Nothing to do? Man I wish I had that problem. Then again I’m a prisoner of my own making since trying to to grind out potd to get necromancer title, I have a huge to do list AFTER I get that damn title. Any day now I can be done with potd and play the rest of the game lol 🙁
I play a lot of other games instead of just focusing on ffxiv, even though ffxiv is my main game. I enjoy KoF, SF, Monster Hunter, some smash with family. Even though ffxiv is an mmo, it doesn't feel like an mmo. It doesn't feel like it has to be the sole focus of your attention. You can get what you want and wait for new content you want to try to come out. It's just very unfortunate that people can't tell when they have been conditioned to okay bad habits. It's right there next to gambling and family abuse. Just because it's something you did for a long time doesn't mean it's healthy to continue doing that. I'm not talking WoW, but the environment that old school MMO's had. To be the sole focus of your attention and punishing the customer for deciding to do something else.
I quit playing FF14 for the opposite reason. I have too much to do there. It's overwhelming to me and I only get to play for a short time each day. I've been checking out Overwatch 2 (I used to play OW1 a few years ago.) and some older ARPG's like Titan Quest because I can get a full and satisfying experience in my short play time.
I am taking a small break myself from FFXIV, let my brain take a break and play other games, there's actually quite a bit I want to get done in XIV still, but I know if I push and make myself I'll end up burning myself out, once I start getting a little FF fatigue I step away from the game and jump into something new or go back to one of my old favorites and replay and or jump back in, currently I'm giving Fallout 76 a try and honestly I am having a good time lol.
seriously, these "influencers" need to stop making overly dramatic announcements of "I am quitting the game" and that "quitting" should be in air quotes, because they aren't quitting. And the audience needs to stop fueling these creators' egos and implanting in themselves that "there is nothing to do in 14" when you haven't even done the majority of it…
I am taking a break from FFXIV, because I want to play pokemon, I may want to finish Octopath/Triangle/other games, and the shitty reason: I have a mobage I play that needs my attention constantly for a good chunk of my time (which SUUUUUCKS).
Since starting playing FFXIV in 2015 I once again "quit". Quit is a nasty word, I mean "take a break". The mentality of having to stick with one MMO/game and only that one, is a terrible mentality that people should let go of. Play when it's fun, take a break when it's not, come back when it's fun again.
It is so simple, and while human behavior s complicated, I do not understand why we (as a collective of 'gamers') focus on when 4 people quit a game.
My personal opinion is that lots of these streamers jumped on the 'WoW is dead, FFXIV is future' bandwagon, but now that Dragonflight is coming out and is getting some decent reviews, I think the whole 'there is nothing to do' is just an excuse to return to WoW and to get views. Just say 'there is nothing more I want to do in FFXIV at the moment, so I'm going to take a break and spend some time with WoW'.
Somehow I haven’t taken a break. Maybe if I was a better player and cleared shit faster haha. But even then I’ve entered the RP night scene community and it’s a blast!! Quitters gone quit, real ones get isekai’d lmao
Stop it ff14 is boring and lame there's nothing but bs. in ff14 relic weapon is lame. gear in 14 is lame there is nothing but story and thy make excuses about blue mage. because its a real job unlike the others that's why thy put bs spells on blue to keep it out of content its all facts. but ppl with less skill and less of a brain. wouldn't see it because they hate skilled players thats also a fact. when thy see skilled ppl they call us no lifes. because we know how to play and think. i try my best to help others. Some ppl you just can't help. They think housing is good getting mouths all of this is also bs. They need real stuff over all the bs so u fake mmorpg gamers thank you for messing thinks up.
I think thats is why you cant be burned out by FF14 there is not an infinite power progression sistem in the game. Yes a lot of Hardcore players will drop out, but thats why the game is growing, as soon the game has more content, most of them will comeback. Finishing a game is fine there is nothing wrong with that
Savix already moved to Lost Ark before going back to WoW.🙂
Honestly, I don't think it's any more complicated than FFXIV being in a content lull and WoW coming out with an expansion that actually could be good (which hasn't been a given in a while). A lot of people are looking forward to seeing if Blizzard can deliver a great expansion, and Savix has more than a decade invested in WoW.
FFXIV is a unique beast. Between expansions and patches, the player base tends to migrate off to try other games. Hell, Yoshi-P encourages it. You have some people that stick around to reclear and just generally hang, but generally the streamers give other games a look, or even play other Final Fantasy games. Just look at how streaming viewership blows up for the Live Letter.
They may play other games, but they almost always come back. That's why XIV has grown despite never being a huge streaming game.
I’ll be taking a break myself in February cus Hogwarts Legacy will be dropping. Thank goodness the 6.3 is set for January so I won’t miss anything. Once I’m done attending magic school in Scotland I’ll be back. lol
