After playing for a month...

[RyujinUzikin]

Honestly, I was a bit bored not to be able to do coil since I haven't found a group to do it with, so I decided to do something else instead.

Right now I do one AK a day and in one day I do 2, that way I cap 300 in one week. I lv all crafts and gathering. And I farm with my main. I'm also still gathering phil tomes to buy gear for my future alt. That way when I get to 50 with it I can have full dl gear and gc weapon. All I would need to do after that is farm for primal weapon and then start the relic quest for that class.

I have a lot of stuff to do since I occupy myself with stuff to do. If you think this game doesn't give you something to do you're just not doing enough.

ya it quite simple right now.

However, once Hildebrand's Storyline quests are released thing will be less serious and more about comedy.

It will be a nice change from serious to comedy once Hildebrand's quests are finally released.

At least in 1.0 they had NMs, even if they were on small cooldowns.

Camping isn't exactly exploring. Finding treasure chests in open world warrants exploring. Trying to get the claim on a NM who has the Most Rarest Items Evers is just a way to screw the economy. And is boring as heck.

meh. with every new MMO (ok ok it's debatable if you consider ARR a new game or not) we have the same
- the crowd complaing it's too hard
- the crowd complaining it's too easy
- the crowd complaining you can't do everything solo
- the crowd complaining you do everything solo and nobody is 'socialising'
- the crowd complaining there is nothing to do
- the crowd complaining they don't have the time to do everything (or reach endgame in time)
- the crowd complaining leveling is too fast
- the crowd complaining leveling is too 'restricted' (may be linked to 'forced to group')
- the crowd complaining game is too much like wow
- the crowd complaining game is not enough like wow
...

soon we'll have
- the crowd complaining they wasted resources on end-game (less challenging thancurrent endgame)
- the crowd complaining they wasted resources on pvp
- the crowd complaining they wasted resources on housing
- the crowd complaining they wasted resources on marriage system
...

Hipster stuff about how old games were better because cool people played old games.

Nice to see FFXI players still think FFXI was perfect because it has a lower number in its name.

Also @OP, serious question.

When you came to the forums and saw 4 threads on the first page about how boring the game is, you didn't consider it stupid to post asking if anyone found the game boring?

This is AGAIN concern trolling. OP just wants to make the game look like it is failing.

[Frank_Penote]

All of you guys who have compared this to XI and how XI is so much better than XIV in one aspect or another (gear progression, min/max builds, etc) clearly haven't played XI in a good, long while I'd say since XI has done all of that stuff you guys are complaining 14 is doing. Abyssea + SoA...

Now on topic OP, as far as this game being "boring", well define boring? Not enough content? Not enough replay value in said content? Because there are a lot of dungeons in the game so far, and you could have chosen any of them to get exp/gear as you leveled up. You can also do the dungeons because their mechanics are fun and or challenging. Aurum Vale is a fun dungeon to do just for the hell of it. Darkhold is another. They are very different from their 1.0 counterparts and you can do them simply for something fun to do.

As far as crafting, there is plenty of incentive. You can meld the lvl 55/70 gears to be on par/better than DL/End-game stuff.

You know, I'm a little confused at some people who just chose to level one class to 50, be damned the rest.

It isn't like the amount of content ever changed from open beta to release; they said that they couldn't release Crystal Tower yet so people coming into this with eyes shut is about the only thing I can presume people did.

Look, I'm level 48 now on my PLD. But I'm also level 15 on my CNJ, and furthermore level 41-41 on my Miner/Armorer. I would stop every five levels and level a craft and a gatherer to help out my main class and experience different things. It took me a month now and I'm still not maxed three classes and to think that it's dull...well, I honestly haven't seen it because I've had more than enough to do. You know why? Because I'm using the Armory system the way most people should be doing: leveling other classes so I don't power through to the end content where I know there isn't much yet because it has been stated before release.

To those of you complaining about lack of content: you all knew already. If not, spend time reading official forum posts and Dev posts, and pay attention to the Letters released. It's called information gathering. A rather useful tool.

After I hit 50, I will begin looking into things to improve my Paladin. But if I get bored, I don't actually just need to grind away and get gear. I can level MRD or CNJ and improve on my paladin. And to those of you say "OH well you only need to level to a certain amount before it's pointless..." So? Gives me something else to do until more content is released.

Don't get it. Devs give you a game and a system where there is a ton of content. Furthermore, they literally explain to you that they won't have too much endgame content. And people sprout the following line: "There isn't enough content!" ...Folly. Sheer folly.

[traja]

Knowing how terrible it is at lvl 50 I have been intentionally avoiding it and have instead been leveling different classes casually. Which involves doing FATEs, a lot of FATEs. Not exactly the height of my MMO gaming history to be honest. So if you are suggesting that as an alternative to end game... just don't.

I get that the game is new and that it was released too early and that it will undoubtedly get better over time. But I don't think I want to pay for the wait.

[SoullessSvipdagr]

I love this game... I enjoy doing AK and Castrum, and Pra... Everytime is a good experience. I will continue playing this game for years to come. I cannot WAIT for PvP as well, going to be awesome!

[Minisweets]

I've been playing for 2 weeks and i am ready to hang this game up.

Doing the progression quests and having to use the duty finder SUCKS.

I am stuck in low levels waiting for an hour to 3. So i am at my first trial and can't even get past this point. 2 days now and not one Que for this trial, so Basically i am STUCK.

I have better things to do than wait days on a game to kill ONE mob in order to progress.

Is there any ways around this? It's a lame system IMO waiting and waiting and waiting. Poorly done that i have to wait for people to progress up to my point and Gee Hopefully i'll get a good group.
