Crafting isn't too bad, but gathering is extremely monotonous and boring. Fishing is boring just like in any other MMO. Sit there patiently, wait for a sound, then press a button. So innovative. Sidequests? What's the point when you're 50? That seems to be what you were implying. He could level alternate jobs, but leveling alternate jobs without all the side quests or the main story quests is a horrendous and boring grind.

He should stop to help lower level people? Help them do what, exactly? There's nothing challenging from 1-50. What help would they need exactly? Crafted items? They're horrible and a complete waste of time. Social aspect? Yeah it can be helpful, but it's not going to make a bad game fun. Role playing? Not everyone enjoys role playing, in fact I'd go as far to say that most of the MMO audience doesn't role play. Grinding for gil? In what way? That leads right back to gathering and crafting. Some may not find that fun. Playing the market? Why, so I can be banned later for no reason?

People who have problems finding the endgame boring with their DoW/DoM jobs have every right to be upset. There is another side to MMOs, but some people don't like it. That's why there are OPTIONS. There's supposed to be something for everyone. Unfortunately, the DoW and DoM endgame is one of the worst endgames I've seen in a long time.
