Can we please get SOMETHING TO DO ingame?

How much fun can you really have playing with a dead body? Poke it with a stick a few times and move on. I am losing any faith in them ever turning this game around. Greatest gaming dissapointment of the last 10 years, easily. Part of me still hopes it can, but that hope fades against the backdrop of games being released between now and whenever they release version 6000.2 sometime in 2015.

This pretty much sums it up.

1.20 please come soon! I've virtually stopped logging in!

Yup I'd especially like to get story content with cutscenes in the form of quests BEFORE 2013! Especially quest lines plz.

I have 2 lvl 50 and after people started requiring sentinel for Ifrit, i decided i was done with this game. I have no desire to level up more classes. Grinding exp is ok for maybe the first class i level, after that no thanks. Sadly that's all this game has, grinding. I don't mind "grinding" bosses as long as the fights are fun, I don't like mindlessly killing animals or beastmen for EXP.

So yeah, i have been taking my time as to try not to exhaust the current game, sadly it doesn't offer any fun ways of leveling, or endgame once you get there.

Anything!

You can play with yourself (fufufufufu)... or just help others in game ;D

Jokes aside (loooool), ahem! I don't know how long but it should be done already: When will there be low-level events like FFxi had (garrison for example). Don't need instances for THAT.

Gather a few players and play hide and seek (/names off, a piece of paper to hide your mini-map).
Emote wars (don't use a single word, only non-custom emotes, for X minutes. Try to have the most coherent conversation with someone).

etc. etc. etc.

These kind of comments really get on my nevers!
I don't even really have anything to even say except - GO DIE IN A FIRE with your user generated content (lol maybe not die but burn at least!)
If I want to create my own content I go do that somewhere else than in a game...

Luckily, I haven't ran out of content because I am extremely casual player BUT I can see how people would run out of content. My LS has people who have been playing FFXIV full time since the beginning. They have all jobs (even culinarian and fishing) 50 and they really don't have anything to do anymore.
I was actually thinking that once I get my conjurer to 50, I might create another character (just for fun) and play that to 50 on some jobs as well. I know it is a bit of a repeat but I actually like leveling and I like the idea of having two characters to choose from.

Really now? really? Im asking for something to do besides ranking up (which Im almost done leveling them all, except for crafting cuz they bore the hell out of me, only 2 fighting classes to go)

What Im asking for is some sort of minigames to keep me entertained. Killing stuff can only be so entertaining after a year and a half of the game -_-

The best thing that you'll probably get in the short term is the Achievement system when that gets implemented in 1.20. It'll be the closest thing to a built-in minigame that we have. Of course, the achievements will probably involve killing stuff so... =\

But, who knows! Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Get all the achievements in game. (Well, now it's just History log but wtver) I'm 600 entries and counting! :D

If i gotta pay 15$/ month to make up my own imaginary fun then there is something really wrong going on here.

Honestly i don't care how much we get in a patch... it could be nothing at all. I rather have them put most of their time and resources on 2.0 so that we won't be disappointed again but don't make us pay for nothing.

pvp yes plz. just a simple /duel option would give us something to do with our spare time.

Won't happen. Even if they considered it, the forums would be flooded with threads of FFXI lovers crying that the game is ruined for them.

Gotta wait for 2.0's PVP areas.

i know trust me i know. the niche market has been holding FF series back for a long time. i see a shenmue style end to this game also when the time comes. you rather grow or you get left behind. FF series has not grown at all only taking steps back.

A big FFA arena would be fun, but then again the servers suck so hard that you can't see more than 40 people at a time, and the lag in PVP would make me rage endlessly. Not to mention that melee have zero gap closers, so it'd be an automatic win for ranged. Oh, and there's no interrupts, so have fun stopping a mage from turreting and casting. On second thought, PVP in this game sounds pretty awful.

lol yea now that you mention it, the game sounds awful. but that don't stop me from having fun. don't realy want anything that would slow progress to 2.0 anyhow.

How about log off game and play cards w/ family and friends? I'm guilty of it too, but this request seems like there is some self-control issues within the OP. Go to casino irl, watch horse races irl, and bring friends. mfw

I am curious as to what type of achievement system they're putting in place. I wouldn't mind a little sneak peak at a few of them.

