In all seriousness, we're only a few weeks past launch, NOT everyone is going to be up to the Binding Coil of Bahamut.
I think you and or others have burnt yourself out a little too quickly.

yea i dunno maybe i'm just going a bit to emo.. i mean atleast titan was a good challenge.. very fun.. hopefully bosses of that difficulty keep rolling in very soon =-/

I'm going to say this as nicely as possible, but in your free time waiting for more challenges you may want to practice better grammar and spelling. Also really, we are complaining about a lack of content already? Try logging off sometimes people!

This is why people should not rush.

I can understand how it might feel like a wall. You might be 50 and in a good FC, but if you're not in your FC's main/primary group you're not going to be going into the Coil.

Well considering just how soon it is after launch it seems that you rushed to the end. Don't be too disheartened though, new content is coming and soon. It's just that not everyone plays at the speed you do and therefore aren't catching up nearly as quickly. I played in 1.0 and never got to 50 and I still haven't, although I'm close. I find there no lack of things to do considering I've got a lot of classes I enjoy playing and a lot of crafts I'm working on as well.

The new 24 man raid crystal tower is coming out along with a lot of other things, so I'd prolly recommend a small vacation from the game, a week at least and then when you come back maybe pick up a class you haven't worked on too much. Get a few more cross class skills or try a craft.

Most players are still enjoying their time leveling classes and jobs they like, there will always be people rushing to endgame for the gear (that will eventually get obsolete after new content anyway). You did this to yourself.

You don't really have to rush to check content off the list.

Assuming you got to 50 as a new player, 5 days or so with MSQ/Fates/Quests -

Wanderers was DoA outside of obtaining items to meld for Relics
Amdapor was doable with full AF, a few runs/upgrades into the dungeon and you clear it faster each time
-Earn tokens for Darklight, Relic Weapon, AF+1
Primals are DoA outside of Relic quest, no reason to farm weapons because outside of Tomestones you can do a new Relic every 1.5 hours
Bahamut's Coil locks you out of each Turn until the weekly reset, meaning once you've farmed enough Mythology, beat Turns1-4, your week is over.

You didn't have to rush to be at this point by any means.

Plenty of fresh starts on our server had their relics done 2 weeks ago, some of them are running Coil. Of the groups that are past Turn 4, some are from new servers. Getting to 50 isn't exactly hard if the game is throwing XP at you.

Your 2/3/4th new start jobs, sure. And the leveling process in this game is terrible, that's why I powerleveled everything to 50 in 1.0.

Could also be they are normal and everyone else is too busy trying to have sex with cats.

I'd be more inclined to say that this is why "people should not be surprised about the wall after rushing"

Well obviously, if your only focus is to get to 50 on one class and you find that fun then by all means.
The point is, that none of these threads are going to fix an issue concerning 5% of the playerbase that chose to only focus on endgame from the moment they started playing.
I would recommend taking a break before you're so burned out you can't even stand to log on.

A lot of us have jobs, or school, or kids we have to pay attention to every now and then or else they'll grow up with a general sadness inside. Some of us have all of the above. We can't dedicate 5-10hours to a game a day as much as we'd like to.

i didn't rush to 50 by any means and i am already on my way to having a 2nd. i will be in full darklight in the next couple days, already have my relic and will pretty much just be loafing around in coil until 2.1 comes out.

i work 8+ hours a day, sometimes weekends too. i go out and do things. i go to the gym every other day. it's not super hard to progress in this game like some of you seem to think it is. that being said though, OP you may want to rethink your expectations with this game. chances are there won't be much of a jump in content for raiders / progression minded people until at least 2.2 or even later. strap in for the long haul or start looking elsewhere for your fix, just my advice.

I have my PLD and WAR both at 50, in full Darklight, with my PLD Relic. I don't feel like I've hit a wall at all. I've actually been looking at what else I have left to do, and I feel a little overwhelmed. I still have DRG, MNK, BRD, BLM, SCH, WHM to level, plus all of the crafting and gathering classes. I always enjoy getting to max level quickly and jumping into content, and this is the first game that has let me do that and still seems like it has a TON of content left for me to do.

