I think you're right, but I'm not resubbing until they take seriously the feedback and put someone who knows how to write back in charge of the MSQ. I can't feel investment to the game without that core foundation which was the story.
I only did Eureka and BA because I wanted to know every little piece of Krile lore and complete her story.
If It wasn't for that I wouldn't have done it, same with a lot of other side content if it's connected to the MSQ I did it or the MSQ characters.
Another example was Blue mage I thought it was going to have some connection to Tural so I levelled up my Blue before DT during EW drought, and it was locked away in the fisher quest line.
I did Criterion Aloalo because Banri Oda recommended doing that in preparation for Dawntrail, I did all 12 routes just to get all the lore and it was interesting, I did it with my brother we played it together and it was fun, but without the recommendation and motivation of the MSQ I wouldn't have done it.
I don't do 'content' for 'content' sake, FFXIV gameplay isn't that interesting on it's own, there are other games I can and do play that are better from a gameplay stand point, what kept me in FFXIV was the emotional narrative investment because of the story.
Dawntrail broke that and it hasn't won me back not even remotely yet, I want a reason to resub so far the game hasn't given it to me.
