What makes you log in everyday?

Hunts, raiding, partaking in tragic DF runs of Titan EX/T5, and working towards items.

My FC is more into crafting and casual instances than I am, but they're nice to be around too.

Gardening.

It used to be for fun back in 1.0. I had a lot of good friends I played with because the game encouraged you to work or party up with others. I liked that it was different and better looking than XI.

In 1.23 it was also for fun, I had a blast! I tried to get everything done that I could do before the servers went down.

For 2.0, what kept me logging in was the fresh new game smell - and wanting to conquer the game as quickly as possible. 2.0 was a new game, but still had that nostalgic feel to it, and I liked exploring the new world and seeing new sights. I also had an amazing group I moved with from 1.0 and had a lot of fun.

When 2.1 came out, it was around the prime of ARR for me. My static and FC had cleared coils by then, and we were all maxing out our BiS's and doing primals. Things were a bit grindy, but not too much.

Come 2.2 I was questioning my logging in. Content seemed very repetitive or rehashes of previous content. The static I was in was questioning breaking up because people were bored. Alot of people in my FC at the time would only log in on reset day, and that's it. They eventually stopped logging in altogether. The main group in the FC i joined 2.0 with became toxic and elitist buttholes and most of the people I knew from 1.0 were nowhere to be found.

When 2.3 hit, I was pretty exhausted. The game feels like an uphill climb in every regard. Every new piece of content is tedious and unrewarding for the time invested. I have been left to PF groups for coil and have no static. Only a handful of people I know from 1.0 remain. I have been keeping myself busy with Novus and Nexus as of late, and just not my Nexus bow not long ago...but I'm not really having fun anymore. I'm tired of grinding, tired of fates and also primals. I am also not looking forward to 2.4 because the DF ques are going to be terrible!

I guess the thing that keeps me logging in is the nostalgia I had for 1.0 and the experience I had in the few years the game was up. I like 2.0 in a lot of ways, but they found a way to make you grind every piece of content, until you hate it.

Gardening, mining, fishing, botany..ing?

Right now, that varies from day to day, and I'm starting to lose motivation. Not that I hate the game. I don't, I love this game very much. But just losing the gumption to login every day.

But the one thing motivating me to login as frequently as I can is my FC. I'm not an FC leader or even an officer. But I'm a part of an RP FC that really seems to respect me in a way that a lot of FCs and guilds in other games never have before. It makes me feel needed, as cheesy as that sounds, and I've never really felt that before.

I started with the PS4 and read early on that the end-game could be very grindy and the demand for later dungeons included something called 'team speak'.

I decided to play it safe I would develop my support jobs more than my main class and ease into end-game without getting burnt out and it has worked out well.

I log in every day to continue this strategy and keep it fun and casual. Desynthesis threatens that utopia...but I can still start fishing ;)

GC/Beast Tribe supply/provision/deliverance missions, Roulette EX with my friends, level up my other classes.

Logging :) at least as the game refers to it.

Just soldiery daily that's it, I try stick around longer but it's the wait cues that makes me logout.

This is really upsetting to hear. I can only hope that the game becomes a brighter experience for you down the road, before it gets too much to bear. I didn't play much at all of 1.X but I can certainly see that there were some merits to the old system that appealed to a group of players.

My friends, My character, The fun I have when playing FF with my BF, Momentary boredom in that game called RL. < my four reasons. ;o

My Friends
My FC members
My LS Buddys
My own Character (love it)
The Dungeons
Finishing my Nexus (soon TM)
Finishing all my classes to 50 (3Dps left)
Finishing my 2 remaining gatherers (BTN & FSH)
The Hunt ....I guess
Garthening
My Private House
My FC mansion
Coil2
Hildibrand quests (didn't do the 2.3 ones)
Mogle Postal Quests (didn't do them yet)
Etc...(other stuff)

I like the game, having a blast ! Can't wait till 2.4 and Ninja to come !

:D

I log in most days, generally to get my dailies done and manage what amount of progression I can manage by myself, though DF. Also leveling up my alt classes and getting those Atmas for my monk. (so far, been pretty lucky, but for how long?!) Most of my FC hasn't been logging in as of late but I guess that means more garden for me, lol

So mostly.... fun and/or profit. ;p

Habit.

Right now, I'm logging in out of habit.

I've had an MMO to play for the past 9 years. First with FFXI, then switched over to FFXIV. When 1.0 went offline, I went back to 11, but, with the latest expansion, and the switch to item levels in 11, it just was no longer for me. So, I came back to 14 at 2.0.

Each patch I was eagerly "looking forward to it" to see how the game would be fleshed out. Turns out, they really weren't fleshing anything out, or adding any depth. They're just upping the item level and adding more shiniez with each patch.

I'm letting my sub run out. Once it's gone, I'm done. Housing is a farce, glamour system is stupid, a sleeping robe is harder to get than BiS gear.

