It should not be that hard to migrate character data to the new system. People that play want to keep playing. I log in and fish in my spare time, or level some jobs, ie make progress in the game. That is completely pointless if you're just going to wipe it. It's like playing FF1 half way through, then the battery in your cartridge dies and you have to start over.

There has to be another way.
Try stepping outside of your house and find another hobby in the meantime or use this time to catch up on some movies or TV shows that you've neglected due to playing too much FFXIV. If you don't want to leave the house, there are plenty of other online games that you can play temporarily to keep you occupied.
