I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure if the first post is sarcastic or not...
So I'll assume it isn't and say that I agree <3 For me the game is very alive.
I wake up, check my retainers and there's always something that sold. The marketboard is very alive and keeps me active.
Because of the market I deal with (GC and recently Diadem spoils), that means that I then have to run content to get more GC seals and Diadem spoils.
With the new Diadem discord, I now have that to look forward to as we've gotten successful runs nearly every day or every other day! I <3 how we were able to get together to revive it.
Then the people in my FC who will be asking for help as they are still going through their MSQ and they need help with a dungeon or trial. Even though these can be done with random people, people usually ask if anyone wants to tag along for roulettes because it's fun to do things with people you know.
I enjoy the activity in various linkshells. The hunt community in Faerie is just so amazing.
My FC mates are often getting mount farm or map parties together and it's really fun reading them getting all organized and set up to go.
I'm not too involved in the pvp community, though I do go in there every once in a while, but I know people that are and they're so passionate about it. I did join the RW revival discord and once again, it's amazing the community's desire to work together <3.
Plus some people I know have been having fun in Eureka. Not sure if SE put in that magicite sync secretly or if there are less people going in there, but apparently things take longer to kill and actually require mechs again like they did in the first few days, so the people who tell me about it are telling me it's fun again. I wish I had the time to go again and check it out.
And of course it's always fun when I'm doing retainer stuff in Limsa and suddenly I see shouts for people trying to set up emote or glamour events. They're so crazy I love it <3
Also it's great to see how many parties are in PF for savage content, but also sometimes fun ones to do syncd old trials, or even "Other" PF for people who just want to send out a nice message. (I think I've seen a "PF" that said something like "I hope you are having a wonderful day and know you are all special and loved" or something like that)
There are definitely communities of people that make the best of what's available and I just love seeing it. I feel for people who aren't part of these wonderfully active communities.
And right now people are looking forward to HoH, even if they didn't like POTD, because of the announcement that the harder levels start at 30 to get there faster. Having to work from 50 to 100 in POTD just to get to the fun content is a chore, so HoH's announced pace is getting people all excited.
