After playing for a month...

Shout around in capitals and the zone where the primal itself is. Get some friends or guild to help you with it.

Just play casually until the upcoming patch if you find the current features unmotivating to utilize.

I dont think the game is boring, I got no ending stuff to do ingame that keep me busy:
Cap tome
Farm primal wep
lvl DoH & DoL
Earn gil
Work on Archivement
ready gear for 2nd relic

yeah, I have a lot of stuff to do....

I have better things to do than wait days on a game to kill ONE mob in order to progress.

Is there any ways around this? It's a lame system IMO waiting and waiting and waiting. Poorly done that i have to wait for people to progress up to my point and Gee Hopefully i'll get a good group.

Hi there, it appears you might be having a bit of a hard time where most have completed the story already.. Have you attempted to get into a link shell or join an fc so you have a few people to que with? Makes things much smoother :)

Some of the reasons why that other MMO is still on top 9 years later sub wise is because a) they offer a large variety of things to do aimed at multiple types of gamers (casual, HCs, PvPers, RPers, crafters, etc) b) 1 to level cap is just a journey; the real game starts at level cap. c) they disguise the 'grind' much MUCH better. I have done AK over 100 times now and man is that wearing thin, let me tell you. Well designed end game in MMOs makes or breaks potential long term success which has been proven more times than I can list. Proof is in the pudding.

Willing to give this game a chance but if things really don't improve much then I and many others will more than likely be moving on. I am sure that will over joy the true 'fans' since most of those types really want people to leave but I do hope they won't complain when the population starts to decline at an alarming rate....

In a B2P or F2P MMOs, I can usually accept if things not getting better in a speedy manner but when I am paying 20 bucks a month (thanks to 401 error), I have much higher expectations these days. Call me a bit jaded after 9+ years of more failed MMOs than I can list, sorry...I have heard these excuses all before, it's like a broken record.

Why would you run AK over 100 times when you only need to run ak 8 times a week?

Has the game been out 3 months?

1) to make money selling philo items since that is the only current way for a battle class to earn gil to hopefuelly afford 1.2+ mil per piece crafted items and other things that will turn up in 2.1 (housing). I ran Prae/CM many times but I really dislike those instances mostly due to getting absolutely NO loot what so ever other than 20 more tomes. At least in AK, I can scoop up all the allagan coins after the speed rushers leave the instant the dungeon is done. ;)
2) gear up alt jobs so they are not embarrassing when I decide to fiddle with them.

Unfortunately i joined a server were English isn't the primary language of the server.

So that adds to the difficulty of my issues. So far for every duty finder progression check has lasted at the minimum of an hour and i am at lvl 22 completely discouraged.
I am a casual player and i use to be a hardcore raid leader in other MMO's. I really have no interest in joining a FC at low levels, but this issue is forcing me to do things i prefer not to do.

I will not pay to play any game that forces me to have to play with others. When i do have time to play i want to get things done. So far this weekend i've spent 8-10 hours just waiting for the duty finder. This game isn't for the lone gamer at all.

Sounds like a MMO with a group-based focus (which FFXIV is) just isn't for you.

And you said you played other MMOs? You do realize what MMOs typically are, right? See: not a solo venture.
