This is kind of out of left field but I just feel like saying it - I sincerely wish if, by the low odds any Cover staff read this post, dudes/dudettes: I know what it's like. I was a hardcore daily raider in vanilla/BC WoW from about 05-08. Game fucking completely controlled my life, I stopped really-caring about most things, and absolutely led my waking non-gaming life as just a facade to keep people off my back, while I really treated all non-gaming time as just a break time to think about the game. I abandoned IRL friendships and relationships over it. My IRL friends were just my WoW friends, at least while they still played, and when they stopped they immediately fell out of my circle of people worth talking to. I worked part time just to put on an air of caring, went to school just to put on an air of caring - but I didn't. I only really started caring about my life again when I stopped playing. Please consider winding down your play time and eventually gracefully exiting XIV, your jobs are too important to too many to hide away in that world from.
