It's more complicated than that.
I really don't think the game is, at its core, as interesting or deep as XI; I think that's by design, because it's meant to appeal to a more casual player who isn't going to bust out Excel to maximize DPS, or level 12 different subjobs. While I'm the model of a casual player these days, I still hate thinking like one.
The vertical gear treadmill is so obnoxious. I despise the model, at its core architecture. XI started doing some of this at the end, too, but there's still a permanence to some gear (some of the Delve I gear is still relevant! What from 2.1 still matters?). This in a way helps me, because it means if I get the itch and come back, it'll be less work to catch up, but it also means there isn't as much impetus to stay subscribed the whole time, especially if I'm not really feeling it.
Honestly, if I could move to Exodus without hurting feelings, maybe? Half the reason I went back to XI was to hang out in the charred wreckage of TToF. But I've got enough RL friends on Hyperion still, who'd be pretty upset that I don't like the game enough to play with them, but I did like it enough to shift and play elsewhere. I don't like any game enough to deal with that.

I have to grind CNJ up to 17 or 18 so I can continue the storyline in FFXIV because my MRD and GLA are 20.

Oh, lame. You can't log in to the Lodestone without an active account? I wanted to register my Exodus character to post with!
Die in multiple fires, SE. I won't miss you when I'm gone.

You are besmirching George Prime lashing out in such a manner!

Georg Prime was a badass who took no crap from anyone. What makes you think he'd tolerate subpar customer service?

He would chuckle at it and go seclude himself on the mountain pass !

ROOOKS, just make an alt like I did, everyone is happy.... And, Stepth will make you gear!

Inside joke. I was mad there's no BLU in 14, Stepth said he would make me some gear and dye it blue, Aery intervened and changed the dye to pink. Whenever I go afk, I come back to a bunch of guys creeping out on me...
FRIENDS LIKE THESE, RIGHT!?

Why they gotta know?
Ditch them like some warm cold cuts and delete them off your flist before you server hop.
I don't know how flists work in FFXIV, but I know lAery uses them to stalk me somehow.

Come then, Lenus.
Exodus is currently Rayna-free.

I mean you're not playing with them now anyways so why would it even matter if you want to go hang out with some other people for a bit.
Everyone gets tired of Byrth pretty quick anyways :)

It was a pretty sad affair. Trying to clear T1 in two pieces of darklight gear, 3 people on TS and failing spectacularly!

Hello FFXIAHers,
Artemas is recruiting members for TTOF, a serious linkshell that does serious events like Einherjar, Limbus, Dynamis, and Abyssea. He is not quite as verbose as I and asked that I make this thread to recruit people.
So seriously, here's what we do:
Sunday - Solo -> Salvage v2 -> Einherjar
Monday - Solo -> Legion -> Salvage v2
Tuesday - Solo -> Limbus (Alliance) -> Salvage v2
Wednesday - Solo -> Legion -> Salvage v2
Thursday - Solo -> Einherjar -> Salvage v2
Friday - Solo -> YPYD Dynamis runs (often ADL)
Saturday - Solo -> Limbus (Alliance) -> Abyssea
A few notes:
* Group events seriously start at 8PM EST.
* We do everything in a full alliance and first-come-first-served. Show up early if you want to go!
* "Solo" above just indicates unscheduled time. If you seriously want to, it can be something like Limbus coin farming, doing Salvage runs if you can't make a later time (we have mules to DC for you), Dynamis pop set building/farming, and so on. It doesn't have to be solo of course, it just means that we aren't responsible for what you're doing.
Contact member in game: Artemas
(Seriously don't send me tells. I'm not allowed to pearl anyone and Artemas doesn't trust my opinion on people!)
We are at least this Serious.
tl;dr= we aren't recruiting.
