What is the reason you're still subbed?

[alibutterfly]

1.) FFXIV is my "digital home," in my mind.
2.) My character is my digital self, despite having existed in other forms in other games (even prior to her mi'qote incarnation, here). This is canon Aniramil, now.
3.) I will part with my medium house in Shirogane over my dead body.
4.) I don't want to fall behind on the high tomestone gear treadmill.
5.) The sum total of feelings that this game has made me feel over the years (though basically none of those feels have come in Dawntrail).

But to be honest, I am SO EXTREMELY BORED and have a hard time convincing myself to even log in to cap my high tomestones, most days. I also have historically run either the 8-man normal raid content or the alliance raid content each week to get drops before the loot lock is lifted, but Jeuno right now is just... ugh. It's not fun to do AND the gear is not aesthetically pleasing, so I basically have to force myself into that each week as well.

Main takeaway from this thread is SE is never gonna give us instanced hou$ing.

Legacy players only pay $10/month sub, so I might as well. /s

(Pay no attention to the 10 retainers and companion app subscription I also have.)

More seriously... I'm still subbed because I'm still doing stuff in the game. There are half a dozen mini games to play when MSQ is over. Once I get all my jobs to 100, I'll probably tackle BLU again since I never finished Masked Carnival. Get it to 80 and get the handful of spells I'm still missing. I've been having fun catching up on missing mounts in older content as well. Just missing Diamond gwib... I'll get it soon! SOON!

I mostly keep playing cause I left content undone I mean I barely even do roulettes anymore. I'll unsub when/if the game fails to be interesting.

- FC workshop.
- MGP farm.
- Fishing.

Because I'm still enjoying the game. I find it worth the monthly sub for me. I have nitpicks or things I wish were different. I give feedback where I can. But I just still like logging in and doing things in the game. I have no averse feelings towards anyone who is unhappy, so long as they can give their viewpoint without insulting others who don't share their issues.

And if you're not why did you unsub?

What was or will be your snapping point. What needs to happen for you? Have you cut your sub money back? What steps are you taking? What is your motivation.

For me personally it's all on the next patch and if any of the following happens in succession I'm gone

* cosmic doesn't drop on patch
* savages are unnecessary difficult or unbalanced
* msq is a disaster like 7.1
* trial is boaring and not fun to farm
* shades triangle and is a slog fest with no interesting story and just a mindless painful grind like eureka
* no statement is made regarding dissatisfaction with content release schedule

I enjoyed the first 3 years on this game... the 7 that came after... not so much...
All these years I've been subbing without actually playing much simply because I thought that if I supported SE, they would eventually fix things or give us the things I wanted and kept begging for on the forums...
That sadly didn't really happen so nowadays I only just sub to hook up with people I like... but thats about it.. the game today feels bland to me.. it's always the same type of content we keep getting... nothing original.
I mean.. even the quests don't even have voices... on elder scrolls you don't pay sub and still every NPC has a voice which makes it feel more immersive... but they have the mistake of not paying enough attention to the models which seem low quality compared to the standalone version of the game.

Regardless to say... the game has potential but I keep hearing "spaghetti code" as an excuse meaning it might be time for SE to ditch this version of the game and give us a new version that allows so much more that this game doesn't...

Would be nice to build a house and people could see inside by looking through the window while being on the outside of the house...
Still... I should prolly not think out loud because it feels no one is listening anyway... I think it's turned into a situation where shareholders have become more important then the customer meaning they no longer want my money and I would be stupid to keep paying while getting nothing in return next to something I'm already fed up with, so I might quit the game at this rate.

RP and the community I'm running, mostly.

[Ardeth]

I was for that ugly pvp fomo set. I got it so I can unsubscribe now. I should have enough time to grab the emote so I don't have to pay for it later.

But as a casual player, there is absolutely nothing to do. The live letter is soon, but we won't see anything from it till March, so why waste the money on a dead game for me? Easy choice.

Also, this community has gotten more anti-social and selfish lately, and it's honestly tiresome to deal with. I want to do a roulette and not get rescue yanked because I lost half a second on the pull. Now I have to report you and blacklist you. It's tiresome.

[Mistress_Irika]

Roleplaying community is the only thing that's keeping me subbed. Otherwise, I would have left after finishing Endwalker over pvp of all things.

Despite this, I'm still finding things to do with my time like jump puzzles and Deep dungeons. Recently, I decided to try and solo Sastasha without using a healer or a tank with everything synced. I may attempt this with the other dungeons if I can pass Sastasha. For the time being, I'm content.
