Why aren't you subbing to Final Fantasy XIV now that the trial period is over?

This has nothing to do with A Realm Reborn being a "console MMO". In fact it has nothing to do with the size of the zones or the combat either. It's all about the grind. No one likes a lot of grinding, and the idea behind preventing that is engaging long term end game content through frequent updates or just one large content update that adds a ton of content.

The idea is not to have the players grind so much that grinding in other MMO's looks tame by comparison.

A large content update like 2.1? /facepalm

You mean the patch that adds Player housing, 1 PvP Arena, 1 Dungeon, 1 Primal, and 2 HM's of existing Dungeons? Oh and Extreme versions of already existing Primals! Ya, that's so much content!

...If you're going to facepalm, at least do it over something worth facepalming for. Not this tiny update you think is some large patch.

Until i max every class gathering crafting or otherwise im gonna contiinue to sub yeah its a grind for crafting and gathering and when you get your main to lvl 50 but to me its worth it in the end. So i will continue to sub and grind the crafts and gathering and kill things on the side until everything is lvl 50 then and only then will i quit playing the game.

Basically this, and I'm sure people will be saying "why not try the other things such as side quests,leveling another class or crafting..etc,

Side quests/Leveling another class/job - What side quests are left after you've gotten one job to max? FATE Grinding is boring and dungeons don't give enough exp for the amount of time they take.
Crafting - I wouldn't mind crafting if the gear you crafted was a bit more useful.

^ pretty much this, agree with him or her, FATE grinding its not a end game mechanic its just pointless exp grind, also social aspect of game community is 0, its just gold spammers, 2nd issue i have is not chat bubbles, this may sound stupid, but to have more social aspect chat bubbles is pretty important we longer use text box to chat we all enjoy seeing people talk as we walk past them, i also enjoy having random convo coz i see something said, please god bring in chat bubbles.

You forgot Crystal Tower. Just saying.

To some that may not actually be real "content" because after running coil enough any drops out of CT will be worthless for them, so they'll do it once to see the story and be done with it unless they want to gear alts. Now the same cannot be said for the poster you're quoting however because CT is entirely meant for them, if someone hasn't even started coil yet let alone gotten their relic at this point then it's safe to assume CT is right up their alley(which for who you were quoting it is).

killing Titan HM on my dragoon in a pug and getting relic + 1 was fun but then the CM/AK grind had me bored to tears.

I also have a 50 smn and decided to get relic for him. Killed ifrit HM, then kill Titan HM, oh wait fuck you can't kill titan before Garuda HM? Well the quest doesn't say that it just says kill all 3 GG i quit. Not only that trying to grind DL gear for a second class is slam your head in to your desk type of boredom...Okay not only quit but now uninstall...bye. It's sad because I met some cool people in this game but I'm not a masochist and can't justify that kind of wasted time no matter how hard I try to.

I don't understand why they wouldn't just make hard mode on all the dungeons, because some of them were actually fun leveling up. But most would only play them once or twice because a few levels later a new one opens and also they gave bad exp and gear you get was only worth while for a few levels so it wasn't worth the time.
