This game is in desperate need of persistent progression content for main jobs...

I feel the same.

Max level content below Savage just feels like it has no lifespan after a certain point. It's designed so the casual player doesn't have to spend time on it. This patch, I had the 3 star craft rotation figured out, two full penta-melded sets of 480 crafted, Eden 5-8 beaten first try on each boss, the MSQ done and Ruby EX beaten on week one. I was fairly busy IRL too, just nothing took more than a few hours max.

There are other older things to do, ofc. Gold Saucer, PvP, Hunts, side stories, fishing, PotD, HoH and so on. These kept me pretty well occupied for the first year or two ingame. But you can't keep turning to old content forever without it turning stale.

In WoW at least you had Mythic+ and a raid difficulty in-between Normal and Savage. That game's a mess now, so I won't hold it up as a shining example, but I do feel endgame could keep you occupied more than just a week or two.