I wouldn't say he rushed. I mean I'm a very casual player. I refuse to rush. Only play a couple of hours on weekdays, and a bit more on weekends. I already have my acn to 39, mining to 15, cnj to 15, weaving and cooking to 5-8. Fishing to about 10 I think ,Got my chocobo and ranked him up to 3. Am a corporal in my GC. Ya nothings maxed but if I just did my acn instead of other things I'm positive, even being as casual as me I'd be in the OP's position too...

I miss "level up a crafting/gathering class to earn a bit gil" in your list

This is what happens when you make a game a rush to "endgame". Most likely the devs will not be able to push out content faster than the players will be clearing it. Yet another thing that I called waaay back before I was just another "doom sayer" in the beta forums: the game will pretty much be clearable because of how short the "journey" to endgame is (if it even exists at all), or at least clearable until the next content patch rolls out. An MMO should never be "clearable", at least not for a very long time. Take note, SE; your player base is clearing your MMO in less than a month.

I'm definitely not a "rush to 'endgame'" gamer, but people can and will do what they enjoy. There's a type of gamer that plays "non-stop", 60+ hour weeks, gets all the loot, gets bored, then quits. It's just that we're in that "gets bored" period. Soon many of those will quit. Maybe come back at each patch/expansion.

But those are just the ~10%. Most people at this point are somewhere between 1 class at or near level cap and a handful of classes in the mid-levels (not counting version 1 characters). Plus SE hasn't been selling the game since launch, and there are lots of people who either can't buy it or are waiting for the launch glitches to be resolved. None of these are "hitting a wall" yet.

Ooh, that's great to hear. Plus more is coming soon: 2.1, 2.2, ...

There are always players who want to rush to 50 in every new game or find out who is the highest level. While surfing the web I found a page called 'Im 50 now what?'
Here is the link. http://accomp.me/ffxiv/im-50-now-what/ I think I found this when I was reading someone elses forum post earlier today.

The devs don't "make it a run to endgame" THE PLAYERS DO!!!

Someone who's 50 before a month's up clearly made their choice to ignore 90% of the game in their headlong charge to 50. If that's what they wanted, fine, but they can STFU about 'lack of content', the content is there, THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT!

Nope. The devs create a game that revolves around end-game, and thus make getting to level cap and accessing said "endgame" (that isn't really endgame, as it's where the game "starts" according to the devs themselves) an effing breeze. They themselves create this situation - they dig themselves into this ditch that will only have them spending a lot more money and effort trying to develop more petty instances faster because everyone will just be stuck waiting for something new to clear. If you've read any of Yoshi's posts - particularly the one where he talked about the direction of the game and his vision as a (exceedingly casual) gamer himself, you would know by now that his intention was, indeed, to create a game that was a mindless rush to endgame. He even went as far as to say that in every new game he plays, he wishes there was this "magical button that would bring him to the level cap so that he could enjoy the endgame", for crying out loud...

I don't think I rushed at all... got to level 50 with Paladin In about 3 weeks. But rather than hop on the endgame treadmill and get thrown into endgame with people that are lacking in social skills, I chose instead to hop on Conjurer and level that. With about a week under my belt there, I am sitting at 25 and all I've been doing is grinding dungeons. In addition to that, I have leveled every other battle class up to 15 (with the exception of Lancer, which I am saving). XP in this game is not hard to get if you know what your doing. Heck... you don't even have to grind FATE's to get it either. XP gain increases at a gradual clip as you gain levels... so while you start out getting 25-50xp per kill, by the time your in the late 40's, your getting 350-500 xp per kill (and that's without rested xp).

I wish people would stop labeling other people. Elitists, speedrunners, rushers, casuals, noobs. So many labels... and yet the people using those labels usually fail to acknowledge that different people have different playstyles. There is no right or wrong way to play a game (barring playstyles that involve glitches/exploits/hacks that is). Stop being so bloody judgemental people!

Welcome to 2013 MMORPGs, that's all I can say, OP :\
