What kills me is people rushing to endgame as fast as possible only to complain there's nothing left to do. How about slow down and enjoy ALL aspects of the game? Instead of measuring your "server first" E-peens.

And when one doesn't enjoy ALL aspects of the game because they are bleh and boring, then what?

The only thing in this game I find fun is raiding, and theres only one relevant raid to ever run, so for me this game is destined to be a 1 night a week theme park.

I hate when people tell me to level an alt or go craft or do pvp because...

1. I hate PVP in MMO's ALL OF THEM, Hammer, Wow, this, GW, GW2, etc I hate all the PVP I just don't like to PVP, I like PVE Raid Content
2. I don't enjoy crafting, nor do I have a need or reason to do it
3. I like the jobs I have, I don't want to level an alt, that is not fun to me.

Bottom line, I don't appreciate it when people tell me theres stuff to do. Of course there is, there is always stuff to do. I could just go wash some dishes or vacuum my house.... But I play a game to have fun, not to work. The only relevant content in a video game to a player is the content that is fun. If it's not fun, what is the point, it's not a job, we don't get paid to play, so it should be fun no?

I totally get that. I feel the EXACT same way. I'm just trying to get a sample from people experiencing this problem who have found a few things to do in game that may not be as fun as their preferences, but still fun enough to give some sort of sense of accomplishment.

To me leveling your chocobo, capping gc seals, etc is somewhat fun, but I understand this isn't the case with everyone.

Something I seen in the world section was "Selling titan....FOR FREE! Inquire within " That seems like something that could be rewarding and helpful to people on your server at the same time.

Thanks for your contribution bud

Do you not understand that a sizable portion of this game has capped jobs that transferred from 1.0? If we were to slow down, we would have to go at a snails pace.

That is something out of SEs control, you were bound to be bored having skipped 95% of the content in 2.0.

Even people who started in 2.0 are getting bored. Unless you want full i90 on every single class there is little in this game worth doing. Most people only want or need to play 1-2 classes at endgame. Even super casual players I know are full i90 in at least their main class. This game offers nothing but vertical gear progression ATM, so hardcore or legacy or casual... Everyone I know is getting bored.

Yeah 2.2 gives us new tiers, but its not changing anything really... It all just looks different. If there was nothing else out that might be okay but even if TESO is subpar I would rather play the story in that than a reskinned version of 2.1 that will be meaningless in another 6 months in 2.4. FFXIV is just not giving me any compelling reasons to play it over something else... I have almost no emotional investment in the game as everything is so easy to acquire. Easy to pick up and easy to put down.

We don't want players to have to spend a lot of time getting to level 50. The reason behind this is that we believe the game up to level 50 is basically your tutorial. The real game begins from level 50. - Yoshi

Thank you Doo!

Those of us who have dabbled and 'tried' out a few other things ie chocobo leveling, dailies, a couple of crafts, picked up a couple of sub-jobs for cross skills but concentrated primarily on our main character - we have been ACTIVELY FOLLOWING ALONG just exactly as Yoshi's vision and p-r described the flow of this game to be.

Now we are past the 'hopeful' part and the 'look forward to it' and currently in a place of "So, WHEN DOES THAT REAL GAME START AND WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?????"

I'd like to see Yoshi's quote in BOLD letters on every single post in this forum every single time anyone brings up any suggestions for changes, reminders of promises to come and difficulty in being satisfied with the current state of FFXIV ARR.

Bolded for all those people who keep saying "OMG YOU RUSHED IT".

It's been almost 6 months since the game was released, almost half a year. This excuse may have been valid 2-3 months in but now it's ridiculous.

Different people have different needs. Happens in every game. To some people, raid content is all that an MMO is about. I think if they enjoyed other aspects of the game, they already enjoyed them enough or did not enjoy them.

I think it's funny though, because the type of player you are talking about isn't usually a WF or SF kind of player. I mean, they actually have to whine enough to be described like that.

The player you're trying to describe usually just quits because they know that whining doesn't make content come out faster.

What kills me is people still tossing this crap around. How long has it been since launch? We're almost 6 months from launch and people are still telling others to slow down and stop rushing to endgame! The only ones that I would say that wouldn't be at any end game content would be super casual players, Who just started like 2 months ago if that. With Duty Roulette it super fast to level to 50, it took me 3 weeks of doing Low Level Roulette/Guildheist to level from 30-50 and nothing else. So unless someone is super casual playing like 5hrs a week then that Rushing to End Game crap needs to go out the door.....

As for the OP FFXIV is still a Monday Game! Login on Monday do Coils, Some CT, finish Myth..... I've run out of stuff that I WANT TO DO. I even started leveling all my jobs to 50, Even though I said I wasn't just going to. I'm not a legacy player, I have 2 jobs left and they are lvl30+. So its not just legacy players that are bored.

Are things going to change for this game? Nope! SE thinks they know what they are doing and they don't. I enjoy this game to a certain point. I enjoy doing CoB, I love Crystal Tower, I like doing HM dungeons. But all this leads to is.... Weekly Caps=crap Crafting=crap Materia=crap Companion=crap PVP=crap Primals=crap. Yes there are things to do but not everyone finds them fun to do.


As for 2.2 Content I'm looking forward to it. But how long will that content last until it burns out? When SE does away with Week Long Lockouts on new content then maybe people will feel like they have more to do. But until then, This game will always be a Monday game. It sucks too, Cause this game has so much potential.

What they need to do. Lower lockouts to 72hrs on new content, Make crafting relevant, End Game Gear that we use Materia on, PVP is still lol just want the frontlines gear, Open world content, Real NMs and tons of other stuff.
