- What's one more month? (my house will demolish in January)

I didn't know, I've avoided having a house because of how tied to a sub it is. I don't envy people that have invested so much into housing but want to stop playing for chunks of time, I couldn't do it. And no, you didn't come across snarky, that's on me, I was snarky in my original comment. I apologize.

I have really good houses, and I still log on at least a couple times a week, even though I've been subbed since August 2015. Maybe when the servers close?

I'm not in a financial position where 15 dollars a month bothers me. No other game has kept my interest half as long as FFXIV, and I don't see anything else pulling me away for very long, anytime soon.

The content gaps getting larger has certainly put a major damper on my enthusiasm right now. The 9 month gap between 6.5 and 7.0 is just nuts. I quit WoW in Pandaria when I heard of its 9 month gap.

I am still here because I recently had my baby and I use the game to chat with some friends when I get time to login. Had I not had my little boy, I would have probably moved on to something else. As it is now, what little content I have left will keep me busy for a few more months.

If I could ask anything of the devs, please focus more time and resources on the post expansion patches and less on the expansion in itself. I want to have more to enjoy in the long term rather than a single blast and it’s over for months and months and months …

If I can't bs my way into getting the game to function after 7.0 comes out, because I know I'm not actually going to get around to building a new computer that meets the increased specs despite having intended to for nearly two years.

If Dawntrail sucks. So far they have not shown anything in the trailers that would interest me.

[Altera]

If Se/Devs would make Mods and addons an official feature of XIV. I ran away from WOW after 10 years as Addons was becoming worse and worse and XIV had a zero third party TOS but seems they do not enforce it hard enough as people seem to promote Mare Lamentorum even on their AdvPlate.

If Dawntrail keeps be boring like those 2 Trailers they made and showed to us.
I don't think there will be more to the Story or even to the Expansion.
Guess SE wasted too much time with Final Fantasy 16, and now they try to sell us a boring Story and some Graphic changes as a big fat new thing.
How long will the “Hype” last for the new Graphics? 1–2 Days?
And what then? If the Story will be bad and the things we get with Dawntrail will be 0815 like in Endwalker.
Then there will be not much left.

I'm satisfied with the game. If my family quit playing and I ran out of stuff to do I'd let my subscription go, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I work pretty slowly at the things that interest me, enjoy playing alts, and also enjoy setting odd tasks for myself like checking off every crafting recipe for every job. So there's a lot to keep me occupied.

the ability to not lose my house
jokes on them tho i do what i can to scream to the heavens about how boring the game is now and i have a not-insubstantial following on various sites following me for my, ahem, "artwork" so 8-10k people get to hear me complain about it.

Given the primary selling point of the game is the story, its really only worth subbing for short periods of time and coming back when there is sufficiently more to play through for a month.
Unfortunately the devs have never managed to implement content that provides a compelling reason to sick around. That and the timeframe between patches has progressively gotten longer over the years.
