I'm a very casual player with no interest whatsoever in replaying instances and fights more than a few times, so I'm looking for content I can do without the need to grind to raise my ilvl.
(Not only do I get extremely bored of instances after a few runs, but I also suffer from very bad lag, so playing them is usually very stressful by default.)
So far these are the things I plan on doing in XIV after the 2.2 update:
- Playing the main storyline until I hit some sort of ilvl wall (I am currently on Ifrit HM)
- Playing side story quests (yay Hildibrand!)
And depending on what content there is I'd probably like to eventually get all my crafts and jobs to 50, both for the story and to have more options to get content done.
So my question is:
What other content can I enjoy in XIV without having to grind ilvl gear? :D

If you're not interested in repeating content, I don't think this game is right for you.

I figured that would be the case, but I was hoping otherwise.
Guess I'll just let my sub run out and move on. -

Signs up to play Japanese MMO, doesnt want to repeat content. Did you have any idea what you were getting yourself into?

They have already stated that they are continuing the main storyline with the next patch, repeatable content is important for mechanics of battles and team efforts.
Some of the better gear is found by repeating content, but as others have said, it is a trend within this game atm, maybe in time there will be more to do that is not, but for now... -

Dailies, main scenario, side quests, seasonal events, the lvl 50 dungeons (though if you do them after 2.2 they will drop Darklight which will let you do more stuff), crafting, gathering. Can also do the duty roulette if you don't mind playing a random dungeon occasionally. This will get you more tomes for better gear too.
Once the Gold Saucer & personal housing are in you'll have mini-games (gardening & possibly chocobo breeding/racing + some kind of "Table game").
It seems long-term there will be many other activities to participate in. There will always be some element of repetition (that's the nature of MMOs), but if you play casually you should find a variety of things to do. -

what everyone said, dailies, story and sidequest, you can also level a gatherer to 50 to get treasure maps, and a crafter to get gil, even if its slow you can get tomes doing some fates, treasure hunts, and daily to get some gear and complete the story quests, also the "chalenge log" is coming in 2.2, this could add some fun to open world, and don't forget to level your choco.
Just don't listen these ppl saying this game is not for you, they have no idea, glad they don't work for SE.
