Nothing to do.

Yes I know there are plenty of things to do. However I come on for fun and relaxation.

Grinding mobs? Too easy.
Dungeon running, Stressful.
Crafting? Boring.
Leve? Boring.
Endgame grinding? Boring, Stressful and honestly a waste of time for me. (I'm not a hardcore end gamer or PvPer so top, toptoptop, class gear isn't nessesary for me.)
Fate zerging? Yea.... NO!

Logged out.

I'll wait for 2.1 but if it's just more of the same. *shrug* I'll be finding something else to do and SE.. There won't be a chance for a third strike out.

Sadly it sounds like this game just may not be for you friend.

Agreed, end-game of any MMO is going to be a grind of some sort or another. You should find yourself a good FC and see if that improves your experience at all.

i'm mostly like you (not into endgame, best gear) but i find lvl-ing casses, gathering and especially dungeons extremely satisfying.

i think mmo just isn't for you, or you need a game with a different combat system to keep you occupied.

You are playing the wrong genre of game then, it's going to be more of this just a bit more variety. Save yourself the trouble and uninstall and quit flamebaiting the forums. Best of luck in your other ventures OP.

Try fishing it is quite relaxing :) BTW I think you picked the wrong game type, pretty much everything you don't enjoy is standard game content for an MMO :)
I found the crafting more enjoyable in this game than any others i played over the years maybe you could give that a try.


P.S While SE do care about it's player base/customers in general i think they can live with your 3rd strike.

If you find dungeoning too stressful I'm really not sure what to say to you.

I did try leveling. =P Flamebaiting. Guess I was a bit.

Yea, I hate to say this, buy MMO genre might not be for you. At least not the MMORPG type considering that doesn't really overall change from game to game.

I would've liked it better if there was post-50 stuff to do outside dungeons

You went down the list of things to do, and called them boring, stressful, or both.

Maybe it's time to go farm some dailies in the other MMO? At least you haven't had to pay for a subscription yet.

Everyone saying that MMO's may not be for him. There are plenty of MMO's that offer more to do than grinding tomes. OP you need to find you a good sandbox game, sounds like your looking for an open world game to fart around in. You might like EVE, no grinding necessary can buy currency for your ships from CCP.

Would be nice if this game launched with more than 1 lvl 50 4 man dungeon worth running. That's kinda cheap if you ask me.

The game will expand so more content will be available. But you basically said you don't like MMOs.

The most rewarding thing for me is doing lower level dungeons to help friends out. Being a tank I party with them and use Duty Finder for instant parties to save them waiting. Show the party how the dungeon is done and let them roll on all the gear :)

I also try to chat to the party during CM and AK runs as they can be tedious!

Find something else to do then. No one is stopping you playing other games. Play a load of games/do other stuff until you get the urge to come back and see if you feel different.

There's no reason you cant play any given MMO like a sandbox game. I think OP just finds MMO's boring. If he could simply fart around and have fun, he could do that here. Fact of the matter is that MMO's are just not suitable for most ppl. Its a game you can never "finish", thus that satisfaction that you'd typically get from every other game does not exist. Put 50 hours into a console RPG and you probably feel great. Put 50 hours into an MMO and what?? It doesnt end. You play until you get bored, or you "sandbox" it and just fart around with online friends.

So...how'd Primal Hard fights and The Binding Coil go for you?

Main problem is that when a game like this needs a sub, I generally feel I have to log on frequently to justify the cost. Sure it's not much money but then again I am sort of used to other mmos where the more successful ones usually offer a variety of things to do once level capped. Ones that don't have always failed. Patch 2.1 may offer more but that's months from now? Can anyone honestly say they will love running AK every day for that long since that's about it in PvE content atm? Already tired of the place after 100 runs now, like to the point I hate it.

W/e. If there is a way to put my sub on hold, then I will do so and go back to mucking around in GW2 until 2.1 saves the day...maybe......

Brah the games been out a Month brah. Brah a Month.

Actually I already got billed. Got my free 30 days back in 1.0. As for Sandbox there are three different ones that show some innovation to gameplay and not a dime a dozen standard set of what to do. I love mmo's. Just a few years back most games kept me busy for months. I do plan on waiting, like I said, for the update before finalizing. As for rright now I dug out Rage and spending time blowing up mutants.

The first month is usually critical for an MMO's success, afterall, first impressions last.

I'm out of town on business :( I've already subscribed and I'm loving it, I just don't get as much time to play as I'd like.

How so though? 95% of MMO's use gear treadmill and power creep to foster in a one up procedure over and over throughout the games content, usually at the expense of more varied, leisure content. Saying it wont change game from game is pretty accurate.

It does sound like MMOs in general just might not be your thing. Good luck finding out what you do enjoy for the future! Maybe single player games are more your thing. =3

Though there are some MMOs out there that cater a lot more to the solo gamer in terms of having more fun mini games and other more interesting things you can do alone. Every game has a different feel to it, but if you don't enjoy dungeons here, you aren't likely to enjoy those in any MMO really, and if you really don't like crafting here, again, not likely to enjoy it in other MMOs. The crafting here is more interesting than most.

I've been playing MMO's for over 10 years, it's only the past couple years that they've gone utterly boring. Square and Enix were both companies that held my heart for their games. The story and gameplay were riveting. Now they've merged and it's almost like all the innovation was crushed leaving behind bean counters who hold the purse strings giving out orders as to how the game should be because this, this and that game were/are popular and they use it.

That's just how it feels to me. The storyline was great, had me wanting to play more and more. After that ended the rest of it is just... shallow. Yea. It feels like there's no depth to it. I've liked swimming in deep water too long to be splashing around in the kiddy pool.

sounds like you should stop playing MMOs, op.

I just want to do more crap outside of fighting, crafting or grinding boring FATE's. FATE's are killing me due to how buggy they are and how they are pretty much required to get anywhere to progress in this game, once you've ran out of quests. Subs...don't get me going there.
But y'know, you aren't allowed to have opinions on this game. Whatever you say is
"Go back to WoW." Or "Leave." comments. -Shrugs; 2.1 seems promising so I'ma check that out. First part of MMO's are usually a bust, within patches it giddy's up more from there on.
Whether SE does good in this is the the deal here. I don't care for PvP but housing and CT looks neat.

Opinions are just that. I don't understand the purpose of the thread on it though. Are you trying to make us leave as well..? I don't care what you think, I don't know you... lol
