Is there a point in caring about the game?

I ask you, dear FF14 player, is there actually a point in caring about the game? Are the signs not clear? Do you wish to continue being exploited?

I've said it before, it's okay to fall out of love with a game. There hit a point in FFXI where I realized I wasn't having fun any more and I quit cold turkey. I think it was in the middle of Seekers of Adoulin. Yeah, I quit without ever finishing the story of that expansion, because I realized I wasn't having fun any more.

But I didn't tell everyone else that they had to quit FFXI. There are still people who played right on through, and continued to have fun, who are STILL PLAYING IT TO THIS DAY even though it's barely receiving any updates at all!

That's what baffles me. I moved on and found a different game to play (XIV.... and for a brief shining moment, Wildstar - RIP) and let those who were still enjoying XI do their thing.

That's what it means to stop caring - you stop interacting with the game, the community, and everything about it. No point any more. Done and dusted, you've moved on.

The fact that people are constantly making complaint posts here tells me ya'll DO still care. That's not a bad thing! But keep in mind that some of us are still having fun, and we're going to keep right on playing even if you don't think we ought to be.
