My friend the "content locust" :(

I understand that. We all understand this. But we should also understand that not everyone likes to do obsolete content, level classes they don't like to play, level chocobo when it doesn't even matter, etc. The choice are so limited that players are feeling this way faster.

But that's relative. It's as subjective as my preferences. Many people I know make this complaint, haven't tried pvp, don't have 50k seals, etcetra...it's like you only read the first line and decided to comment to be honest.

I'm prepared...are you? And who says something has to have a personal gain in order to be fun? I help people in my linkshell all the time with something that nets me little reward. That is kinda what an mmo is all about, but yet many people treat mmos as an isolated experience.

Imo, it's just kind of sad is all.

Your friend would probably want to do those things if there was a purpose to doing them.

PVP: Not many in the FF MMO really care for it.
GC: They lost a significant purpose in ARR. They are nothing compared to what they were in 1.0. Just a pile of seals that can be used to purchase filler trash.
Chocobo: Outside of leveling your chocobo, or perhaps spiritbonding. What purpose does this have? It's not like it's required when leveling since everything is so easy.

They have content, but everything is bare bones to the point where it feels worthless doing it.

Addressed in the op.

Not everyone can share your sense of hope for the future. Square-Enix needs to show us what they can do. I can hope all I want this game will change, doesn't mean it will.

Yes, that's human nature. We mostly do things that benefit us. Some players can find enjoyment chatting with friends, helping out, etc. Those are the same type of players that can make their own fun and can do it in any game they play.
