My friends make up most of my fun and interests. If you ever sen me in game I'm most likely jumping in circles while typing in a linkshell about silly stuff, and thats a linkshell me and my friends made together. Even the fc is fun, it may be small right now but building a fc isn't so bad as its getting larger and meeting new players is fun sometimes, even though we have plenty of filtering we have to do in this diverse community.

Hm what else.....I guess just about anything that doesn't involve waiting on a que or suffering for one's mistakes. Its something I can find in just about any MMO. I guess I could go play another but thats the thing. I payed for this game. 3 years ago I was having soooo much fun, year later I wandered around still looking for interesting things to do and achieved my own drama baggage by then due to elitest which are funny to me but I'll get to that in a sec.

Year after I find out there was very little reason for me to play longer than 2 weeks. Why now? because the game has gotten so friggen slowww. Its not even burnout, because I had that crap long before ffxiv. The story was the most interesting (and sometimes the most annoying, looking at you Betanaud) and the music, oh the music is so good....before hearing it so many times over. When the grind commences, the fun stops for me, and the one thing that don't involve tedious crap is my friends and story. Speaking of tedious, savage modes! You'd think they'd reward you with more story, but they offer you gear instead. Why's that a bad thing you ask? Its just a trophy that'll be overshadowed later. If BIS actually mattered I would care more, its not like the story is so hard I need every materia slot filled.

I miss how extreme modes gave you a cutscene at the end. Now its just, "You beat it, here's a toy you can play with. *throws in your face*" I used to like trying these but running a little of them its just not worth it. Its why you see so many people complaining about em, they're hard for all the wrong reasons.

Anyways that's all I like about ffxiv, also little extra rant...srry.