Yet, truly, for me, the most heinous thing about this game is that it's a FINAL FANTASY game, and I couldn't care less about the current 'story' because no one has any personality and nothing has any depth.

Habit, I'm down to 'habit' as the reason why I'm still here :/

10 days and Fantasy Life comes out on the 3DS. That's where I'll be from now on. Logging in to a game out of habit is just stupid and I don't want to do it anymore.

I don't.
/10.

I haven't been, to be honest. I've pretty much exhausted all options that I've wanted to explore. Coils doesn't particularly interest me, I don't really enjoy the slog to get the crafting classes up high enough to do things...I logged on today just to see if I could get the spark back, and nah. I've just got no energy to play. Which is a shame, I really dig the atmosphere and I like the story, but past that I'm just numb to the entire experience. Today was the first day I've logged in for...I don't know, two months? It's just not there for me anymore. Which is a shame, they have some cool stuff in the pipeline but I just feel like I'll exhaust that option too soon as well. But I enjoyed the time I had, it's just not fun for me these days. I like checking on here every so often to see what's going on, heh.

My FC because there's always something to do with them :) and since I'm a relatively new player I still have loads of duties :p also, the guilt of not maximizing the sub I paid for lol

Looking for friends I know Ill never have living here in Linden, even though my luck may not be any better. My slow yet steady gear progression I guess?

I still log in to water the plants in the garden, but with how work has been lately is is hard to find the time. It especially is tiresome to join a fail group to try and get Ramuh EX down when you don't really feel like playing but you want to get all EX primals down >.>. With not really enough time to concentrate on the smaller aspects, there is no time to set aside for a Second Coils group...

Morbid Motivation.

Well I don't log in everyday.

I log in every day for 5-6 weeks then take 3-4 weeks of 2-3 days per week for about 4 weeks.

I just got back from not logging in all the time. And I just got my 1st Alexanderite so what will keep me logging till I get burned out.

Pretty much my feelings as well.

I loved this game so much at launch, and it seems like every patch they release sucks more and more of the joy out of the game and injects misery and grind and absolutely nothing innovative and fresh.

So I log in out of habit..... but I've cancelled my auto renew and have been spending more and more time trying to find better things to do with my time than suffer through SE's laborious, repetitive gameplay that offers very little satisfaction anymore.

I'll likely finish getting my last 2 crafting classes to 50, just before 2.4 hits, and that might be a good time to call it done and move on, because I expect 2.4 to only be one more massive disappointment based on SE's track record to date.:(

Something to do with my wife.

my Roegadyn's ass is what gets me to log in every day.
whether he is wearing nothing or big booty shorts.
it is his sexy ass that tempts me back everyday.

just like back when i played FF11 it was my Galka's Tail
that got me to log on every day... mmm that hypnotic swaying
back and forth!~

Gils. try to make enough gils so hopefully one day i can afford a mansion.

O yesh, someone who thinks like me.

Friends. PvP. Gil. Mounts. Decorating my private house.

It also use to be for loot drops from coil but I have everything I want from there now. I even have the drops I wanted purely for vanity. I guess RNG loves me right now(which wasn't the case not too long ago). Gear wise, all I need is the healing ring from Ramuh and my SCH will be BiS.

I don't even know why I log in. Getting more and more frustrated with each expansion. I guess I log in because it's better than TV.

Pretty much spamming DFs and soldiery gathering o_o But mostly DF spamming for the hell of it and for the gil (when there's an Adventurer in Need associated with that roulette) xD;

Loneliness. 'u';

Nothing at all. I let my sub run out weeks ago. Depending on how 2.4 is treated, I may or may not return. I used to look forward to new patches, but now? No... just the same patch, but with something a little different.

• 2.2: Three new dungeons. Myth is uncapped and Philosophy is removed. Lockouts in First Coil and Labyrinth of the Ancients is removed. New Primals. New Trial from Hildibrand.

• 2.4: Three new dungeons. Soldiery is uncapped and Myth is removed. Lockouts in Second Coil and Sycus Tower is removed. New Primals. New Trial from Hildibrand. New Class/Job. Leviathan and Moggle Mog EX no longer required to unlock Ramuh EX.

Expert Roulette for my daily Mysterious Map

Must make more gil. Two mansions are not enough.

Kind of sad someone bought the third mansion in my ward, though...

Nothing. Same patch , rehashed 2.2. I let my sub run out. It will take a lot to bring me back.

Vengeance.

being an fc leader...

Hm some guys cant read :o
Threads name is "what makes you log in everyday" and not "whats the reason why you dont log in".

I love this game and i have many things to do, why i log in? Cause i have fun playing it.

I cant log-in because i never log-out, unless my internet goes down while sleeping or there are maintenance. :P

"Nothing at all" is a valid response, though o:

There's always something new to do. This past week, I've been getting all my DoH i70 tools. A few weeks before that, I reached my goal of PVP rank 40. I'm still working on leveling desynthesis, getting relics for all my classes...there's just so much to do!