lol I have no idea who that is and I played wow for 14 years. all these quitters only have one thing in common – I don't know who they are. 🤔 I guess I don't move in "parsing and minmax" circles but more the "I play the games content to the fullest and love it" circles.
Though I'm a new FFXIV player (just bought the complete game) I think it's ok if people leave and take breaks. But I think we have to understand that the people we're talking about are streamers. Me, as an average non-streamer player, I'm totally ok with doing some casual activities during a "content drought" on any MMORPG I've played, maybe some dailies, maybe doing some social activities with friends and then probably after an hour or two, I move on to another game and then come back the next day and so on. For what I understand, streamers do need to feed their channels with constant, new and entertaining content for their viewers, so it's understandable that if you just turn on your stream, do dailies and then after an hour you logout, a lot of people would get bored of watching you. I think Zepla has talked about this, regarding how hard it is to keep doing content for FFXIV when the game it's on a very low content-wise period because it feels like there is literally nothing to either do or talk about that hasn't been done or said previously and that can cause your audience to get bored of watching you and obviously cause your channel to shrink, so I think from a content creator perspective, I think it's ok if you play some other games to keep your audience interested. For example as a non-streamer person I'm currently playing Destiny 2, Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV. So for example this week Destiny 2 started a new community event that involves doing the same activities we've been doing the past months, so I logged in, made my "homework" (dailies/weeklies) and then after 2 hours of doing that some friends asked me if I wanted to run some Fractals on GW2, so I stopped playing D2 for the rest of the day and got into GW2 to play with my friends for another couple of hours, and then, after dinner and to chill for the rest of the night before going to bed, I logged into FFXIV to continue my adventures on the MSQ.
"There is nothing to do" is just misleading phrasing, honestly. Whether the intent is clickbaiting, or they're too muddied by the expectations for MMORPGs to NOT respect the time you invest into it, or something else, almost every case what most of these people REALLY mean is "There is nothing in this game that I currently want to do." Which is fine. Playing the card of 'lol, dead game, nothing to do, empty content' is just disingenuous IMO. That's kinda always been my take, honestly, so I'm kinda glad that none of this is surprising to me. And in fact, it's making me laugh quite a bit.
A lot of WoW content creators who joined the hype exodus just came to take a vacation in FFXIV. They came, enjoyed the sites they wanted to see, and once their home got better, they left to go back to what's familiar, to what they wanted all along. FFXIV will always be there for them if they ever want to come back, but the truth is that they love the entrapments of WoW and though they complained about it before, ultimately they just wanted more of the same and Dragonflight provided the perfect excuse for them to crawl back. Maybe the "there's nothing to do" is just the perfect and covenient excuse they needed to go back to their abusive lover. It's compounded also by the number of them still obsessed with classic. They never wanted to leave, they just wanted something shiny to distract them for a while. Honestly, I wish them luck and hope they have fun in their new endeavors. My only gripe is the fallacy of the "FFXIV has no content" complaint. There's plenty to do, it's just nothing that YOU want to do. The two are not the same and people should not be misimformed about that.
So thats why there are a lot of savix reaction videos lately which have nothing to do with XIV when you search for XIV videos, he is trying to get ff players to watch him watching youtube videos.
subscribe so i can quit next

You all know they were just riding the hype wave.

Who is savix? I don't think it's right to call these people FFXIV content creators. Call me when Mr happy or Meoni quits.

FFXIV existed before WoW Andies, it will exist after. They can do whatever they want.
I just find it funny how it appears some of these people have forever sewn their D's into the inside of Blizzards asshole.
They keep it inserted no matter how much "shit" comes out.
Savix already moved to Lost Ark before going back to WoW.🙂

also this is a feature of the game. to have the ability to take breaks and not feel like you have to stay on the grind wheel

At the end of the day, these people are farming clicks and I'm gonna keep playing cause I don't give a fuck what these people do
I think Yoshi-P is actively working against high end unlimited grinds and is trying to reprogram the minds of these players with unhealthy playstyle.
Remember the purpose of Island Sanctuary was to help Japanese players to relax and not min-max every little aspect of the game.
Glavix, maby you should make a video about Yoshi-P's "impossible" mission to convert these players with unhealthy habits to appreciate casual content?
Because that's the root cause a lot of WoW refugees now are leaving, because they have an addiction from what you have explained in this video.
Some people really enjoy the constant power gain loop, I don't get it myself.
