It's definitely burnout. We have far less stuff to do than when 2.1 came out, so a lot of us are bored out of our minds from running everything constantly. Back in 2.1 we got the EX primals for Ifrit, Garuda and Titan, the Hildibrand questline, Pharos Sirius, Haukke Manor HM, Copperbell Mines HM, CT, Ultima's Ballad, the Amalj'aa and Sylph beastman dailies, Good King Moogle Mog XII, and PvP. That is a LOT of content to chew on for a while, so we were never bored. But for 3.1 we've gotten just Saint Mocianne's Arboretum, Pharos Sirius (Hard), the Vanu Vanu beastman dailies, Thordan's Reign, The Void Ark, and the Diadem.

That's a striking lack of content compared to then. Only 2 new dungeons, 1 beastman tribe, 1 EX mode, 1 Raid, and 1...I'm not sure what to call the Diadem tbh. That's not a lot for the playerbase to chew on, especially considering we didn't have that much endgame content back in 3.0 either. We need more than this small amount to keep us going, the anima questline is barely doing it for a lot of us.
