The game is more dead than it was pre-3.1

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.

Yet with the possible exception of crafting/gathering, none of that is "core content". PvP is largely ignored by SE, the Sightseeing Log is the very definition of side content (which is easily completable in a few hours, especially the HW entries), and Hunts are a boring zergfest that I've never seen anyone say they enjoy. Regardless, I was calling out Kosmos' post for fluffing up his list of content with extra things that are obviously *not* content, none of which your post has touched on at all. So, you obviously either agree with me and don't want to admit it, or you think those things are content but can't come up with a reasonable explanation for how they can be considered content.
