#WukLamatMustDie

The MSQ is the main attraction of the game. It was always sold as "an RPG first and an MMO second".
The MSQ in mandatory if you don't want to pay, and enormous prerequisite to attain endgame. The raid can even be see as part of the MSQ with all the story inside.
That's why now 90% of the game can be done solo.

You are just basically saying to a vast part of the playerbase "go play somthing else". Good for you, but I'm not sure FFXIV will survive a long time (or will still have the budget it has) with only what remain after this purge.

MMORPG is mostly what is next to it, MSQ is minor in comparison, else you would just stay subscribed when there is an expansion and at every major patch.

Well... it's the case you know ? Even Yoshi-P is conscious of that and talked about it multiple times. FFXIV doesn't have the stability of most MMORPG because of that, because it's not retaining the player with constant grinding.
You remove the MSQ and FFXIV crumble on itself, you remove anything else, or even multiples "anything" the game will still be ok.

You are delusional on how the MSQ is the spine of the game, and a divisive MSQ is an massive problem for Yoshi-P and his team.