---

We already have an achievement system in place. I got one the other day for defeating, I believe, 6000 enemies. We just don't have a means of viewing them. I believe you get one for every World NM you defeat as well. They just pop up as text on the chat log.

That's the history log viewable through Lodestone. There is going to be one that we'll be able to access in game that I am referring to, which I am hoping won't just be a repeat of what is tracked on Lodestone. If so, then I'll be disappointed.

I agree oh my god are those suggestions retarded or what.
Play hide and seek because of the lack of content?! You people are scaring me. o_O()

if they keep pvp in secluded areas away from the rest of the ff world then that fine.

tbh i dont think ff needs pvp at all. draws the wrong kind of players imo and only ends up with constant whining that x class can beat y class nerffffff nowwww .
no thanks.

the game , although somewhat aged already....is still in its infancy.

not enough to do, take a break, play other games as alot of us do. not one game in existance keeps ppl happy forever, so add some variety and dabble in a few.
take the games for what they are, games, not rl and certainly should not be something you need to live in, in order to be happy with them.

yes go read how we are getting 1 real piece of content.....and thats about it...and its taking them 10 days longer to do. arent you excited to be bored again after a week of it being released?

Hamlet defense in 1.21. I hope its like Beseiged and Campaign. I loved doing those in 11 to kill time.

I hope this doesnt come off as rude but..

You know... I earn a living from the government but I dont have an eye or a leg from being in combat.. Dont label ppl that live off the government as some kind of white trash lazy person because you dont know ppl's lives and what they have done or doing with it.

So.. hopefully when you read this, you can go aplogize to your mom for taking up room in her basement and you've decided that your 35 and its time to move out.

Honestly, some of the most fun I had in FFXI involved events my LS and I setup on our own. Level 1 race to Jeuno from the main cities, taking out Bubbly Bernie with an alliance of lvl 1s, or even just trying to take a group photo of the LS in an aggro area. For myself and my friends, those are the things we talk about years later. Those are the memories I cherish most from FFXI. Those are the things I can't wait to get to in FFXIV.

I lol'd at "play hide and seek cuz of lack of content" XD

You can always Harvest or fish or level a craft. There is plenty of other stuff besides battle. Although i do agree slightly with you. There is nothing better than the havock and death from battle. Things must die!

How can anyone call someone else "lazy" when it comes to video games? Whether you teleport or walk to town, you're still sitting in a chair staring at a screen. I'd say teleporting so I can get done quicker then go for a jog or do some cleaning around the apartment is a lot less lazy than running my character back to town each time.

Especially when leveling DoLs out at Iron Lake whith a whopping two leves per run.

Not sure why you're still replying to this Irana... but it sounds like you're just tired of the existing content. If it is, it simply comes down to this; wait for it. It's a game and any game can get boring after playing the same battles over and over again. MMO solves this with new content, as well as single player games with DLC. All you can do is just wait for them. This has been mentioned a bunch of times already. The content is rolling in for 1.20 within a month, hopefully.

As for people suggesting user based content; It is not always an ideal "group activity" for everyone. Such as some people like to roleplay, create artistic videos, apply challenge limitations, and so on. Needless to say, these activities are more of self amusement, and less on character development or game progression. In other words, some people want to play the game for the game, and other enjoy using as a medium for other means.

Such as I like to create silly comics highlighting my experiences, opinions, and other aspects of FFXIV. Is that part of the game content? No. I'm just using the game as a context medium so I can enjoy drawing silly comics. I could draw silly comics about anything, doesn't have to be FFXIV.

dlc's are just a way to get you to pay more for a game, while they are fun, the only thing they truely do is ruin your trade in value for the game cause your sitting on the stupid thing for half a year for the dlc's. how bout putting all the content in all at once and stop waisting our time. while i don't like nothing to do, i rather have nothing to do after fully done rather then in small spurts between content. that way i can at least say screw off and not pay for the game/mmo.

Another pet peeve of mine.
Why always, when someone starts a sentence along the lines "I find it boring in the game...." there is someone handing out life advise on how you should be doing other stuff with your life than sit home feeling bored playing a computer game?
For the love of god, the game IS BORING if you have done all the fun stuff in it already so I think it is very valid to come on the forums and discuss the need of more content.
I am sure if OP needed advice on how to spend his/her freetime outside of the game, they could go and ask that on Yahoo questions or something, not on FFXIV forums! (lol)
