good and bad experience with this game

i did resub after my trial ended in the hopes something will change with the game. i got brd to 50 and enjoyed the story very much, but once i had to start grinding dungeons to purchase gear from vendors i started to lose some interest. i got my fishing and botany to 50 and am now working on my mining. if i can not find some desire to play my brd more then i will not be resubbing after this month. i do feel i got my monies worth, $30 for the pc version was a great buy for the content i have enjoyed. now at end game though i feel a lack and spend alot of time missing ffxi (pre abyssea). i know that game was a big grind, but it forced u to do that grind with others and created a community, people u liked and people u hated (lol). this game has left me with little reason to make any friends outside my rl ones.
