Now here's a toxic take - "Only the doomsayers on this forum ever cared about the game. None of the many people who are still having a blast playing the game ever really cared, because they're...having fun..." What? Such a closed-minded approach to claim only people who think like you actually care, and anyone with a different opinion must not...

No commitment to a direction,
There's a very clear commitment to a direction; it just happens to be one you don't like. Which is okay! Nothing says you have to like it, but that doesn't mean we can just deny it exists.

A corrupted game is less likely to be become good again than it is likely for a far better competitor learning from its mistakes eventually to rise up.
Very true. We'll disagree on seeing FFXIV as "corrupted," but a very true statement nonetheless.

I'm looking at other new MMOs now more than FF14. Eventually one of them will do everything 14 did but better.
I'll be the realist here. That's not going to happen. The age of MMO's is long past. I highly doubt we're going to see another MMO that will rival WoW and FFXIV.
