Too bad XIV is a horrible MMO in general. There's no social aspect and the worlds are dead. When you do meet people, they're just their to meet their dailies or do their dungeon of the day. The social interaction is at late game and by then you either have a clique/FC or you don't.
When I did play the game, I did have fun doing the extra stuff, but I did realize I was enjoying it by myself (even though I had friends who were already late-game geared and would hop-in once in a while). I always have and will enjoy tanking and healing, but the realization is that I'm paying to play an online game for a story that felt just okay to me (I stopped at the beginning of Shadowbringers).
Also I can't quite put my finger on it, but XIV has some sort of... toxic positivity or something? And ne last nit-pick is that there are no "ugly" characters. Everyone is beautiful unless it's an opposing faction. Which fits to the end game that everything is beautiful and mounts (typical MMO stuff nowindays).
