It's fine to get things done instead of watch a timer - what's ridiculous to me is the need to do this. When I log into a game I want to play, not do chores while listening for a random pop-up or watch Netflix that I will have to pause at a random time. I like to concentrate on what I am choosing to do.

I guess the other in-game activity suggestions are helpful to some - I find a lot of that boring and not what I want to be doing. I enjoy FFXIV for the main story, dungeons/trials/raids. I play around with glamours and housing but that only provides so much content and at some point you are happy with your glamor and house for the time being.

FATES are dull, but I guess would help level - except that in Stormblood where I am no one is doing them. They are already tedious in a group let alone soloing them.

It sounds like this is just how things are - so I unsubscribed for now. It's fine that they created side activities that just don't appeal to me. I'm happy if other people enjoy doing those things. Maybe I'll come back for more story and when things are more active again in case that helps.
