    It's very easy to feel like you run out of reasons to do things when content is treated like a checklist.
    An infinitely long checklist is not a reasonable expectation though so I'm not sure how "not having a reason to go back" is a bad thing in that sense - it lets you work on your other to-do lists.

    If you want to go back, then that should be reason enough to.

    I'm assuming that's some sort of stupid meme. Makes me glad I don't use the internet like that, because then I would risk sounding just as stupid.

    Right up until you don't have reasons to go back. Then you're in the same inevitably sad boat.

    Nothing that is going to keep you there for any length of time. All of those things puts you in that zone for a few minutes at most individually. Also, the argument for tomestones is silly if you're max everything. Tank / healer queues will max you out within a day, maybe two if you decide to slow roll it.

    There doesn't need to be an infinitely long checklist, just something that makes being in the zone for more than five minutes worth it. I want to go back to every zone all the time and do things all day in them. There just isn't anything to do in them.

    Just because YOU can't see a reason to go back, doesn't mean there is not a reason for others to go back and for them to continue to go back.

    Assumption: you want to continue playing in Eorzea.

    Suggestion: start over, from scratch, on another server. Relive that older content.

    Alternative suggestion: put the game aside for a while and try something new.

    Habit is not a good reason to continue to pay a subscription. [10 year veteran of that other MMO, been there, done that.]
