Ultimate demise of 14?

[KageTokage]

I really don't think the game is at risk of dying any time soon but it does feel like it's become rather stagnant due to the lack of innovation when it comes to core gameplay and I don't have much confidence the later patches are going to address that.

To me, it just sound FFXIV arriving at it ''WoD/Legion era'' if we compare it to WoW. It still doing good but people start pointing out issues, that if they ain't fixed and no change is made, will eventually hit the game hard. And SE don't really have the same stability Activision Blizzard had, money wise.

Honestly I feel SE could always experiment with new mechanics/duties gosh even a new dungeon formula; I mean Arena Net did Living world and that worked for a time but they found that they could not produce new maps and content at a fast enough pace so they are trying FFXIV route now that did not 100% work for the previous expac so they are trying new things now.

They did not sacrifice story but they did for instance in the newest patch releasing next week at player housing and removed map meta events replacing it to the original world boss to test, I feel SE pushed the envelope already with the story here if they added more dungeon's or trials or even a new type of duty like solo duty or something it would have had a much more positive impact as usually new features are praised.
