    I don't have much drive to bother with Ultimate. I actually quite like engaging in high end/challenging content but finding a reliable group of players who are friendly, reasonably competent and don't treat raiding like a second job has proven to be very difficult in FFXIV when compared to other MMO's that I've played.

    I don't bother with ranked PvP either. I have a very strong loathing for competitive content that doesn't encourage good-sportsmanship. It doesn't help that early ranked seasons were plagued by cheating and third party sites are used to advertise and sell 'boosts' in the present day. Never allowing rewards from previous seasons to be available again in the future is also a pretty stark contrast to the rest of the game - a product of desperately trying to make FFXIV PvP into an 'e-sport', I suppose. The lack of an ability to actually chat in real time with other players is also something I detest.

    I try to at least dabble in every other aspect of the game.

    Ultimate/Savage[and sometimes EX] i used to enjoy them but now i dont have the patience to deal with peoples toxicity surrounding said content.
    That can apply for a lot of MMOs with said difficulties not just XIV. I guess im starting to treat games like games and nothing more /think

    pugging anything Extreme or above. I used to do it, but after the frustration that was Sephirot I completely stopped doing extremes cause pugs in this game are some of the most horrible of any mmo I have played.

    Ditto to this, but different reasons.

    There was SO much salt and toxicity when it was at its height of popularity that it turned me off from ever wanting to try it. Not to mention, I just didn't enjoy Eureka in general, and didn't bother making any more logograms than were required to make my weapon.... and even then I never bothered using them since it was too inconvenient to set them on PlayStation.... and since I know they're basically required to do the content, that was just another reason not to go.

    The main issue I saw with Baldeson's Arsenal was player base related. In past games content organizing larger numbers of players worked fine because people would figure out how to make what they had at the time work. Nowadays players are more prone to just follow a guide for anything and not actually think for themselves. As a result they end up with an attitude of "must copy exactly or not possible" coupled with people that thing voice chat is a requirement because they feel the need to constantly say what is blatantly obvious to anyone with basic observational and analytical skills. (Two things most living organisms should have anyway).

    Voice chat used by my main LS in FFXI had 0 in game related conversation when doing end game content. We would just randomly BS or sing karaoke while doing dynamis, sky, sea, HNM's etc...

    PVP because it literally goes against who I am.

    Pretty much all savage tier raids.

    Ultimates/Savage/Some extremes. I honestly just don’t find the stress of getting a static, researching the fight, trial and error, etc all that fun. Sometimes I find myself asking for more solo content like with that solo instance for the new Queen relic weapons. That was fun to fight.

    Savage and above. I've watched videos on some, and there's no way I'd remember all the mechanics. I have enough trouble learning the normal mode stuff.
