(using throwaway account for personal reasons, also I hope this is allowed because its arguably not specific to XIV but I could use some advice)
Hey /r/ffxiv,
I've been a player of XIV since patch 2.3 with an unbroken subscription the entire time. I've done basically everything the game has to offer including all three ultimate fights and most things that are optional. I've all jobs and classes at 80, I've a larg house, I've plenty of gear and items, over 100m gil. I basically have no reason to play.
But... I do. I can't stop. I log in every day to the point I'll just be standing around at my house or some other random location. I don't have plans, sometimes I'll tag along for roulettes with others just to have something to do and even then often I'm already tome capped and since all jobs are 80, get no exp.
I get frustrated when I can't be part of things. My relationship with another player fell apart because I wanted things in XIV that should ultimately have been irrelevant between us.
I've started levelling alts on other servers. I've just this hunger and desperation to play XIV even if I don't understand why. I just can't stop myself. For the longest time I justified not quitting cos I'd lose my personal house but now even when I just don't care for it and I'm considering releasing it, I still just can't stop.
Every day I wake up and log in and either level an alt so it feels like I have purpose, or I just do basically nothing. It's wrecked my life in so many ways but I cannot find it in me to just stop. I've many other games, many other distractions and I've wanted to do things like learn a language or lose weight yet I never can bring myself to do so, because I can't stop playing XIV. My cleanliness and hygiene have been impacted and through work and relationship stress my life has essentially flatlined.
I need help. I need to stop but I just can't pull myself away. I can't get motivation to do anything else and if I try my focus lasts all of a few hours at absolute most before I'm back in XIV.
Again, I've no idea if this goes against sub rules, but I'm really hoping a discussion can help me understand things and get advice.
I love the community, but I don't love myself enough.
Thanks.
