The overall feeling in Eorzea these days (and this in Selbina, arguably the most populous server of them all) is one of inertia. Very little happens. Most players, are capped in multiple classes and seem to have had enough of the dungeons, the primals, the strongholds, the NMs... Veteran players are out "until the patch" with no promising objectives left to entice them into fight. People are either beta-testing Tera, or taking a break to try out The Old Republic, or perhaps finishing Skyrim. Anything but playing FFXIV. Some nights in the past two weeks it has felt like the world has ground to a halt. Please say something... More importantly, do something. Perhaps (since you don't seem to know it) start by asking someone to tell you how classic FFXI worked and understand where we are coming from.
Yep, same thing is happening on saronia in my linkshell, its a pretty hardcore linkshell and the most hardcore members have done pretty much everything worth doing including myself, primal fights are getting boring and tedius, we have done the 10 minute moogle, darkholds loot is junk, strongholds loot is crap also, materia farming can be done solo and even materia prices have reached very low prices because noones buying any and there is a massive surplus on the wards.

So yeah its been dead the past few weeks all ive got left to do is gathering and crafting achievments to pass the time. There is the occasional hope of doing moogle now and then but it never happens as to many players just dont log on. I cant blame them tbh.
