Things sure have been stale around here...when is the next major patch ?

take longer breaks. the faithful and new players will keep the game going. don't punish yourself needlessly by forcing yourself to do stuff that will only make you hate the game even more. blame the covid for what we could be having a couple weeks from now originally.

It's a real shame that the game is held back in many ways by it's own community at times. FFXIV has a lot of potential to be so much more than it is. The game isn't terrible, but there's been a notable drop in the amount of content we're getting combined with a lack of staying power for what we do get.

It's rather baffling to me that the response to people asking for more content that has staying power ends up being to go and play other games because Yoshi-P happened to say that in an interview a while back. At a time where the game wasn't in the situation it is in at present.

I suppose I'll cross my fingers and hope that 5.3 has more meat to it and remains relevant for longer.

how long? year long breaks?, i am faithful(i hardly took breaks since arr), but even myself i am getting tired of how little there is to do outside of raids/ex trial mount farm
what i do in the game per week now is this:
1. do me daily expert roulette, it takes me less than half hour to do
2. do custom deliveries to level me crafters, is a weekly, so takes like 15 minutes to do
3. beast tribes if i am willing to do them(lets be real, the dailies are very boring), i stop doing them when i reach the reputation cap/got whatever i wanted to get from them
4. nier every now and then, 40 minutes tops
5. every now and then do some leveling, half hour or so
i hardly play more than 2 hours at max per day now due how fast can be complete most of the content
the only thing i could do outside of that is socialising, but you know what? everyone i know is generally offline playing something else because the game does not deliver long lasting content, most of them where waiting for the relic to come.... to find out it was super fast to complete
