I finally stepped away from leading the free company my FFXIV character's a part of, and managed it with no ill-will or hurt feelings. I've been burnt out on the game for at least a couple months, but my own tendencies to not want to impose on others and to feel like I have to do the 'chores' of running an FC kept me from passing the role off. But that's done now, and probably just in time. The new expansion looks like it will just amp up all the things I find frustrating about the game and it's writing.
