Please help me understand why i should continue to play a repeat of 2.0?

Charisma: I played FFXI nothing about that game storywise or content wise felt like a repeat for me. So I would understand if you only have non FFXI MMORPG experience that you would reply like that.

SirDarts: To answer your question if you release an expansion shouldnt I be able to enjoy the new areas without having to feel I'm alone here so the only way i can enjoy outside dutyfinder xp is to go back to Northern Thanalan and XP with the rest of the server since somewhere along the way the dev team made the fates in the new areas pretty uninteresting. Just something as the quest in the new areas should tell to do fate name x in the new areas could have given the new content some play value but it didnt.

I have to compare back to FFXI again sadly because the same people who played that kept this game alive with the double subscriptions so you can enjoy this "vertical progression".

The new areas were overfilled with people during these last almost 3 weeks.
Nobody was doing fates? Sure because fates are mindnubbingly boring, unless you zerg them, and it's not worth zerging because HW fates take longer due to higher mob HP.
But there is absolutely nothing forcing you to do FATEs. You chose to do FATEs because it's the fastest consistent way. I have done like 1 or 2 FATEs during my journey from 50 to 60 and that's just because I randomly stumbled upon one and felt like it. There is absolutely no need to do any FATEs to level, at least not with your first character.
