Honestly, im incredibly bored at end-game. Level 50 MRD, and I think, by now, this whole "you rushed to 50" thing is a moot point.

Literally, I don't do anything because I don't find anything enjoyable. Either I can grind AK (so damn boring) or I can level a gathering class to level a crafting class. It's just meh to me. If they revamped the dungeons where it wasn't such a grind I would probably do them but for the amount of time it takes to clear AK (roughly an hour) it feels too much like a grind.

At this rate, I don't think I will sub considering there won't be anything for me to do until next patch which is in November.

If you literally don't find anything enjoyable, why are you even waiting for November? Why haven't you uninstalled and tossed this game from memory yet?

Judging by OPs armory profile, he has plenty to do still.

Thats what beta development is for. But we are in Beta phase 6 right now... so what ev.

I've played a long list of MMOs, most of which at launch. The first YEAR is basically beta if that's how you feel. No MMO launches well. I think the .3 tick rate was a bad decision and needs to be changed but everything else is ahead of most MMO launches, content included. Everyone compares MMOs at launch to 10 years worth of content of any other big MMO. It takes time....so what ev.

Leveling is super boring, the only fun part of the game is at end game, and the end game isn't enough to sustain players for 3-4 months unless you enjoy sitting around doing nothing for hours waiting for your group to log on to do coil. That isn't fun for me, though. In FFXI I could craft, fish, farm, run BCNM's, solo/duo/trio sky pops, solo/duo/trio sea pops, farm zeni with 2-3 people, farm VWNM pops with 2-3 people, leveling other classes was actually enjoyable, I could mine, I could do so much.


Crafting in this? 1-50 in a day, 3 tops, gathering? Shards are the most money/hour as a 50 miner/botanist, which you can do at level1, there's little to no use of gil and "farming" consists of soulbinding gear and turning it into materia. Which is ok and something to do I guess, but gil doesn't allow me to progress my character in any way, only coil gear does. Fishing takes 2 days to cap at 50, 4 tops. It's just too quick/easy to get everything done in this game. Leveling a craft to cap should take you months and millions of gil + farming to cap it, it should be an accomplishment, not something I can knock out in a weekend. Relics should take a better part of a year, if not longer, to finish, not a SINGLE DAY. I started my relic and finished it in the SAME DAY, never having done garuda/titan with my group before, we still downed them both. There's almost no use of any crafted gear except some 2 star pieces at 50 craft, which takes dungeon runs to make anyways. If I'm capped on darklight gear, and have my 300 tokens for the week, I literally have nothing to do besides afk until my group is on to run coil - the same as every other RAID MMO. That isn't fun.

I honestly doubt you guys all have Coils on farm ... so there's something to do ! (Get to 50, gear up for it, clear required content etc...)

I can't just spam coil all day, I need 7 other players I play with to log on all at the same time with different playtimes, so at most you can do coil a few times a week for 4-5 hours or something, in base case scenarios. Am I supposed to afk in town and play other games while I wait to do the only content I have left in the game? That isn't fun, I should have tons of solo/duo/trio content I can knock out while waiting to do raid content, like FFXI did.

I hope it does take 2 months. I parked my BLM at 30 and am working on my crafting/gathering roles. I'd like to get them leveled before the next patch for sure.

People who claim there is heaps to do tend to play an hour or two a day. If that's your bag, I applaud you. I tend to play for 4-5 hours a day after work and that sort of play schedule seems too heavy.

Actually, I disagree. I have been consuming all my free time with this game(I really need to stop, but instead I am trying to convince others to join). I spend on average 2 hours every morning, and 5-6 hours every night. Not counting weekends which... Well you can guess. And I have yet to hit 50 on anything yet because I am not grinding for exp. That seems key. I am not saying you are wrong for playing the way you do, but that you honestly think someone clearly isn't playing as much because they aren't where you are, or have a different opinion, seems a bit naive to me.

If you have 300K concurrent players at peak time, yet only 5% of them are end game, do you really think the other 95% are simply playing that much less than you and therefore don't matter?

I think that SE is targeting the majority with their timeline, which makes a lot of sense. Prioritize work on overall quality of life for the majority, over adding more content for the minority, that might introduce more issues for everyone else anyway. Anyway! Just my thoughts.

Are you afking in town? You have to basically be doing nothing in the game to not gain exp, no story, no dungeons, no fates, no quests, no leves, basically AFKing. I don't understand.

You don't even have provoke according to your profile, and yet you say you have nothing to do.... Not sure if serious....
