The game is more dead than it was pre-3.1

[Teryaani]

Things like seeing the sights, flying, talking to friends, making new friends, and helping newbies (which apparantly is fully separate "content" from helping your Free Company) is just as much content as my "snark" is. Just like Magis and Moqi said, the core content of the game is sorely lacking, and it's really starting to show and have an affect on players.

Is the gold saucer, and all it entails, content?
Wolves Den?
Frontlines?
Sightseeing Log?
Hunts?
Crafting?
Gathering?

Is this game lacking something sandboxy? You're dang right it is. But there are things to do.
