I'm one of returning players here. Usually never absent whenever free login campaign occurs. Even usually taking break from FF14 just to play this.

Anyways, I don't know much about you guys, but I'm still enjoying the game so far. Yes, my gear are somewhat bit of lacking. Averagely i115 from skirmish I've done way back then before stop subbing, only one i119 on my Rune Fencer body AF. I already finished all expansion story content and even Rhapsodies back then, with help ofc. Even with all that, there's still like tons of stuff to do in this game which I really wanna. And I'm still enjoying it despite the limitation of newer battle content.

Tried Ambuscade the other day with LS mate, and it was fairly manageable. Would love to spam it, but like I say, still has many contents to do. But so far, I already felt that progress in this game has been quite fast, especially thanks to rhapsodies KI that grants numerous bonuses. The other day, I'm farming mats for coalition turn ins, and I realize my merit already shooting way too fast. Even already capped 40 merit that quick, I have to run to goblin @ Reisenjima just to deposit all of them since I have no idea what I need them for. Yes, I do heard about those HM version of those old battle which need KI from merits, but I'm not in rush for it since like I said, merit is super fast building up on me. I'm even doing this on MNK or THF that's kinda a bit undergeared for today standard, but it's still get the job done fast.

Trust system has been great help on me for running quick though contents. And I even got the chance to get the new mount system, which even makes things even more faster to do. Not to mention whole loads of transport option like home points & survival guides which practically makes it super easy to get anywhere.

My only regret is that I can't really play more than one MMO due to time, my own stamina, & other stuff like RL. ATM, I'm spending my subs on FF14 instead, but I do wish to continue subbing some day, when time allows. I do realize lately that FF14 has become a bit boring, especially with me already have all my jobs/doh/dol capped, and mundanely doing weekly caps like tomestones/red scrips, but I guess FF14 are still way easier to play, unlike FF11 which needs more time dedication. But I would still love to play FF11 again whenever possible.
