Too long to list, ill stop. And with all this said. I'll delete or keep my NSFW posts private as in respect for YoshiP and to not give him & the game's Image trouble, It's up to you guys wether you do the same or not, Ive known the community and they lack many thing, 1 being respect n consideration.

· Alot of important QoL (Quality of Life) are completely missing, like Housing system - allow items placed freely

·New Players struggle to engage with the game, even because the start os horrifyingly bad - way too slow and many people quit before they reach the point the game can start getting fun.

· Alot of Glam items that are meant to be on Glam Armourer are not capable to be put in there, for example PVP Battlepass (Rank 25) Glams, eating up your limited glamour space (I'm around 755 and its getting worse) They introduced a feature to put an entire set to consume only 1, but issue stands.

the immersion, a example allowing Helions hrothgars to use the Lost colors for example.
· Speaking of above, also how many missing colors for character customization, also how eye colors can look too bland/mild or fading out color, such as Hrothgar eyes - pre-DT they had more color.

· In lieu with said above, They also added some kind of "base" like for example Street Wear Cap, why's the cloth entirely covering the inside of the hat? I don't get it.
· Game always had poor customizations, always tied to the Immersion to the lore, but people deserve to express themselves out of-

· as Said above, implementations are poor - I love that we finally can wear hats, but their takes on hats is to literally stretch it forward, and barely by the sides for them to perfectly fit to Hrothgar heads, and somehow Viera's also affected despite having a human head.

· Way too many gears being a RE-USED model, Way too MANY Dungeon Gear that looks GOOD but cannot be DYED for whatever reason, the latest exception is Troian Gear that became dyeable in Dawntrail, and is a common gear, buyable from NPCs.
· They hate Hrothgar and Vieras, implementations always poor.

· The way they distribute dyes on Glamours are horrible, imagine a shirt for winter, just a shirt and the scarf, what direction they took on that one? is for second dye to dye a little metal attached to the scarf, instead of it dying the scarf - many Gear/Glam items are like this and its horrible.

· Housing System is a mess, eats alot of server resources apparently - how it also was a part of the reason they needed to expand the servers.
· Glamour Dresser is also a mess, and the more they update the game the less space you'll have, eventually you'll be left with nothing.

And they *don't* listen to Western players feedback, taking a huge part of the playerbase other than the original playerbase (aka Japanese players)
I'll post a list of the issues I have with the game to sum it up:

I love the game I really do, but I'm just... tired, Im struggling over and over to keep my motivation up for raiding, for doing content with friends but im reminded daily of the flaws left and right, all games have flaws sure. but FF14? those flaws are so darn vital.

They do not bother to invest on it, hire more people - less stricter schedules for the team (as i assume as such), FF14 has huge problems with Content draught, alot of false promises (I'll never forget 6.3 liveletter where we got a Face 3 Hrothgar having Face 2 hairstyle, it never became a reality)

With that said, main topic of the post? Yeah im taking a long break or "potentially" quitting the game, we'll see how it develops, if things get better or not.
SE being like any other company only care about Numbers, not improve their product (which FF14 makes the most of all in their list however)

please read this - it's very important anyone out there - if they love the game as much I do, I really recommend reading it - I knew YoshiP's stance in the matter, but this leaves his view more open and I beg everyone to respect his wishes.
