The Formula won't change

[Kohashi]

unfortunately, it has not evolved, it has devolved, no matter how much you try to spin this in your favor, it now has less variation, not more. You cannot deny that in an mmorpg, a broad variety of different content that attracts all manners of players is healthy for the games population and thus the bottom line for the company. Hells, i don't play Ultimates, and I retired from Savages, but I don't want SqEx to stop doing that content because it attracts players and it brings raiders joy.

And yes, companies only understand money. Remind me again why Yoshi-P asked players not to retire from the game because long lived content will come in the future? Most likely not because players may have done what you say and unsubscribed/voiced their reasons for doing so, no?

That's your take on it, which is fair and you have the right to feel that way. I, on the other hand, don't share it nor do I see FF14 as my life purpose or mission.

If I don't find enjoyment here. I find it somewhere else. Nobody and nothing keeps me tied to this game and if I don't have a good time I stop playing. I don't enjoy wallowing in self-inflicted misery, not when there are so many better options. Perhaps not all in 1 place, but then again, time is def. not a commodity I have in abundance anyway.

Yoshi-P is a representative of SQE and by definition, he has the company's interests at heart and not yours. You should have your best interests and you should not expect somebody else to represent you.
