I am a current FFXIV player. The game is making changes and for the better. One of the reasons I have stuck around is because I play with a good group of people and it is currently free, so why not. But the other reason is that SE is trying to make it better and admitted they did a crap job. How many other publishers or development studios have ever done that? Sure when they release it they claim the fixes is coming in a future patch that never comes just to grab at a few more subscribers before they belly up. But SE actually seems intent on making things right and even made it F2P while they do so. That's integrity and I, for one, support it.
