The game needs to open up

[Ath192]

So, basically, you're asking for a second 1.0 XD.

I guess. We really have to ask the following question. Who is the FFXIV formula serving better at this point? The players or the devs?

Lets be extremely honest here. It is in service of the devs more than the playerbase, it gives them stability and some metrics to works towards in their every day lives every year so everything is calm and they can farm a paycheck for years on end. This is GREAT for job stability. Its just bleeding into the game and its HELL OF BORING to experience in a game.

We come here to get away from the normal job life and daily chores. But it feels like we're trapped in someone else's digitized version of it at this point. NGL.
