Is the magic just gone for anyone? I think I've attempted to get back into XIV since EW .1 patch and I've struggled every single time. I don't think it's really any fault of the "game" itself but more the community around it.
All my friends are gone, online communities about this game are cancer. Even trying to talk in game has a lot of really weird people and not the fun weird type. Seeing how much there's left to grind and really nothing to look forward to doesn't help either. At least there's always that one naked old highlander dancing at ul'dah 24/7. Haha...
