Content you don't play?

[Yamimarik]

I normally don't get involved in these kinds of threads, nor do I normally question others decisions... ever (if it can be helped.) But I'm genuinely curious as to why a lot of you in this thread that named over 50% of the content that is available in game that you don't do, even play this game at all? It feels like some people just use this as a $9.99-14.99 glorified chat room, with a pretty movable avatar.

I'm not trying to be mean, trolling, or even elitist(though I'm not sure how that can be, especially since I'm not even in endgame atm ; ; ) and I personally know from personal experience of myself, if a game got to the point that it has for some of you in this thread, I just quit. I didn't think it was worth my time doing something where the majority of the game I did not do or find fun or pleasure in anymore.

Personally for me I only not do chocobo racing/breeding (I just can't get into that grind just yet.) and PVP (I tried Wolf Den and Frontlines at least 5 times, but I've always hated PVP and it's mostly b/c I suck at it.) I would do FCoB, but recently my entire FC/Static (one in the same) just left the game to play others, so it's been a bit difficult trying to find a new one.

Again, I'm really just curious as to why people still play if they don't have any enjoyment out of anything at all. Sorry if I bugged you all >.< Just ignore my weird brain if you want.

Like I mentioned on my post, even excluding all these things, for me there is still sooooo much to do.

And maybe it is a glorified chat room. Nothing wrong with just signing in and talking to friends from all over the world. Good way to relax. ^^

It could be too that you're conflating messages. While a number of us have mentioned similar disinterests, there are many who do enjoy doing these.

Though, lol, I'm beginning to wonder how many of us here spend a goodly chunk of time on glamour. xD

I can't speak for others, but for me, it's mainly about the story quests and new content (raids, trials, dungeons, etc and that aren't hardcore like upper level turn Coils) and gearing (demon gear, twines, etc at this point). After that it's a lot of repeating all of those above for the hell/fun of it or for practice - since people are the unpredictable, differing factor in every run - or helping FC level their lower jobs (or my own lower level jobs/characters). Ironic, considering I hate repeating myself o_Oa *and yet, queues Titan HM, Garuda EX, WoD and Shiva on repeat for several hours, when the only one on in the FC, for the fun of it...* I'll do leves on lower jobs to fill in the gaps between dungeon level reqs to get to the next *grinds passed Totorak >.<*, but...

For others, it might be more of an RPing outlet - the story + side quests and then using the game as a platform to roleplay on in a way that text-based or D&D-based RPing doesn't do. A non-static (as you have other player pop and factors/weather you don't directly control), more visual and environmental stage to play and develop on-going 'stories' on. Dunno if any of this helps give any kind of insight. x.x
