This game is just not what it used to be.

A lot of my super casual friends quit during Endwalker's patches because things are so basic. Even the ones that remained are logging in less and less, and only seem to do so for friends.

Not a single person I know has said anything positive about Dawntrail so far, aside from Trials 1 and 3. Everyone is either bored of their job or devastated by having it dumbed down further.

I plan to unsub as soon as I finish msq for these reasons. Favorite job is basically ruined, story leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe the patch content will be good. I'll resub at some point and do it all at once. I'm not going to keep paying these devs for these results.

And if Yoshi P expects people to just grind Ultimate, he can also expect to lose 75% of the original revenue he made from me and anyone else who feels like I do.

I'd go so far as to say if you play this game for jobs, combat, questing or story at this point, it comes across as a free to play to game.
