Here are the **top 5 reasons some people choose *not* to play Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV):**
### 1. **Time Commitment**
FFXIV is a *massive* MMO with hours of main story quests, side content, crafting, and endgame. Progression and gearing often require grinding, making it tough for casual players or those with limited free time.
---
### 2. **Subscription Model**
Unlike some MMOs, FFXIV requires a monthly subscription fee on top of buying the game expansions. For players used to free-to-play or one-time purchase games, this ongoing cost can be a dealbreaker.
---
### 3. **Slow Early Game and Story Pacing**
The game’s early story is long and deliberate, which some find boring or slow. If you prefer fast-paced gameplay or immediate action, the pacing might feel frustrating.
---
### 4. **Community Drama and Social Pressure**
While many find the FFXIV community welcoming, it can also be toxic or clique-heavy, especially in popular servers. Pressure to perform well in raids, ERP culture, or drama (like what’s seen on /xivg/) can be off-putting.
---
### 5. **Repetitive Gameplay and Grind**
Endgame content involves repeated dungeon runs, raids, and daily/weekly tasks that some players find tedious or uninspired after a while.

Why do you need to treat these threads as an extension of xivg or whatever discord you came from? Nobody here wants to read your disgusting roleplay posts, you fucking degenerate. You aren't here to have an actual conversation about this game, you just want subject everyone else here to your disgusting fetishes. The difference is those other game threads actually talk about their respective games and weirdos like you actually get banned. The only reason you're even here is because you play races that literally no sane or normal person finds attractive yet you do and can't stop expressing how much you goon to them so xivg cast you out. Instead of forcing us here on /v/ to deal with your faggotry how about you take it to a discord or over to /trash/ so the rest of us can actually talk about the gand in peace?
