I didn't remember the name of it (I was like 21 when I played this, im almost 30 now), but yes that was it. And yes, I suppose you could call it content. The context of the post you quoted was that someone said FFXI was a game that had tons of content to go through when you had already achieved the best gear possible. In my opinion, farming monsters for gear that is worse than what you have is not content, that's just filler. You are no longer progressing, you are just stalling until something else comes out for you to actually progress, which would be content. Now, whether or not you enjoy the filler period is completely subjective. I'm not arguing that.

What I am saying is that most MMOs do not have a lot of truly worthwhile tasks to complete once you have obtained the best gear possible for your chosen character/class/whatever. This has always been my experience and I am not shocked or disgusted by seeing it happen in FF14, so I am just genuinely curious as to why people are freaking out over it in this game.
