Huh? What happened to FFXIV?

Yep, it’s official: FFXIV won. I mean, have you seen the state of retail? Exactly. Besides, FFXIV is the only MMO that lets you play Silksong because it respects your time. We like this, I like this, you like this, we all like Silksong, and FFXIV is the best MMO for that.

So considering that if you don’t use plugins you need to go play Albion (source: >>534322243), and also considering that most people are using plugins right now, shouldn’t that worsen the player numbers even more? And we don’t want that, right? So what should we do? Should we keep vanilla FFXIV in the background while playing Albion so at least we help with the player numbers?
