Otherwise you did have a basic rotation. There were very few quests actually worth anything outside of story quests. All you did was level at specific areas on specific maps fighting specific mobs until you hit end game.. which was a different beast from the actual game much like FFXIV is now. I wouldn't say it was more fun or challanging, but it was more tedious.
I find this endgame far more tedious, also at level 65 how would you even know what the endgame was like in XI?
