We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Edax]

Read my edit. Expert Roulette takes an hour a day tops (DPS queue + dungeon duration); Ridorana about the same. The time investments to get tomestones are miniscule. I'm sorry, I don't see "having no time between crafting, etc." as a valid excuse not to progress.

Again, if you aren't putting the gear to use, you don't really need it.

And Dualgunner made a good point: raiders sitting at cap have stagnated as well. The only difference between you and them is that they put more into hitting the level cap at an earlier time. Before I even cleared God Kefka, I was at i369. Then I cleared, and now I'm actually at i368 because BRD has strange BiS. And I've been there for months.

You've missed my point entirely. It's not an issue with time. The reason I'm busy with such things is because I'm enjoying such things. Fitting unenjoyable grinds into the schedule is not my main issue otherwise I'd might as well be raiding.
