FFXIV has lost it's magic

Time sinks aren't challenge.

So getting to 50 in less than 2 days is a challenge? Saying that its a time sink therefore it is challenging doesn't make it so, you are correct about that. But being able to achieve something in a very, very, very short amount of time isn't a challenge either. Where is the challenge in being end game ready, such as it is, in less than 3 weeks? Even on WoW it takes a few days to ding 90, it used to take longer before WoW got nerf happy. Being Level 75 in 11 meant something. It meant you took the time to get there, it meant you worked for it. People still curse Maat to this day, it was a damn good challenge! Oh look I can get my AF in 15 minutes (5 min depending on the class)in ARR, in 11 it took a long time, it took dedication, putting on full AF made you grin ear to ear because you worked at it and you made it!

Challenge is good, I also welcome it, but not working for something = no challenge.
