Lack of pve content

[Velnora]

It's amazing how quick people are to defend the mediocrity of content. A symptom of how stale the genre is currently, I would assume. Hunt trains? Nothing more than lag infested zergs. Dungeons? Glorified hallway simulators that have no intrinsic rewards to them. Outside of the story, the game is fine. Doesn't really do anything different from WoW; albeit worse. If not for the storytelling, this game would just be another WoW clone. People say there is a ton of content, yet the world is empty, and everyone is sitting in Limsa "afk".

So talk about what other MMORPGs are doing it better and what makes it better.

Talk about what things MMORPGs are not doing at all that you think would improve the genre.

To be honest, what makes things stale is when you personally choose to do them long after your own interest has faded. Games (even MMORPGs) aren't intended to occupy 100% of your focus. Take a break, do other things. Come back when there's new content.

There are people out in the open world zones, though I guess that's not going to be apparent if your game play consists of AFKing in Limsa. Try leveling a new character and see for yourself. I'm constantly running into other players out in the world as I level up my most recent character not to mention when I'm out on my other characters doing hunts, gathering, FATEs for gemstones, treasure maps...
