A question for you: do you have all crafters and gatherers at level 90, with a full set of Master Recipes? Have you finished each and every Sightseeing log entry? Have you fished at each and every fishing hole in the game? There's plenty to do, but it probably doesn't suit your tastes, nor should it. If the only thing you mean by 'content' is Quests and Endgame Instances, you're missing out.

I spend days not playing Final Fantasy XIV. I have gotten to the final trial in current content but haven't done it yet. I don't plan on raiding. I play games when I want to have fun, not because I have to play to get my money's worth. I enjoy Dungeon and Dragons and have done so on-and-off for over 40 years. I enjoy reading fanfiction, watching anime, listening to music, writing/Role-playing in-game and outside of the game. I take classes to learn Japanese. I play other MMORPGs for an evening.

This game is not the Center of my Universe, although it is the one MMORPG that I'll come back to, again and again. There are a lot of players I've come to know and enjoy their company over the last seven-plus years.

I heartily believe in the advice that SE's Producer gave out a while back "take a break. do something else".
“take a break do something else, but don’t be gone for more than 45 days otherwise you lose your hard earned house and now to get it back you need to play with rng.” Yeah great motto. I can answer your question. I have all my crafters and gatherers to 90. I’ve had it that way since like, late december early january. I’ve finished savage raiding for this tier. I’ve done ocean fishing, all the fishing holes, diadem, ishgard restoration, relics you name it. Honestly there’s nothing pulling me into the game anymore, especially with some of the job decisions this expansion(healing is a major problem that Yoshi P just handwaved in the recent QnA, he clearly doesn’t care). 6.1 will be an alli raid which you do once a week and you’re done. Island sanctuary which will be housing and minion farms in one it seems. And then an Ultimate which a pretty small portion of the playerbase does, not to say it’s insignificant of course but still. That seems to be about it. We’ll be waiting until August for the next raid tier.This all doesn’t even account for the fact they’re now going to be focusing on making the game a single player visual novel basically. Which means less time put towards new content and more time being put towards old content for new players, something that we saw happen in ShB.
