    What I am saying is the class itself is content, and in doing so breaths new life into content you've already visited.

    Mastered tanking Titan Ex? Try doing it as a healer.

    Finding front-line too frustrating on Dragoon? Try Bard.

    Broadening your perspectives in such a way broadens the ways you can enjoy things such as raids and whatnot. As someone previously stated, you get what you put into this game, as with many others. And sometimes, it's not the content you are doing, but how you are doing it, that ends up being what burns you out.

    If I do dungeons or primals, I do it for two reason. First - to clear the content. Second to get the loot or whatever reward there is to get. What's the point in doing it as another class?
    I'm far from burned out, there are still many things I enjoy doing in the game. But honestly, I'd rather quit than go through it all again just for the sake of doing it on another class.

    If you're only doing content to complete it or to get rewards, you may need to look at why you play MMOs in general. The games you are playing should be fun in and of themselves. You should be smiling as you dodge plumes/landslides etc. Playing the game should be enjoyable in its own right. Not just a means to a reward.

    Oh no, I do enjoy my content. But you see, some battles and dungeons in this game have to be completed over and over. Some dungeons and encounters I've completed hundreds of times. And this is only to gear up ONE class. It really is beyond my understanding how people can still find it fun after doing it so many times.

    If you no longer find it fun, you should probably stop doing it.

    It's beyond my understanding how people can endlessly do things they don't find fun.

    A lot of it's a problem of being on the bleeding edge of content.

    You will have needed to spam Turns 1-5 every week to kit out your static because it rewarded what was BIS at the time. New players only need to win once to progress. They can get full i90 in an afternoon of hunts. They can be over i90 which was the cap back then.

    Someone starting now will only need to beat Ifrit, Garuda and Titan HM once to get their relic. We used to spam them for their weapons for progression. Likewise Amdapor Keep etc.
