Things that Heavensward did

Heavensward set a great stage for 3.X, that much is certain. However, while at the end of 2.55 I had oodles of content to play and enjoy at the level cap, we have much less in 3.0 at level 60. This is my first sub based MMO, so maybe this is just the way things are meant to be, but it feels quite jarring that after the expansion and reaching the level cap, my selection of (non-raid) activities has been pared down significantly from before. Not only that, but the conventions in place to keep me grinding that list of activities are identical to those found in ARR. It makes me feel as though I'm doing busy work carried over from ARR while waiting for fresh content to come out for Heavensward.

There is other content in the game for me to play, I've started leveling alt jobs, which is tolerable. I do however feel disappointed I don't have as much content that I actively enjoy that is relevant due to in-game conventions like alternate currency or loot. I've avoided most instances that require 8 people so far, as I'd rather tackle it with my FC. As such, I've gone through much of the more casual content 3.0 has to offer. I've been playing less and less since reaching this point. I usually log on to do a roulette, but only to stay somewhat relevant while waiting for 3.1. As someone who used to log regularly for 3-5 hours a day, it's startling to find my playtime reduced to 10% of what it was before, shortly after an expansion. I have plenty of gaming options to keep me busy, but FF14 is the one I love. Like I said, it's the first sub based MMO I've played, I spent a lot of fun times in Eorzea, and I'm hoping for more to come. Best wishes for 3.1
